The performences arent great mate, hes right and you are to - we all see it and are frustrated about it. I dont think its a fundemental thing you can blame on tactics, or preperation etc. With the pool of players we have available at the mo we lack balance, options and in some positions expierence or the ability to provide options for the manager to vary things.

Its a kin to me asking you to build me a website without your Mac.

Well I can still do it on a PC.

But sure the injuries are a factor to a point. Tired players, confused players in false positions, but they are not always played in foreign positions are they?

We are choosing experience over players who fit in those positions. Like Duffy, like Mustafi, these are players who can play centre back, and if they can you don't need to play players out of position.

If the manager can give players like Baxter or Wallace more than 30 minutes every month, he may see a different performance, but he doesn't does he. He shoe horns players. Now he has a squad of first team players. These are the players that he doesn't play:

Mustafi (Centre Back)
Duffy (Centre Back)
Peterlin (Centre Mid)
Wallace (Centre Mid)
Arnoux (Striker)
Agard (Striker)
Baxter (Forward)

Now he has paid money for 4 of those players, not much, but they are first team players. Are they going to get played? Nope. So why sign them? Is it not for situations just like this???

Is that the answer really mate, bring in 7 untried youngsters with an average age of i would say is about 19 - its reaching a bit to be fair. We had Super Dan Gosling and Rodders in the team today because we had no one else, its enough to blood these lads and let them develop and gain expierence - thier not consistent but they never will be without minutes on the pitch, im sure we would be sheilding them a bit except for injuries - it always comes back to it really.

It will never happen to be honest nor should it for me, it would be man management suicide - you would have to think any of those players would find it hard to come in and make a difference given the context of our situation and their expierence.

We're the matchstick men of Premier League football. I fully expect at least one injury per game. It's something systemic. Maybe that's what you get when you have a fitness regime designed, to use Moyes' own words, to produce ballet dancers rather than power athletes?

So why are they there? to make up numbers for the reserves?

I've been saying this all day, almost to the point where it caused a war from being rediculed over it.

The fact Moyes would rather replace an alternator with a waterpump, and leave the new alternator on the shelf, just because the waterpump has been on the engine before is a big issue with me, and one that he is constantly slated for across the forums....... except here..... where it is frowned upon to be unhappy with Moyes.

Yeah, why have players in the reserves who you never call on. Likes of Peterlin and Arnoux are probably wondering what the **** am I doing here?

If I'm not good enough, let me go somewhere where I am.

Everton To Sign Arnoux


Everton will complete the signing of Cody Arnoux, subject to the formalities of the transfer being ratified by the Football Association.
The American arrives on Merseyside on a one-year contract having played for the Carolina Dynamo in his homeland.
Arnoux is a forward player who recorded 13 goals in 16 games for the Dynamo in the fourth tier of football in the USA. He has also played for America's Under-18 side and was the star at his university, Wake Forest.
Arnoux, 21, will join up with Andy Holden and Alan Stubbs' reserve squad in preparation for the new season.
 
So why are they there? to make up numbers for the reserves?

Sorry lads lashing six or seven untried youngster into the first team is the answer to our current situation is pure armeghedon. What are they there for, they have showen potential that the club hopes with nurturing, coaching, development will save them millions. Of the group you mentioned we would be lucky if two or three ever make first team regulars - to say they should be used over players who have proabably clocked over thousands of games in Europe, Internationals and PL well frankly is a bit reactionary - sometimes solutions just arent that easy. Change can often be far more disruptive then working with what you have.

Pure madness to think putting players with no expierence into a winter PL programme will be the solution to our problems.

Just face it lads its the injuries - simples!
