[Poor language removed] off moyes close the door on your way out

 

[blue to the bone]

Not defending Moyes but players aren’t blameless either, they claim to have wanted Europe but they have collectively been poor the past few games

Absolutely. A collective effort.
Since Chelsea no one has stood up.
Shameful.

 

[Rita_Poon]

by the way. Great ball by George.

comms said our best cross of the entire game

tarks and picford almost score an og between them.

+6 official.

Who is today's scapegoat?

 

[b-rad]

He's

He's off next season

Wouldn’t blame him

 

[DualityNSNO]

I think a collective beating round the head with successive late goals scored has a few punch drunk.

True.

If only we had been allowed to make 5 substitutions per game and used them to put on some fresh legs, just like the other 19 teams do most of the time, maybe it would be different.

dark days when our hope of glory is Dwight McNeil on a late sub.

on the upside...I saw Seamus make his debut vs Benfica in the Europa league and I got to witness his last appearance. The most valid pound for pound 60k purchase of my lifetime.

Bittersweet if we take the L here.

6 mins added time

 

[Verbal Kint]

He's

He's off next season

That's fine by me

 

[Saint Domingo]

This team is an absolute shambles, nothing abo it them. They’ve choked on Europe when it was almost impossible not to qualify and they’ve managed it

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

I did, with this squad and manager we're definitely not and it shows. Both have fixes.

Earlier I believed for a bit but the instant "we have to look at other teams' results" was mentioned I knew it was a long shot at best.

I can't imagine Tarks and Keane against tricky European opponents. Its a mercy not to see it.

We're constantly being told, by Moyes himself and by his supporters on this forum, that players need to earn their place in the team. If that's true, then surely it must also be the case that performing poorly in the team results in players being dropped and yet that never happens. The players have been allowed to drop their levels and remain in the team. That is a failure of management.

 

[Toffeepot]

Moyes better not get a contract extension, its not deserved

 

[LinekersLegs]

I agree with Ijjy

 

[Ragnar]

How does Ndiaye play full 90s every week and have no form?

Cause Moyes is absolutely petrified to bring on our summer signing that cost £40m, that everyone in football said is a talent.
