2025/26 David Moyes

[Toffeepot]

Dyche is a good defensive manager. He knows what you need to be a Premier League centre half.

Playing 9 of your 10 outfield players as defenders does not make you an expert on central defenders

That’s the thing. JOB is nowhere near as rapid as Branthwaite. I hope he continues to develop and eventually establishes himself in the centre of defence, but he doesn’t bring what Branthwaite does.

I’m of the opinion that O’Brien can still be a very good CB for us. 3 clean sheets from his 6 games starting at CB this season and his performance in that Bournemouth away match was the best game any of our centre backs have had this season - recovery pace, aggression, strength and composure.

O’Brien should have been the first-choice CB for us as soon as Branthwaite got injured. I think we’d be looking forward to european football next season if so.

We’re down the bottom of every attacking metric. We will be next season because that’s how he plays. Percentages, conservative, safety first.

He won’t change the way he plays if we get more quality. We might win more games as quality will tip those fine margins for us more often. It’ll be dull as hell to watch.

It’s just what he is, hasn’t changed in the slightest since he was last here.

Crazy to think there’s nobody in world football we could get that would do a better job. Course there is.

 

[Toffeepot]

Literally says he does NOT understand the frustration of the fans. No ambiguity.

Still ranking the season against the target set in August, instead of ranking it against what was possible in March.

Shocking thing to say that. At least lie and say “yes I’m frustrated too etc etc”. Instead, effectively saying we should be thankful we aren’t relegated.

The 'before I got here' phase of the relationship is well underway now. He needs to go

 

[Zeke]

We need more players…I’m sorry…you don’t play the ones we have David….you don’t rotate and just stick with the same square pegs in round holes…delusional!

He did run out of ideas, but he did do a pretty good job here overall. And at Burnley he showed he can really drill a side well.

 

[kenada_blue]

Made 3 subs in the 84th minute as if a point depended on something

First time he's probably used all 5 subs all season too

 

[Blue peter]

We finished 13th, pretty much where we came last year and year before that.

We gained one extra point compared to last season…and we spent 140 million.

This isn’t stability its stagnation

Young managers have won Palace cups, got Sunderland, Brighton and Bournemouth europe.

Yet we will give Moyes another 12 months!

What is the point of this club…as its not to win trophies or progress

Great post but will fall on deaf ears with people who either don’t understand football or don’t understand numbers

He's deffo here next season but they (TFG) must know he's burnt through any credit he had in the bank from last season.

There is a scenario where we're looking for a new manager 2-3 months into the new season and all the available candidates have moved in the summer.

A bad start to the season and the fans will turn on him and the team. If the empty ground last week wasn't a wake up call, it should've been.

Am I the only one who thinks we'll be fighting relegation if he stays?

Another winter of discontent approaching - after so many previous ones we never learn.

 

[Toffeepot]

No, he will be here til the real fans who go the match want him out, not too many of them on these internet forums.

Bravo a small unambitious mindset for an unambitious club

 

[ToffeeTim]

Still being delusional, and banging on about relegation battles, just feck off will you.

We didn't force their keeper into a save until deep into injury time

Those are indeed delusional comments
