I do love how much it means to Beto. He would break his back for the club. Shame about his first touch!

 

[preposterousvelios]

Oh Beto

How did he not manage a shot there

 

[Rita_Poon]

beto charged the clearance down but his following touch let him down.

You know it’s bad when even Moyes knows halftime changes are needed.

 

[lieneverton]

Good to see we've at least changed things.

 

[the golden visionary]

Strikers? 3 goals all season. There are defenders with more goals and shots on goal.

Im using the term loosely

 

[Rita_Poon]

we cant get any where near damsgard

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Is that 2 home starts for Dibling and twice dragged off at half time?

Harsh on Dibling. McNeil for Rohl I’m fine with, but I don’t hate a change in system though. Big changes were required and he’s delivered, so I guess he lives or dies by it second half.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Fair play for actually doing something about that first 45mins. Never thought I’d see him be so decisive (or desperate!)

 

[RAFUH]

Two strikers!? Is that allowed?

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Oh Beto

How did he not manage a shot there

Because he is who he is

 

[GrandOldTeam]

It is but both times his lack of supporting full back had really hindered him.

Big time. Here Iroegbunam didn't help either.

Nobody is calling for his head. But you seem incredibly jumpy.

The truth is we are a middling side in a league of very fine margins. If we win today, we won't be making the Champions League. If we lose, we won't be relegated.

Moyes is neither a genius nor a duffer. Whether he's the man for the future is the question the owners will need to ask themselves. He's done tremendously well over the last 12 months. I think we'll need to move on from him come the summer - or the one after at the very latest. But if he can get us top half and take the cup seriously, he'll merit a bit more patience.

All of which is well on track.

 

[Daytripper]

Has he put Rohl on the right wing?

 

[Efcjake]

Those subs are literally "Hoof it up top and hope chaos works out for us"
