2025/26 David Moyes

[matty1878]

Not yet Matt but I think he will deffo go at the end of the season. If the club has ambition, which I think our new overlords do,then he ain't he man. To an extent he has settled the ship which is what he was brought in for,but as for taking us further. No

we shall see mate. a good striker has us way better off

Not as much as you think, that striker is still going to be relying on poor build up play and aimless balls into chest/head height all the time. We need to find a more productive way of playing with the players we have now. Its not working atm, plan a has been found out and new players won't change that as much as you think.

I think we need a genuine 10 to link the play and of course a more efficient striker. KDH is a tidy player but looks a bit lost at times in attacking situations. We need some genuine athleticism in CM too.

Those changes can be made with what we have though, its just that Moyes won't do it because he is too stubborn and it would mean admitting he has got it wrong. KDH can move back into proper midfield or play Rohl or even Tim and play Alcaraz in the attacking position or even Dibling. I'm not saying we don't need more players we clearly do but there are some short term fixes we can make and clearly the manager is refusing to make them for whatever reason.

Were they the only two things that happened in the game? The simplistic thing is thinking that two moments are the only factors influencing the outcome of a match.

'...Were they the only two things that happened in the game?...' You ask a totally stupid question like that? Really? Did you actually watch the game? It is NOT simplistic thinking, it is understanding factors which influence the result.
At 1-0 up, Barry missed an absolute sitter. FACT! 2-0 would probably have taken the game away from them completely.
Their equalising goal WAS deflected, which took it away from Pickford, who was in position to collect the shot.

Do you really think those two incidents are down to Moyes?

I think Barry needs a few more broken heart instagram stories to tell us how hard hes trying, i bet he's got a few more Drake bangers up his sleeve.

But we all know Moyes was throwing his toys out of the pram about lack of action this summer. How do any of us know the players brought in were 3rd or 4th picks. If he said No then he gets no one. Blaming everything on Moyes is silly as we have no idea the scale of the mess this summer.

Seems to me to be a mix of incompetence.

Definitely a disconnect between manager and competent professionals here. However, in such a situation, realpolitik means the manager will take the hit if he can't make the best of what he has.

Frankly, if these were Moyes signings he's not getting the best out of them. If they weren't Moyes signings and he is benching them, then he's he's not the right manager for our competent professionals.

Whatever we think of Angus and co - not much would be my take - Moyes is on a hiding to nothing throwing his toys - such as Dibling - out of the pram.

 

[Swartzy]

All I said about the Friedkins was that Roma underperformed under their stewardship vs. before. But maybe that is changing now.

Either way, turning this club around is going to take time and patience due to Moshiri’s mismanagement.

That is why I said my head was spinning, we were obviously debating over 2 different things. regarding patience with the team build, I've said it all along.

All I saw was the questioning of the owners Ambition, if patience is given to the squad than patience should be given to the owners..

What absolute losers we are if missing a chance in the 28th bloody minute costs us a game! If it had been the 88th minute it wouldn’t even have been an excuse - a team with a strong mentality and effective style just forces another chance, simple as that.

Sunderland at home were always going to come into it, at which point we should have been able to kill them on the counter. We’re not as set up for that now as we were though, so instead they created chance after chance in that middle third of the game and we created nothing, that’s what cost us the game.

@windymiller

Was it something like 'the one and only'? Seem to remember there were two or three sussy accounts during the Benitez reign of terror.

It was something like that, that is definitely the one I was thinking of. Everyone called him Chesney if I recall correctly!

FACHT! You sound like someone else, which is interesting.

P.S. it really is simplistic thinking. You seem like a simple man, if you know what I mean.

Not scoring an easy chance that any decent Sunday League player would have scored DID potentially cost us the game. Can you not see that? Jeez, the mentality of some on here totally escapes me!

 

[Swartzy]

People are forgetting that we had other buyers! Not least Bell and Downing. Also I think it will be instructive what’s going on with Roma managers and what happens re Moyes. Then we’ll be in a better position to assess their ambitions.

We were borrowing money off some dodgy fraud to try and help fund our payments, the same bloke that we nearly agreed to sell the club to.

I dont remember Bell and Downing put in an official bid that Moshiri was going to take.

TFG - atleast took us out of that mess.
They sorted our Stadium finish
They brought in Moyes
They got rid of Thellwell ( who nobody wanted here )
They gave us money to spend in the window
Although I hate stadium naming rights, they atleast kept it local.

Time will tell with them, but that doesn't look a bad start from where we were.

You call me simple? Go play with the buses!

Compared to me, YOU are the simple man. And if your 'FACHT' is german (there are many constructions on the word, both german and in other languages, and yes, I can speak german) tyhen you are the one who is 'facht'.
