2025/26 David Moyes

[MikeH72]

I'm sorry you've lost me. Why would that be the case?

You just said this cup is a waste of time and we need to focus on “actual football” (meaning the league). What exactly is it you’re expecting us to do in the league?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Blob on.

The squad is still more than fine. Its Moyes who is losing my trust..

The squad players tonight were really bad !

 

[Saint Domingo]

Massive rotation just signals that the club doesn’t care about the cup. That in some way must transmit to the players, on both teams as well. We are simply not good enough or professional enough to be rotating players.

 

[Marius57]

Would love to see the reaction tonight if Grealish or Ndiaye went off injured in the 20th minute.

don’t you start now as well.

A month of McNeil would be a delight for us

I'm not calling for his head because we are 10th. I'm saying he should be fired because he didn't take the match seriously with his team selection.

But that’s daft mate come on now, he gave game time to the likes of Dibling and Alcatraz, he wasn’t deliberately tanking the cup, he’ll have been as annoyed as the rest of us

Any manager who isn't trying everything they can to win something isn't the right person in charge. If our best team loses, so be it. But resting all our best players and losing is just unacceptable.

Tim you are one of my favourite people on here. Nobody flaps like you do, it warms my soul

 

[davek]

Is he gone in the summer?

He better had be.

I'd sack him now for that arrogance tonight.

 

[Lanolin]

When did we finish 12th


Can’t believe people are settling for 10th- 12th, quite sad really.

I do apologise for incorrectly thinking we finished 12th rather than 13th last season, won’t happen again coach.

 

[Milkman]

You just said this cup is a waste of time and we need to focus on “actual football” (meaning the league). What exactly is it you’re expecting us to do in the league?

Are you purposely ignoring the bit about the FA Cup?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Where's the hypocrisy?

Last few seasons under Dyche and others you would call for them to tank cup ties for the league, now you’re criticising Moyes for not attempting to win one so what is it? Do you want to win a trophy or not?

 

[ToffeeTim]

They aren't our best options. Ndiaye and Grealish are on another level. Probably multiple levels above Dibling and Alcaraz.

He picked a team I didn't believe had much chance of winning. Our squad players are not good enough to start regularly. 1 or 2 changes is fine and par for the course. 7 is way too many.

I'm not calling for his head because we are 10th. I'm saying he should be fired because he didn't take the match seriously with his team selection.

Have any managers ever been sacked due to the Carabao Cup? Probably not.

He said word for word in the programme notes for the Mansfield game: “Being a Premier League club has to be our priority” and even goes on to talk about the broadcasting revenue which helps us to keep our best players and bring better players to the club. He’s clearly been told by the Friedkins to focus on the League.

It’s a real shame about tonight but it will be the League games that will decide what happens in the future with Moyes.

Can only agree.
The best team at his disposal should have started tonight.
Why did he not take this trophy seriously?
Wolves did and teams far better than us do every year.
Anyway. one cup gone in late summer

 

[Rita_Poon]

It looks stupid.

Like finding the shroud of Turin.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Did none of the new or fringe guys any favours playing them all together. Dibling should get minutes when grealish and kdh are pulling the strings. Mcneil (who i can't stand) should only come on for a tiring Grealish when ndiaye is still on etc.
Coleman/mcneil on left with o'brian/dibbling on right...we lost as soon as it began.
