2025/26 David Moyes


666 the number of the beast

And that beast is David Moyes

What I saw last night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw, on my own stream
Were they reflections of my disgust for Mick Keane, staring back at me?
'Cause in my dreams, he's always there
That gobshite Keane twists my mind and brings me to despair

YYYEAEEHHHAHHH!!

I've scrutinized Moyes significantly this season but the last two games he's accomplished what his mission as a manager is and thats to get positive results. For me I just wanted him to be less rigid in his tactics which he was willing to make alterations for the Fulham match , my only major gripe for yesterday's mirthful development was starting Seamus which was a flawed move. Anyway need to continue with this momentum
 

Didn’t Glasner lose a load of games at the start of last season and had Palace in the relegation zone with fans from other teams calling for him to be fired? Palace held firm and were rewarded. Managers need time, let’s see how far Moyes can take us, if he hits a ceiling I’m sure the Friedkins will get someone else in but if you need a manager to take a team from scrapping at the bottom into Europe then Moyes has a proven pedigree for that.

He also didn’t inherit Henderson Mitchell Guehi Andersen Munoz Wharton Lerma Eze Olise Mateta. That’s almost a very good first 11 ready made at the club. He’s then been able to sell Olise and Eze for mega money to fund more transfers.

How many of the squad Moyes picked up last season get in that line up? Pickford, Branthwaite maybe (who’s injured). That’s it. So he’s starting from a quality base way below what Glasner picked up (even though I think Glasner is a very good manager)
He's got a negative net spend of -£37m, since he's been there and he's definitely improved a number of those players that you have listed.
 
Ndiaye is a far bigger asset than either of those two mate. He is the only player of ours that gets genuine praise from others outside of the club, he is seriously rated by a lot of people/pundits and other clubs. We need to tie him down and make him want too stay as the vultures will come for him, maybe not in January but definitely if he has a decent World Cup.
No idea what the relevance of that is.

This is his cup final line up.

Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Sarr, Eze, Mateta.

The majority of those players he inherited. Eze went for 70 mill, Wharton has had interest from Real Madrid, Guehi was going for 40 mill with one year left on his deal to Liverpool. Mateta could be sold for a substantial fee, ditto Sarr and Munoz.

Moyes inherited a squad with Pickford and Branthwaite its only real assets. He’s then had to spend a window getting in some quality to even get remotely close to what Palace had.

So yeah the base they were building from is completely different. Glasner inherited Olise and Eze on the flanks, Moyes had Harrison McNeil and Lindstrom once Ndiaye was crocked.
Agree about Ndiaye. Saint - You're conveniently ignoring the massive improvement that Glasner has achieved with some of those players, who were simply not as highly rated as you are now portraying. Mateta for instance was a bit part player with 3 goals in 24 games before Glasner took over. Then he scored 21 goals in 35 games under Glasner. That's great coaching.

I’m not saying Glasner isn’t a good manager, he is. But big oil’s argument was that Moyes should be turning this around quicker and cited Glasner as same sample because he won the cup with Palace. You look at the squad he inherited though and even though he’s improved a load of the players there was undoubted top quality in Guehi Wharton Eze Olise. There was then very solid players around them. Moyes walked in and had Ndiaye Pickford and Branthwaite and at least of those have been injured the majority of the time he’s been here. He’s had to start from a lower base than Glasner did. I’m not decrying Glasner though, very good manager.
 

A lot of players look very much improved under Moyes. Good coaches make players better. Quite why some people are so desperate to play down the progress is a bit odd.
One reason might be the poor run we were on just a few weeks ago that ended with a pathetic show in a 0-3 defeat at home to a not so great Spurs team. We have managed a couple of wins in a row but we know that this team can just as easily step back and start dropping points against poor sides and get knocked out of the cup by a team we should be beating.
