2025/26 David Moyes

[Lanolin]

No? Before they equalised we were smashing their back door in IMO.

Didn’t see it that way at all to be honest, how many proper chances did we have?

 

[Infernus]

Look, Nuno spent 2 days with West Ham and had them set up better than Moyes did us.

That should tell you all you need to know.

The feller's done and dusted.

They got absolutely battered Dave, and you know it! Smash and grab with their only chance of the game. We should have been 4-0 up by then. If Moyes set up against them like they did tonight you'd be trolling away, negative, dinosaur etc. You used to be so much better at this

 

[MACCA75]

We don’t have pace, we don’t have overlapping full backs, and we don’t have a striker that’s going to lash in a 20 yarder.

All our open play goals are going to have to be very well worked this season, no easy ones that other teams get utilising any of the above.

You watched a different game to me.

We battered no one tonight. We had the first half but we were too gummy to exploit it. Then Nuno saw what to do at HT and it was a different game. They were a class above us going forward.

Those are the awkward facts.

 

[Stoffee]

Moyes has us in a vastly superior position to the last few years...night and day manager to that fraud dyche.

However he has the same traits as his first spell that will really annoy me. He has favourites, he too slow to make changes and when he does it will generally be conservative.

 

[WilliamBoo]

From 15 to 40 minutes into the second half, he routinely takes a nap. Then he urges to do something but it's too late

 

[Thomasc]

Probably an easy team to work out for other PL managers.

It’s all about Grealish, KDH and Ndiaye.

If they aren’t producing there’s no plan B obviously.

Feels like we're getting into good areas but we rarely look like actually scoring. Whichever striker plays doesn't matter - they're both so bad.

My worry is that Moyes has settled on his best XI but it needs looking at quickly. Likely means dropping KDH deeper and getting either Alcaraz or Dibling on from the start. Especially in games like tonight.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

any gripes about the squad is his own making given he spearheaded recruitment and chose not to sign a right back.

moyes needs to make subs early
its lazy changing beto for barry

 

[Roader]

Blaming Moyes is spot on. Unable to hit the target week after week it's his job to sort it out. Clearly he's not succeeding and we should be looking elsewhere.

 

[Efcjake]

What year was it when his eyebrows deserted him?

Hate to say it, but since Wolves in the PL away that's not working. Our wide plays is slow and predictable.

I'd be putting Grealish in a number 10 role and Ild link him up with Alcaraz who can do some damage around the box when stuff pops up.

 

[ford_uk]

Think we've been sussed - will be an interesting next few games.

We've been well worked out.

Nuno took 45 minutes to figure out we had nothing to offer when we had the ball in their final third so just went for it.

We're pretty in possession but completely ineffective.
