chelsea, city, arsenal, rs, league form side wolves, and a robbery vs man utd. 6 out of the ten games. should have beat ipswich, could have beaten west ham. Got very lucky last minute vs notts forest.
Moyes stepped in and got a very unhappy unit of players playing far better than they had in months, that patch of good results made us effectively safe.
There are 14 players on the chopping block in 4 weeks time.
With very little tangible anything to play for, expecting some of these players to run through walls and break bones for the cause is probably asking a bit much. There'll be a few who know the only time they see the inside of BMD will be from the stands.
It's also worth noting that having a player on the books sniping tweets about how badly you are doing isn't all that helpful for moral.
I struggle to think of a similar case to maupay, perhaps van hooijdonk decades ago, the rest of the side hated him. (PvH scoring record is out of this world btw)
Re yesterday, Delap goes for J O'B and cops a yellow, 20 seconds later takes Branthwaite down late. That's one of ours and the ref piggy backs whoever off quicker than you can say richard masters. Patterson gets fouled and they go and score. Where's the var? Apparently they're always checking.
Not for Everton they don't.
Moyes needs to get a spotlight on these matters, because until they're highlighted they'll keep happening. There are tens of millions of pounds at stake with these officiating failures.
