2025/26 David Moyes

[Ivo]

Bit of a willy you.

And you too good sir.

 

[summerisle]

In Moyes we rust.

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

Whoever it is I’m sure they’ll be crap and widely backed by some because they aren’t Moyes

 

[Drico]

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

He was kept on because the owners had no plan, were totally unprepared, and needed somebody - anybody - to steer the ship they didn't even bother turning up to see.

I have little time for Moyes, a man of the past. But the owners are the real problem. Until they come up with an actual vision, show some ambition, and demonstrate genuine competence, then pointing at a shiny new stadium and swooning over Jack Grealish's calves will be the extent of their impact.

Not competent enough for me

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

Moyes has his favourites and always will. Garner, Keane, O’Brien. Square pegs for round holes because he won’t play Alcaraz or Dibling.

Good job we didn’t waste ~£60m on them and had every position well stocked.

My view hasn't changed. He's a very limited manager but he have a poor squad so I wouldn't change it at the moment. If we can get 2 attacking full backs and a half decent forward in, then he can get us up to 12th and then leave.

 

[Thomasc]

Another season that we don’t have any goals in the team again.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

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.

I think a couple of wins turn this around very quickly

Next two are going to be big big games

 

[BigBeto1]

There clearly being instructed to play it out but there is nobody in the middle to receive it and the full backs aren’t technically good enough for it. We are trying to play a way our players can’t. It’s not fully on Moyes, the squad is a shambles. But he needs to be flexible and reactive

 

[hallamblue]

Another season that we don’t have any goals in the team again.

Teams that can't score end up in trouble

 

[bullybeef]

A bench featuring Moyes, McKinley and Irving remind me of the USA being run by auld senile Joe.

 

[davek]

I thought at HT we'd at least make this a 1 goal game. We just did the predictable and we made that Spurs team look like they could win the PL.

That was SPURS everyone: they looked in command for pretty much 80% of that game.

 

[sd_1992]

Joyless competence has a short sell-by date.

Those fans of Sunderland, Bournemouth, Palace etc must really be craving the mid table mediocrity that managers like Moyes promise.

Imagine wanting to progress and actually hiring progressive managers.

Season has been abject so far from a favourable fixture list on the whole. Even today playing at home to a Spurs team with a long injury list after playing away in Europe on Wednesday and being outplayed at Monaco. Palace we were outplayed and got lucky and they'd played away in Europe on the Thursday. Outplayed by Brighton but they couldn't score. Out the cup to Wolves who have 2 points in the league. Also everyone else knows how to beat Liverpool now and we just sit off them and lose the game in the first 30 minutes.

I didn't mind Moyes coming in last season and getting this season, but he has to show something. Whether it's a cup run or get near the European places. Take away 4 points from the Brighton and Palace wins and we'd be right down the bottom. It's only Wolves where we deserved to win and were hanging on there.
