2025/26 David Moyes

[Roger Milla]

Another masterclass

 

[davek]

West Ham get Nuno in and look a million times better straight off the bat.

Wasn't it down to the size of his entourage that Moshiri walked away from a deal for him here?

FFS.

 

[maccavennie]

We clearly arent as good as we all thought.

Grealish and Indy look flashy, but they are just less greased up Traores.

Our fullbacks would struggle for games in League 29 and dont even get me started on our Strikers.

League 29

Too true ffs

You'd have to tell me why Alacaraz wouldn't work as a false nine...

Easy enough saying it like.

He looks after the ball worse than any attacking midfielder we've had in the last few years barring Doucoure. I couldn't think of many players worse suited to that role.

Ndiaye could maybe do it, maybe.

Alcaraz doesn't have the guile, the intelligence or the quality to play that role.

He's a ball carrier in transitions, that's about it.

 

[Daytripper]

The official post match interviews are a waste of time. We could get beat 3-0 and they would say something like “ On to the positives and it was a good warm up for the players before kick off and a debut for our third kit”.

 

[davek]

We absolutely did not batter West Ham tonight I'm sorry.

Ha ha.

I've heard that a few times here from others.

They must have been watching another game.


We battered no one, and we haven't since we had Wolves on the rack in the PL game a month ago.

 

[raiseyoureyebrow4thewin!]

La Liga he just ran in behind defenders and rattled a few in.

I cant see him getting that high line here.

yeh that was the only reason beto was scoring last season

this season esp at home both Barry and beto will struggle

they both seem to suit us more away with a low block

Naismith played it - and well.

 

[RomanReigns]

When do we just accept that we are reverting back to the dyche era of drawing games to safety

 

[Lanolin]

Honestly have no idea how anyone could say we did with a straight face. Thought they looked far more likely to win it than we did.

Naismith was a clever, underrated player with a far, far better football brain than Alcaraz, but nothing like the physical tools

 

[Gilbert..]

But early to write Barry off. He’s barely through the door. All of these players need time to get used to the environment.

Its a fair enough point but its not shy of £50m for both. 50mill and we just seem to be swapping them over hoping one might do better than the other.
Watched that igor jesus for forest last week away at betis. 10m from botafogo and gotta be honest he looked better than both.
More than happy to give Barry time. But i do wish just once we'd sign a striker who looks ready to go.

That’s not how discourse works. You made the claim, it’s up to you to show your working out.

Naisy?
