2025/26 David Moyes

We look and perform like an organised team which outperforms the sum of its parts.

In the end, its not enough at the sharp end of the league as we are missing not only players that can do something different but the 2nd tier players dont look ready due to the manager prioritising saftey in his team selection each week.

We need a very good summer transfer window and with no European football then we dont 5CBs, no full backs of exception and a proper playmaker in CM with a proper striker alternative.
 
He doesn't really want to play youth though. He prefers older proven players. I think that is a fair assessment. Not saying he never does or has but definitely prefers older players.
That’s fair enough. But usually when he has older players it’s because they’ve proven themselves.

And people are talking about villa, but look at their lineup:

Emiliano Martínez (GK) — 33

Matty Cash (RB) — 28

Ezri Konsa (CB) — 28

Victor Lindelöf (CB) — 31

Lucas Digne (LB) — 32

Youri Tielemans (CM) — 29 (Goalscorer)

John McGinn (CM) — 31

Emiliano Buendía (AM) — 29 (Goalscorer)

Morgan Rogers (LW) — 23 (Goalscorer)

Pau Torres (CB/LB role) — 29

Ollie Watkins (ST) — 30

I think most managers have a preference for experience.

You could have played Rooney and carragher for villa today and they would have still won easily against fried burger
 
There are only a few clubs who can reliably access managers of that quality. The likes of Bayern, Barca, Madrid, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, etc.

We aren’t seen as being in the bracket.
We’re paying your hero a massive, elite manager sized wage.

Pack in talking us down like Moyes ffs, if TFG had any ambition we could get any quality manager in world football.
