Not really seeing how that's evidence of bad man management.

I think the fear is by not acting now, if he gets off to a slow start (schedule, no Jack, not the players he wants, Branthwaite still injured), he will be sacked mid season and we will be shopping in the bargain basement for a manager to give us " stability" and we will have made zero progress in two years...
Telling in form players that they are out the team because of their height.
Neither of those players games were effected because of height.
I’d like to know who, if anyone, they were planning on for when Dyche’s contract was up. They’re coming up to two seasons of having the guy who supposedly wasn’t their 1st choice for when Dyche was due to leave. If they dont have a properly sounded out target by now, I think we can resign ourselves to several more season’s of this dour old dinosaur’s mediocrity.
He will once again have embedded himself into a position of comfortably doing nothing while claiming to have moved mountains to have us finish 7th.
David Moyes Rex tactics, he never changes does he? Doesn’t he realise yet that 90% of football matches are played on grass, not in the air.
someone give braiden graham a protein shake ASAP
need him to look as hench as adama traore in 3 months
Also in his first spell he generally finished a season well when the pressure was off.
This season as soon as he started talking up getting in europe it all went to pot.
I think most reasonable people would agree that a manager can and should adapt the starting lineup depending on the strengths of the opponents. I haven't got this book so I might be wrong, but the only game the description appears to match was in December 2004. Bolton were a load of big, physical groks so we started Duncan Ferguson instead of Osman. That, to me, is clearly absolutely fine. Telling Osman the reason is also fine. We won the game, so no problem there.
I know it's been a bad season and Moyes doesn't appear to still have it, if he ever did, and there are criticisms to be made from his first spell as well, but there's a level of revisionism here. I absolutely cannot see how treating Leon Osman, Leighton Baines or Tony Hibbert badly by not playing them was one of those criticisms.

You should go and watch a match sometime.
If Moyes had Adama Traore he’d say he wasn’t tall enough.

Welcome to mediocrity.
That piece might only refer to one specific game, but that is Moyes all over, and we know it is.

Good for you.
Enjoy next season and hope you are still at peace when we are in 18th place in November.
The story isn't even presented as relating to Moyes's man management. I'd be astonished if Osman thought it wasn't very good.
Welcome? We’ve been mediocre for thirty odd years, we should be used to it.
