Moyes and strikers

[Nymzee]

Jason Scotland, IN!

Who did he have at Wigan? Kone, who he brought with him, but I seem to recall a few real duffers for them as well.

Yeh just the few omitted years in that list

Think its more to do with the fact that in his system the striker is more of a team player who brings others in and holds the ball up too make play rather than an out and out goal scorer. Playing a lone front man as we do we don't create anywhere near enough for a lone front man to be a goal scorer regardless of how bad Beto and Barry are, Haaland wouldn't score in our setup imo.

They've had plenty of chances about 6 yard box range mate and converted hardly any (none for Barry). And Lukaku wasn't;t exactly a fox in the box either.

I know Beto wasn't a Moyes buy, but neither are composed in front of goal. Barry was a poor purchase and Moyes certainly cant coach poor CFs to be better finishers.

He has never signed a non domestic striker and got anything out of them. He's always preferred and signed players "proven" in the Prem.

He wanted Liam Delap. We got Thierno Barry.

Moyes had Jo though.

Are you saying they can't understand his accent?

I'd take Jo right now

 

[COYBL25]

I'd take Jo right now

Based on Joeys scouting, I`d take a forty two year old Dean Ashton.

You can say that about Everton in recent times too.

Keane and Sandro being obvious candidates alongside Barry so far.

I wish it was as easy as he can't work with strikers and there are 100s that he could have bought. But imho there are few top class strikers and he can't afford them. Simple as.

Hopefully the top notch, world renowned recruitment team we have ‘poached’ from our competitors will be able to identify those young strikers who have the chance to develop into the next top class striker? Not holding my breath like, but I have to have some hope for the future.

His whole matra is keep a clean sheet and hope we get one on a break away and he will never change that . So combined with our "system" of running forward at pace and stopping dead then not being able to put in more than a couple of decent crosses per game it puts the emphasis on getting a mobile striker aka Callum Wilson who can pick up the ball and help himself .

Joey would have Farmers as our scouts and physio team.

The only time i think he's played to a striker's strengths was last season with Beto. Then he reverted back to type this season.

Fail. You need to up your game

Seriously, he would.
