2025/26 David Moyes

[blueboy72]

Err, no. We don't continue to be so. We're a much better team, under this manager than we were under the last one. And just for the record, I ws against sacking Dyche

No wonder you love this then

 

[the golden visionary]

He’s toast.

Tbf Moyes must be under pressure too. He knows the yanks will be ruthless.

He didn’t have any pressure last season and it showed.

The more Moyes gets pressured the worse his decisions become and the worse the players play and the worse the results become.

Doesn't do well under pressure, failed at the mancs, failed at Sunderland, failed in Spain.

Did reasonably well in his first go at us because he was employed by his biggest fanboy bill.

I think the games passed him by, his stoic tactics are antiquated when compared to the likes of howe, iraola, the French fella tonight, glasner. And you can guarantee there's a crop coming thru that will surpass him aswell.

I was happy when he took over as he was playing some nice attacking football, with the signings we made although we didn't get cover in important positions in thought we'd push on.

What we've got is Dwight mcneill replacing ndaiye

He’s destroying players. Confidence is everything in football yet he has players like Alcaraz, Dibling, Beto and Barry who must be bricking themselves whenever they get on the pitch because they’re scared to make a mistake…. Sometimes as a manager you gotta make a decision on a player and stick with it … trust that player for a run of 9 or 10 games with no pressure on them… Moyes isn’t doing that at all, players are playing scared and it’s glaringly obvious to see.

Spot on.

Managers like Moyes and Dyche are a dying breed.

I just don't see young players enjoying that type of football or style of management.

The new generation of managers are flexible. They respond to things in real time.

Dwight McNeil ffs, how are you looking at the bench and thinking a monoped left footed plopper who wouldn’t have got in Bradford’s reserves less than a few weeks ago was the sub to make at right wing? That sub was negative, it was “premier league experience” over form or ability, it was David Moyes’ MO.
Classy move chucking Barry under the bus in his post match interview as well, crediting Sunderland for getting better while conveniently ignoring the fact he watched on seemingly paralysed to counteract.

You don't survive for 20 years in the Premier League winning nothing by assuming responsibility.

Moyes is all about self-preservation. What's another new signing chucked under the bus when he won't play them anyway.

His time here is just about up. He'll likely stagger on until the summer, but the bigger concern is the ambition of these new owners. Do they even have a plan for the succession? Let's hope it's more ambitious and tangible than the one they had for the summer transfer window...

 

[Zatara]

"I think we've done really well"

"I dont think we're on a bad run"

Bangs on about "playing well for 25mins" and throws Barry under the bus.

He's off his nut.

 

[Swagger]

I understand the issues with Beto and Barry but hauling each one off for the other after 60-70 minutes in every game simply isn't working. Of course Barry should score but he can't be relaxed in his thought process knowing if he misses he will be hauled off again. He has scored a fair few goals in two other leagues.

I don't think Moyes has helped his form by the way he has integrated him. Same as with Alcaraz and Dibling.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Like Kenwright, he is a symbol of times past. Pay him off and move on with the times.

I'm definitely losing a bit of faith in Moyes but to compare his football to Dyche's is bizarre tbf
Tonight the problem was we shouldve won it earlier and then got rattled. The games we won under Dyche bar one or two we should have lost. He was awful

 

[Igrok]

Take his UEFA licence and send him to Mongolia…

 

[Toffeepot]

Didn't watch the post match presser and probably won't, but was he asked about mcneil over dibling/alcaraz by any chance?
Maybe more of a pre match presser question

 

[supertoffee98]

Complicated stance this- I don't want Moyes to go, I love the guy and I don't want some random tosser in charge every year when we could have this guy for a few years who genuinely loves the club.

All that said...

Moyes needs to start getting creative with these line-ups. Ndiaye is too creative to be pitted in the Number 9 so that leaves Alcaraz. Currently we're stacked in players that could play Number 10 and our best options in that position could be really unexpected, I'm talking Rohl or Garner.

That sodding international after Wolves killed our momentum and we don't seem to have got it back, not even after Palace. The Friedkins will be ruthless if we drop any further down the table I believe so now is the time to start changing it up. We need to get back to proper Moyesian rough and ready football, a bit of grit and squad of players who know where the net is rather than relying on one striker.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Scratcing my head on his lineup each and every week.

 

[heatmeiser]

Moyes seems to love ruining strikers so he can justify his beloved 4 6 0 formation

 

[Bob Elstone]

There’s zero chance Moyes is under any pressure from friedkin. The yanks were happy for dyche to plod along. It was only dyche who told them ‘I can’t take em any further’

Yeah, apparently dwight has trained really well the last couple of weeks, so deserved his chance.
Which i assume means Dibbling hasn't
