2025/26 David Moyes

[Toffe3m4n]

Right back.

You said 'any player we've played at left back'. Cuco played there at least a couple of times and I even specifically remember one of them - Spurs..

Lost 4-0 and, unsurprisingly, he was utter dogmeat there.

OK then - A right back, Cuco Martina, who was a free transfer, who played left back for "a couple of times" might be a worse option than Mykolenko at left back.

I'll give you that, but not sure this is supporting your argument very well, mind.

Still not even convinced - he didn't play a lot/I dont recall a lot of him but I do see Martina managed 2 assists in 21 appearances. It took Mykolenko over 100 to match that. He was in the 90s before managing his fist.

Knowing Moyes he probably pulled mykolenko for being too reckless in his attack, wanted a more defensive player there.....

It's only the summer after next. Not long at all.
The key maybe staying in the cups this time round but if we go out early again playing the youngsters then that will give us the answer they are not ready anyway.

That would be true, were it not for the fact that we got knocked out the league Cup playing experience and knocked out the FA Cup playing youngsters out of necessity - including our MOTM who hasn't had a minute since.

He wants physicality. And the more he loses the more he thinks the answer is strength and aggression.

Look at his attacking tactics the worked on for Man Utd. Play fir set peices and make it a fight.

If you think Moyes had any say on the signings of Dibling or Aznou then you really don't know the guy at all. He may say he has final say but that is for ready made 1st teamer's (Grealish, KDH, etc..). It is why he is under no obligation to play them unless they are good enough. We may see more of Dibling next season but Aznou was bought for post Moyes. We hope to have more Aznou like signings this summer again for post Moyes. This summer Moyes again will get a couple of 1st teamers through loans, frees or cheap with maybe 1 marquee signing. The club will probably get another few youngsters in and the following season (27/28) we should have 5/6 extra players ready for the 1st team when I expect a new coach to take them on. Moyes is here to keep us stable until then.

If the manager and recruiting team are this far apart on player evaluation then somebody needs to go. And thats going to be the manager cause the ownership group is not going to spend large amounts of money on the Diblings/Rohl/Aznous of the world to watch them get 0 minutes and not develop at all. They are lighting money on fire.

 

[Pappas_23]

He's here until his contract is up. Only the threat of relegation or himself resigning will change that.

Says who?

Someone from the club I was speaking to. That is all I can say.

Don’t t be a tit all your life, there’s not a chance you would know something like that , considering we could still finish 15th and that would be a big problem for Moyes

Dibling is the odd one out there as we thought he was going to be better than he's shown.
Rohl I would like to see the actual obligation agreement as I think his lack of playing time may be down to that. Just my opinion.
Aznou I have heard we may make a profit on this summer off the cup cameo.

Have a word with your contact at the club and find out the actual reason.

Where are TFG this season? Seriously where are they? They are not bothered about league position at this stage. The club was in a bigger mess than just what you see on the pitch. Moyes was given the job not to get us relegated, that's it. he was never the long term future. He wants to finish as high as possible for his own ego imo.

I met them at an event and there is no reason I would meet them again.

 

[Infernus]

Line up on Monday was indefensible, as was that press conference. Results better start going his way, or the fans will start to turn. You can't have players out of position, and continue to do so without getting results.

 

[Nymzee]

Really not sure whether to bother with this or swerve it.
Suppose I can always hit play then dwell on whether to stick out or not in the ensuing 15 mins while sorts his coffee out and has his 13:30 cack.

Edit - have they cropped the recording (for once) or was he actually on time this week?

They always crop the pressers in the end.
