2025/26 David Moyes

[bullybeef]

Still can’t believe Moyes went with so many changes last night.

Shocking and a big mistake imo.

Think he wants to protect Myko given he didn't play over intnl break with a knock, trying to manage an injury

Put Grealish in front of Aznou and he'd be fine, regardless of the physical limitations

Yep that makes sense. Not sure when he's going to give Aznou any game time at this rate!

Would love to know Moyes' thinking on that one but the signs aren't great if he's seeing him day in, day out in training and he's not got a minute yet.

Apparently had an injury so maybe still recovering from that

 

[BackRow PE6]

I expect that and I am pretty sure that we will win the game.

Just the pressure will grow on Moyes, if the results in the next 2 games don't come granted we have 2 difficult games with Spurs and Man City after the international break.

100%. If we lose it’s 3 game losing streak & much worse than a shock defeat v West Ham. Created unnecessary pressure on the team and didn’t really rest the players he wanted to in the process

That has always been as much a Moyes attitude as Kenwright one

Not always. When Moyes first arrived I remember he was fuming over not winning away at Man U, I recall him saying "I came here to win". That ambition soon got whittled down by the chairman.

Nah, his attitude changed when reality hit that’s all. He started off saying he wanted to win but realised it wasn’t doing him any favours to keep saying that over and over again when we didn’t. I’ve always been a big fan of Moyes but he’s always been very good at bigging himself up and playing down expectations to make the job he’s doing seem better.

I didn't say we would win it, but we've lost our best chance to win something as clubs take the FA cup more seriously.

and so so clubs in this one

as they progress

Also he's only ever been on the pitch in 15 top flight games (13 in Spain, 2 in Germany) so it's gonna be a big step up to go up against PL attackers. He's young and he cost us buttons so I guess it's ok to wait a while and build him up.

We'll absolutely spank Wham. All the pent up frustration will come out in free attacking football and it'll be zero points to Potter.

I'm just excited to see how Potter deals with Merlin, a potential contest for the ages. I expect each will have interesting spells in the game...

“Spank me!”

 

[Toffeelover]

To be clear I don’t think praising him for this


And giving him pelters for last night are incompatible.

I believe he is a better manager than many and therefore I expect more of him and he especially should know how much the fan base craves silverware.

Me not interested in getting silverware rather just get on with winning bleeding games that comes first.

We’ve played two more games than most of the teams on that table!
Think a more even one to demonstrate what he’s achieved would be on the first 22 games since his arrival.

What about first 7.4 games?

Why 7.4?
