Even if he did read it..He's so stubborn he won't do nothing..The funny thing is that Hibbert and Osman are his first names on the team sheet and when thats happening your in trouble..

You must frequent Toffeeweb a bit? The usual fallguys Hibbo and Ossie I see. Hibbert been one of our best players this season, not saying a lot based on our start, but has been solid in defence, which is his primary job. Osman been played out of position, what is he supposed to do, tell the gaffer he doesn't wanna play?

I like Osman to be honest but I don't think he should be a starter..If Moyes could use his subs better he would be good to bring on about 65 mins if we are drawing or 1-0 up...Hibbo is not good enough in a attacking sense..Good defender tho..

Which is why you use Hibbert in some games, against the like of Chelsea and United, where a young inexperienced player is likely to be torn apart. I don't see a problem with playing Hibbert then, and when we play lesser teams, playing Coleman to give us a bit more attacking flair. Hibbert has been one of the best players so far this season, so it is unfair that he is still being moaned at for not attacking enough, even though that isn't his game anymore.

Osman he is good enough to start, at least when there are injuries, but he shouldn't be played on the wing, full stop. He prefers to be able to have a bit more time and space when he has the ball, so he should be played centrally, with Bilya/Coleman/Anichebe/A.N.Other or even Beckford (with his pace) if necessary on the right. TBH I'd say Distin is more of a problem when he plays against a fast, physical centre forward.

After that the only other player we need is a goalscorer, which hopefully we have in the Yak once he starts games again.

I agree with your hibbert points but really can't agree that Osman should be a starter...He's just not consistant enough...Saying that tho that goes for everyone in the team..i would say only Tim Howard is one of most consistant players...

Like the cup final against Chelsea.

I agree with Muggins. Kendall in reality reinforces what many have been pointing out about Moyes, his team selection (sticking to Faves), tactics and subbing.

Cannot agree with Blue gibbon for me Hibbo, Osman, Distin and Neville are not good enough even to be on the bench IMO. Add to that Saha is of little use.

There's a reason for that. You'll be justifying Distin ahead of Heittinga next.
 
Don't agree about squads being too big. I've come to the conclusion that Moyesy definitely tries to allow players to come through their bad patches on the field by continuously playing them rather than replacing them and damaging their confidence further. I don't agree with it as a strategy, but its the only way I can rationalise his stubborness.
