Painful

Alcaraz needs to start every week.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Moyes has to work out why he keeps sending teams out to wander about with no bite at the start, but can send them out fired up after half time.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Here's my temperature. Any hopes of Europe have to be shutdown cause frankly they are doing more harm than good. We are not deserving of that hypothetical at present and Moyes needs to factor that in his decisions.

That said I don't think we are relegation bad. All that points to the best rationalizing of weekly games is finding out things before January. Aznou needs run if just because Myko is awful, because we need to know if LB has to be dramatically addressed or not next window. Id argue the same with Barry over Beto, I don't think there's much daylight between the two but one is an investment longterm. We have to know by next summer what Barry is.

And a RB has to be brought in. If it's a stopgap till the summer or a longterm answer, it simply has to be addressed. Moyes needs to allow his youth to play through mistakes because the club needs to know what it has and in turn know what to address. But personally I can take some humility if I understand the project at hand.

We’re not relegation bad based on the last few seasons. Not sure we’ve got many more than 40pts in us this year, on this form, though.

 

[Bob Latchford]

I really want us playing Alcaraz in the 10, with KDH deeper alongside garner. Just to see how it goes

Yeah, the starting line up and the set up in general needs a rethink for sure.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Because he's from Birkenhead

 

[Bwana]

Ok. Let's fish for set pieces but let's not practice 'em.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Painful

Like pulling teeth at the moment, LL...

 

[Bez2k2k]

20 mins left. Championship rounds, they should tire.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Teams can do whatever they want. We lack the ability to punish them.

Indeed. The settle back, keep shape, press intelligently and get the turnover, then break effectively.

That last bit eludes us.

 

[Toffeepot]

Ok. Let's fish for set pieces but let's not practice 'em.

Don't think we even have a set piece coach

 

[Dharma]

Moyes has put his stamp on the team very quickly.

 

[riddick]

Screw it, play Alcaraz as striker next match

 

[Professor Toffee]

Palace are better at diving than we are

 

[Rita_Poon]

penalty for us
