2025/26 David Moyes

[Zatara]

Can’t just discount the fixture v United as a ‘crazy game’. Most of these teams getting results at so called big grounds will be smash and grab, you just see the result on match of the day but none of these mid table teams are going to the Etihad Stamford Bridge or the Emirates and dominating those teams with front foot football for 90 mins.

There’s been times under Moyes we’ve gone to top teams and played very well but not got a result because of some bad luck (e.g Vaughan missing a chance to go 3-1 up at the emirates after Pienaar had chipped the keeper and then Rosicky deflects one off Lucas Neil in the last minute). They’re not caveated though are they, they’re just lumped in with all the other times he didn’t win.

You’re either judging it on performances or results, but you can’t just discount positive results that don’t suit the narrative.

Nah your right we should discount every game that’s gone before and judge him purely on the metrics you have set up, seems logical.

Just look at their posting history

Today has the potential to be a really significant game… if we come away with a victory it would be a real statement, we’d leapfrog Chelsea and get yet another monkey off our back.

This is the kind of game Moyes would bottle in years gone by…

A draw would be a decent achievement but as always, hoping for a win.

My favourite was the Bournemouth game. A great away win at a ground we just don't get results and this was his response....

"Bournemouth were shockingly bad, we made hard work of that"

As you say non of our wins count. Be a different reply under Dyche.

Last season he was celebrating like we’d just lifted the World Cup after our 0-0 draws against Arsenal and Chelsea, no mention of them being in Europe though.

All on Moyes to show he can even attempt to get a result away against a so-called big club.

Old Trafford was a crazy game, backs to the wall. Brilliant but more like a non league team getting a result in the 3rd Round of the Cup.

Key will be how he sets up.

Then in a month's time how he gets us a full back or two plus a starting striker.

Until then jury is definitely out surely?

So just so I’ve got this right:

Beat an average team not in Europe = they’re rubbish

Beat a good team in Europe = they’re in Europe

Beat a good team not in Europe = it was a crazy game

Think that’s every asterisk covered.

Not sure about this but he is definitely a massive cockwomble.

Hope that helps

They haven't been in very good shape recently. It's theoretically a great time for Moyes to flourish his record there a little bit

I think recently against Bournemouth, United and Forest we went into the game with a good mentality and will to get a positive result and let's hope we will have it as well today.

Doesn’t finishing fourth on 61 points simply mean the league itself was much more competitive than in the 72 point season?

To most sane humans … yes
