2025/26 David Moyes

[pedro789]

I still can't believe he said 1 in 4 transfers will be a success.

Mad thing to say/think.

We need to thank Moyes for stabilizing us. However, we will never win anything with him in charge. The whole point of the exercise is to win and realistically we will just exist in mediocrity with him. Move on from him in the summer.

I don’t actually have a big problem with Moyes, his line ups or his subs in all honesty.

The biggest problem this season is the dreadful transfer window we had last summer, and the non-event one in January.

Knock yerselves out thinking Aznou, Rohl or Dibling would have transformed our season had they got more minutes, it’s nonsense though.

I think what he meant was 1 in 4 of my transfers is a success

The single biggest transfer miss was Barry, who has gotten plenty of minutes despite performances. Rohl had a man of the match performance against Villa and never got a sniff since, McNeil has been plodding about whilst George and Dibling stay on the bench.

They won’t have ‘transformed the season’, but Moyes’ incredible predictable when it comes to the starting XI and subs makes having players on the bench all but redundant. Players must know it doesn’t matter how they train or how the players in front of them perform- they’re not gonna get a proper chance regardless. If you’re a new player and not 28+, you’re not playing.

Whilst I’d LOVE for us to have a miracle performance and beat City…I am also very ready to be the main hater in this thread later tonight when I’m back from the game

Rohl was ok against Villa. It wasn’t this barnstorming breakthrough man of the match performance it’s been built up as since though! The lad gives the ball away in awful areas, I imagine that’s why he hasn’t played much.

At least he wasn’t run past by every player like Gueye is. I love Gueye, he simply does not have the legs to play a full 90 minutes of PL football - and he always gets the full game. His passing is also atrocious.

Probably Tim and Rohl and Alcaraz should have played more. I just don’t think it would have made any sort of difference either way. Certainly not compared to wasting £100 million.

Those fingers are going to be twitching tonight.

Vitor in the space of 3 months with Forest is doing things that Moyes has never done.

Won at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Got to a semi final of a major European trophy.

 

[Saint Domingo]

a Chelsea team that changed their manager because they were worried about missing out on the top 5 have lost 6 in a row and will still probably end the weekend ahead of our resurgent Everton team.

They wouldn’t have had a massive impact no, and I don’t think they were particularly bought to be immediate difference makers. KDH, Grealish and Barry were all the signings that needed to hit the ground running, the most important of those never did and we’ve been punished massively for it. Dibling was bought to come on and have impacts at the end of games, develop and push the starters. Probably ditto with Rohl, George and Aznou. Really seems like no matter what, they’re not going to get minutes because the subs are pre planned before a ball is kicked. Next season, we should have had a Dibling full of confidence to make a stamp next season, Rohl and Tim knocking on the door of the first team. But it’s not been allowed to happen in any capacity. Moyes’ handling of young players is awful, almost as bad as his ability to buy a good striker.

His refusal to have Graham anywhere near the first team when Barry was showing his lack of anything. I’d rather have had Graham as the next man up 100% - reward young guys in the academy who are playing well. He’ll be the next young lad to be poached most likely.
