But You're judging Moyes on 3 or 4 seasons 20 years ago! We qualified for Europe 4 times in 11 years!
And you want him to stay because of that?

Benitez was winning CLs at the same time.

Yeah, but Benitez was managing a much richer team with a bigger budget. It’s comparing apples with oranges.

Guys, there is nothing you can say. The goalpost will be moved every time. An excuse will be made every time.

It’s like a cult at this point.

 

[matty1878]

But not to Everton. Because we're not interested

Sunderland is unique as he had little input on transfers. They would sign an inferior player in a purportedly higher cost as they had very low wages and the payment terms were more favorable. Martin Short had pulled the plug and was selling the team.

The other teams are fairer criticism. But West Ham should also be contextualised for fairness. He spent several seasons with a low net spend and then they had their big spend season where they got Paqueta, etc, but the signings were not really that successful overall. At the end of the day though, they build a good squad that achieved high finishes and won a trophy. That’s pretty much as good as they can expect.

How well he did there is underlined by their subsequent underperformance despite actually spending more money.

Did Moyes feed the 5000 with a loaf of bread and a box Captain Birdseye fish fingers as well?

The same style of football?

Arsenal have became a dour side that depends on set pieces. It’s very much a Moyes/Mourinho type approach.

get on topic!

case in point

Again, an empty phrase with no detail. Arsenal are about to win the league playing essentially the same style of football.

Put the crack pipe down. There are some wild takes on this forum but thats up there.

Arsenal play some superb football, Arteta has them doing all the ugly stuff.

We cant put 3-4 quick passes together without the ball bouncing of someones shin and look lost when we have to attack.

Hahaha what?! Little input on transfers at Sunderland?!

Gibson. Anichebe. Pienaar. Even likes of McNair, Love and Januzaj who he knew from Man Utd. Just a coincidence?

They also had a record transfer that summer. A decade in the Prem an before a ball was kicked he declared it would be a miracle if he kept them up.

You remind me of that Statto/Sigurdsson fella on Twitter.

I know, but the best Moyes team play good stuff too. But there is still a kind of solidity and conservatism that is important to these approaches.

What do you mean?
