It's great that we can nullify most teams apart from the very best, but FFS how hels gone through his managerial career by not coaching passing at PL level is dumbfounding.

We have a manager who can set up effectively behind the ball, but unless we have a player having a stormer carrying the ball then we hand the ball way too cheaply over to the opposition and that happens tonight.

We cant play passing football with composure under any sort of pressure. That's Moyes's major weakness. He doesn't do passing football.

Thing for me is that was a lung busting defensive performance, as you might expect against Arsenal, but did he really think they would be able to perform to that level for the entire 90 mins?
Would have liked to see a tactical change earlier, players were getting physically (and likely mentally) exhausted from about 70 mins. Their subs freshened things up and changed the dynamic, our subs were too late for me, after the pendulum had well and truly swung in their favour and put our subs under big pressure to make zero mistakes.
Barry was an absolute waste of time too, especially while Beto was putting himself about still (not that he was particularly good)

Shame we have 2 awful forwards that can’t hold the ball up tbh.

That was a brave 2-0 loss.

I am shocked our plan to try to sneak in a 0:0 against a team that scores more or less for fun didn't work. Even more so in the 2nd half where we decided to do nothing going forward and just sit back and defend.

Kim coward, get lost.

You cannot finish behind Brentford who lost half their starting XI in the summer and have a PE teacher for a manager.

My point is that it was within touching distance the finishing line.

Arsenal were clueless with what we had in front of them...any changes at that stage benefit them not us.

Arsenal were putting us under pressure and I'm not taking anything away from our effort but Moyes done what almost every manager would have done.

Walk in the park for the opposition defence. Credit to the rest of the team for doing what they do with practically 10 men.

Yep, and Barry just jogging around didn’t help.

Moyes is a numbers man. Playing the numbers is infinitely better than where we were under previous managers. It won't win us anything, but he'll leave us in a good place for the next manager, if they are any good.

[Mr Mig]

Can you explain where you think a competent manager would have Everton? That’s me assuming you don’t think Moyes is fit for purpose.

You do know the irony of your comment, dont you?

gets some credit because of the options on the bench not really good enough atm, but cant really let him off with poor management of Dibling. Will hopefully be a time next season with a better squad we get better optiona and he must adapt. Want see him using the squad more thinking about next season like obrien keep him at cb
