2025/26 David Moyes

Is there enough popcorn and/or bleach to go around today?

Be interesting to see how he plays it in his interviews. Needs to take ownership of what's happened since Chelsea and inspire some confidence that he's going to fix it. At least acknowledge the last month or so has been awful.

Why bring McNeil on a player who was going to be sold in January instead a young player who was bought for 40 million. Change everything for last game I don’t want to see that 11 start again

The only thing going around is new contracts for Mykolenko, Keane, Gueye, and the Moyesiah.

Moyes will be on borrowed time next season unless he can work out how to actually play a controlled attacking game. Which I don't very much he can.

Thought he had learned and changed a bit from his first spell when he arrived last season, but has shown this season that he hasn't at all and at his age he never will.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

If we roll the dice, then I'll no qualms. How we do will depend a lot on the players we bring in. Whoever is manager cannot start next season with that back 4.

On that we defo agree, but also we need to bring players in with a view to actually playing them, and coaching improvement in them, too.

todays performance has actually swung me. I honestly thought at worst we would draw today, but to lose that 3-1 and perform like that was dirge. The tactics have been dire for a while.

It would be a shame to end on that note but i'm not sure that Moyes style aligns with the clubs future ambitions, i fear he joined us a few years too late and the hunger doesn't seem to be there anymore.

I dont like the narrative he keeps playing about talking about how wonderfully we have done to be safe so early, when you consider we are only 1 point above what we ended with last season. Thats really negative and i dont buy it.

If there is a good manager available I would go that way now. If there isn't i guess i would stick but i feel it could be untenable with many already turning.

I’m scared that his style and approach is aligned with the club and board’s ambitions. Kinnear’s comments were scary

Job and tarky cb
Patterson rb
Garner, kdh, rohl in the middle
George and dibiling on wings.

I didn’t think I’d be saying this but I’ve had enough of him already.

You find yourself constantly looking over at the bench to see if he’s going to make a change and attack the game. It doesn’t come. Then when he does put someone on it’s either too late or the wrong player.

His refusal to give player like Alcaraz and Dibling minutes is a joke.

He’ll never ever change. He shouldn’t be leading us into next season as this season has been nothing other than mediocre.

….not having Europe might just be a plus. Also, I’d imagine a few more Saturday 3pm kick-offs. Of course much depends on the transfer window.

We’ll be nailed on for loads of Monday night fixtures and play about the same amount of Saturday 3pm’s.

 

[Swartzy]

No excuses really, you could maybe forgive the Derby but to then lose late at West Ham, blow a 3-1 lead against City, blow a lead twice at Palace then do it again today is one game too far

Thanks for 18 months Davey but do us all a favour and stand down

It was the whole West Ham scenario that done me, should have never opened his mouth that wkend.
he threw away that game on the Friday, and than finished it off with his post match Soucek love in.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Would always have been pro Moyes and was delighted to see him back and do well but the last couple of months have shown it's time for something different, Europe was there for us and we completely blew it with some woeful performances and woeful defending

I though best man to bring back to steady the ship. The premiership is ruthless and we needed him. He did the job he was brought into do.

Very unsure if he is the man to bring the club forward now. Blew a fantastic opportunity for europe over last month.

 

[dannyboy]

Absolutely. The idea we have new players barely play like Dibling and Rohl this season is not an option.

Well said. My main issue is being a football fan is about hope and hoping to see a new dawn of exciting and aggressive football telling the other teams we're here to take you on as we're a big club and proud of our status but with Moyes it's always has a negative feel to everything like we should be grateful just to be in the division competing against such amazing sides

Nobody wants to sign for us, stop relying on the transfer window. We're an old fashioned club with a dinosaur of a manager going nowhere
