I think those of us hoping he'd grown as a manager and had a new outlook are the ones who have been particularly slapped out of our naivety by last night.I also genuinely worry about what it has done to some of the squad players’ mentality.
Imagine being Adam Aznou - Moyes makes 7 changes and you aren’t one of them and to rub it in he played a 36 year old right back in your position ?
So I think the squad selection even fails on the “seeing if squad players are up for it and sod the cup” - he’s made it much harder for them to shine than just 2-3 changes would have.
He's never been a perfect manager. The truth is he comes with the David Moyes downsides now as much as ever.
