2025/26 David Moyes

[bullybeef]

The only defence he can have is that he doesn’t have a striker who can put the ball in the bleedin net.

But wasn’t he in charge of recruitment during the summer?

 

[MikeH72]

Ah well, what short term firefighters are about to get us safe this year to be sacked in December 2026?

 

[Clarky cat]

His use/ lack of use of substitutions will always absolutely baffle me. I suppose I should be thankful Tony Hibbert wasn’t on the bench today.

 

[Ivo]

No point in blaming the manager. Its the owners who left us with the worst forward line in the league and utterly toothless

He doesn't have to play them. If he had no input in them signing he can pick others. Even if they're not forwards.

 

[steven]

Baffling that he isn’t using Alcaraz more, changed the game v Palace and gets five minutes here.

Spoke to a West ham fan today. I said I'd bet you'd take Moyes back now wouldn't you, quite surprised he said no. The football under him was dreadful, and he'd rather get relegated than have him back.

It isn’t difficult to see why fanbases tire of him very quickly.

 

[sladen90]

This was from an actual West ham fan, not somebody (you) who's watched them a few times. Just repeating what he told me. Strange you think that's weird.

Bit of a willy you.

 

[FrannyJeffersLeftEar]

He hasn't changed much.

 

[Drico]

Joyless competence has a short sell-by date.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I always felt that Moyes was here to be a steady hand to consolidate our premier league status in the new stadium before the next manager could then kick us on

I still think that to be honest

Last season was a good start in that regard

This season he’s hitting a sticky patch

Needs to get something from Sunderland and Fulham now otherwise our position gets very precarious and the grumbles will get louder

 

[Timbucktoo]

Last time at home we went in one nil behind and he made the changes at half time to get us on the front foot right from the restart. Today we`re 2 behind but we keep going another 20 minutes before he changes something. What was he expecting to happen.

 

[davek]

He needs to drop tarkowski for o brien and put garner or coleman right back. Dewsbury hall was awful so alcaraz needs to come in.

Having o brien at right back sets a stall early for slow ponderous play and there is no benefit to it because he doesnt even win that many headers.

The tactics need to change too, its way too predictable.

Grealish and Ndiaye getting doubled and trebled up on all season and teams continue to do it and nullify us because they know we dont have a manager who'll use the space vacated by them to our advantage.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

He doesn't have to play them. If he had no input in them signing he can pick others. Even if they're not forwards.

I agree. He should do exactly that. We still shouldn't be in this position with a league one level set of strikers.

He better get moving because he is going to leave us in the same position as he took over us in if today is repeated.

Posted other day we're lucky to be on 11 points. We've nicked a few this season and the problem with that is you cant keep doing it.
Havent played well this season.
Needed a forward and two fullbacks. Not for next season or the season after. Needed them for the now.
Also hasnt a clue how to play Alcaraz.
