Distin

[nsno-chris]

What??!

Moyes got it wrong tactically but you're blaming a shocking individual error by Distin on Moyes and Gueye???

Moyes bottled it, end of. If he would have went for it then the mistake wouldn't have happend

Oh right, but that Stones, he's rubbish.

Stones will be a quality centre back; he needs to pack on a bit of beef. However; coming into the second half of the season when your pushing for CL (and the league considering we are still in touching distance) you play your best team, and Distin and Jags have a tremendous partnership.

Do you find it hard to trust the majority of the squad who haven't done much against Liverpool as well? Or just Distin?

Just the ones that play through balls to Saurez.

We didn't bother to go at them at all in the second half of that semi and deserved to lose

Sound lad

Telling you. Suarez wouldn't get a sniff.

It would be like he's playing for Villa.

I don't trust that Coutinho either mate, proper Joey Essex hairdo

I agree, but Distin still made a terrible individual error against them.

So you don't trust him because of one mistake? a mistake that could have been avoided if the manager had a pair of balls and put RS on the back foot instead of trying absorb and contain?

That would have required Moyes not to be Moyes. We didnt go for it even in the Hodgson derby when they were probably at their lowest ebb.

That the one we won 2-0? With Yakubu doing runs from the halfway line and Heitinga pressing their centrebacks. I know everyone hates Moyes apparently now but some of the revisionism is atrocious. Many times against Liverpool we just had worse players. In the last few years there were times Moyes bottled it but there were times where he was let down by individual error and refereeing decisions. Remember had it not been for terrible refereeing we would have won 2 out of the last three at Anfield. Had it not been for Distin we could well have won the semi making it two knockout wins in a row. Ifs and buts but ultimately Martinez was let down by the same thing at Goodison. Bad defending. Had we switched on at set pieces Martinez would have a debut derby win and we'd be three points ahead. Yet no one says that Martinez made us sit back after we'd gone 3-2 up (which we did). Moyes could be playing the best football in the world yet someone would still call it hoofball. At times under Moyes our play was compared to Arsenals, we'd created the most chances in Europe yet if you listen to some it's like we had ten years of percentage long ball. Ridiculous

I find it hard to yes. Everytime he gets the ball against them i have flashbacks about the semi final and just hope he doesn't do something similar again. IMO giving away that needless foul against them was nearly as bad.

Remember when we played Villa in 07-08 at home and Jags passed it back to Ashley Young in front of the St End?

I've never trusted him against Villa since, when we play them in a few weeks i'd play Stones & Dizzy

Play Alcaraz and Distin for Villa mate

Suarez is first up. Let Alcaraz taunt him with ball control and Jags for pace.

I'm lost for words; over the years I've seen many a mistake, but its part of football. Some they go for you, others they go against you.

Just thank Kevin Brock

Not quite as memorable, as it wasn't one of our best chances of a trophy in the last 18 years and it wasn't against Liverpool.

Alcaraz is class mate

Actually, if we had won that game we would of made top4 and got loads more money and bought lotsa better players and won loads of trophies with them better players so that mistake cost us our best chance to win trophies.

Funny how you don't question Jags' mistake for the exact same reasoning you wouldn't play Distin
