Moyes decisions today.

[Stend]

Please check your facts before they played us their last 7 games were, P7, W1, D1, L5

Why uve mentioned before us i dont know. They draw one instead of a loss. Anyway they aint won in 7 and have lost 6

Weird. I'm usually the first on the David Moyes "tactically stupid" gravy train, but I thought he made the correct subs at the correct time. Wigan were getting space in behind our midfield and the ball wasn't sticking up top, so he moved Pienaar centrally to control the ball at feet and Heitinga to protect "the hole" in front of our back four.

No complaints whatsoever. I think the OP is way off base here.

Gibsons a sitter mate. Attacking midfielders are the likes of Nasri, fabregas etc. he is absolutely nothing like them

He's not an attacking midfielder or a defensive one. He's more like a box-to-box midfielder, he has an equal role in all parts of the game, both attacking and defending.
Arteta's game was also nothing like Nasri or Fabregas, certainly in his last year or so with us, but he wasn't a defensive midfielder. Fellaini also doesn't play like either Nasri or Fabregas when playing behind the striker, when he's there he isn't a defensive midfielder either. Similarly Gerrard isn't a defensive midfielder for the kopites, but he doesn't play like Nasri or Fabregas.

No1 said he was a defensive midfielder (well i didnt) i said hes more of a defensive player than an attacking player. Hes sort of in the middle.

Not defensive or attacking, but in the middle? Midfielder some would say?

I like Moyes and dont think theres a better managers to keep the club "stable" however its this caution that keeps us from winning cups.

He just doesnt believe in out and attacking football. He always throws caution to the wind.

Why Barkley doesnt deserve at least a 20 minute cameo I dont know!

These 2 sentences contradict each other.

As for Barkley, he was wayward at Wednesday, showing only flashes of brilliance. We need steady heads with discipline and focus, i.e., experience. Bring him on when we're 3-0 up with ten minutes to go but not when we're trying to grind down another Premiership team.

There's still a difference between winning a game and "blowing them over" - did you watch them play Arsenal?

Someone said that Moyes played six defenders which he has done before (like when he plays Heitinga and Neville in midfield) but just didn't today because Hitz and Gibson are too good with the ball to be defenders. It wasn't at all an uncreative purely destructive midfield.

Gibson is in my mind a more creative player than Fellaini.

 

[Elong]

Pretty sure the object of a game of football is to score more goals than the other team, thus winning the match.

Did we fail at this today or something?

Oh, but the way we did it was gash and we were too defensive and Messlay isn't getting a run and my FIFA 13 2-5-3 formation would destroy Wigan.

We got 3 points. Pretty sure you can't get more than 3 points out of a game.

 

[Bilko]

What a strange thread !.we won I think,manager managed the game and we won .folks have a problem with that ,weird

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I don't understand why you're hating on Hitzlsperger so much. He had a fine game, nearly scored an absolute belter, did very little wrong.

Barkley is not going to come on and blow people's minds, you need to stop bumming him so much.

Nailed.

Moyes desitzions brought us 3points today. thats a fact.
close the thread.

I thought Mucha was pretty solid on the bench today, none conceded again, different class.

Best keeper we've had since Big Nev. He just excudes calmness. Whenever you see him sitting there on the bench, you know he'll have everything under control.

I disagree mate.

He came out at half time and had a complete shocker.

I thought Barkley did well today tho, he ran the touchline like a pro.
