Start bombardin TFG as it’s not happening

It's not, you're right about that unfortunately, the question should be "why not?".

Absolute genius to sit in and soak up pressure at 1-0 knowing we're utterly incapable of keeping a clean sheet with that shambolic back 4. Great stuff.

I feckin' HATE the way we do that when we go ahead! I like Moyes as a person, grateful for steadying us but Jaysus, please save us from another season of this safety first sh*the!!!!

 

[james2805]

Not really. We let it slip a long time ago by not winning our games when it mattered and when we could kick on - beating Chelsea amazingly and then appearing like our pants are pre-shitted the next 5 (out of 6) games (one against a direct competitor for Europe, one against a team fighting to not get relegated and the RS), this one included, is where we failed badly.

We'll probably gift Tottingham a few points too, why not?

We was completely in the race for various European competitions until Liverpool onwards where we kept dropping points late on.

Wouldn't say a long time ago. Its very recently that we truly fumbled the bag.

we need to know what TFG plans are

The stench of mediocrity runs through the club and it starts with Moyes. No standards, no ambition and the players know it. Keep Moyes and you look forward to more of the same next season. Making up the numbers. We will not attract top talent with Moyes in charge.

Something arse chin mentioned a couple of times in comms is that Moyes was unable to attract top players without Europe last summer. Believable, but it sounds like a bit of gaslighting from the white haired one.

That certainly doesn't sound like the Moyes who attracted Howard, Lescott, Yobo, Cahill and Johnson 'without Europe' back in the day. They signed before campaigns that we weren't in Europe for.

If he's lost that shine (which I attribute to age and old school values) then it's time to move aside. Perhaps a bloke like 44 year-old Seb Hoeness, who's done a good job at Stuttgart. Very nice team to watch mostly, and Ermedin Demirovic (12G) would surely follow effortlessly as competition for the chuckle brothers up front.

Unlike us, they're in the UCL, but if the Friedkins are as ambitious as they're made out to be, then something big needs to happen before Bournemouth (sodding, ruddy who?!) become a more attractive prospect than us, if they aren't already.

The only Europe that team are interested in is a fortnight in Benidorm on the beach.
my MoM is Merlin Rohl because he scored. The rest were bad, so bad.

Mate, I am laughing because it’s true; they looked thoroughly disinterested from start to finish, with woeful decision making threw in.

I am struggling for a MOTM choice because we’re choosing from a very low standard: slow, gutless football and movement.

What was O’Brien doing for their second? The third, they’re all to blame.

It was really sad. He shouldn't have been out in that position. Chasing a crucial game is not the time for a fond farewell. Should've given him a post-season testimonial for that purpose.

 

[Alex Young`s Cat]

Hes been doing that for years, he should have gone years ago, ro much sentimental crap at this club.

Agreed. Seamus was a great player and is a fantastic person but even he knows that there is no room for sentimentality. Football is a results business and the last 6 games have been relegation form. I am sure Davy is a good guy but if he is still here at the end of the season then it's more of the same next season. Other teams won't stand still, but wth Moyes we will

 

[Titus Shambles]

Disappointed Dibling isn’t a man of the match option, as by default he’s the only one whose reputation wasn’t tarnished by that performance.

That lad is quickly becoming the bit-part answer to a pub quiz question everyone forgets: "name the top 5 most expensive signings"

 

[blueblue]

If we are to improve as a team we need players playing in positions they are used to and comfortable in and above all we have to bring some ewal pace into the team.

This means two full backs that can attack and defend and some genuine pace on the wings.

It is too comfortable to defend against us .

Don't think they're going to tell us Matty, they've not exactly been forthcoming.

 

[mistuhp]

The goals we did score would've also seen us over the line if we weren't leaking like Henry's bucket.

But what if we did the statistically impossible and scored just about every single chance?

 

[T LEAFE]

Can we hang on to a point?

Nope

In fairness, he has been pretending to be a premier league footballer for the last 3 years, so...

(wonder if Marcel Marceau can play right back?!?)
