Tbh what has Broja done to deserve a start ?

I don't know, I haven't been to every training session in the past few weeks like the manager has

Critizing the choice of Doucoure and Harrison who are both awful footballers is not condemning Moyes, just frustration at their inclusion yet again. There must be another alternative selection which would be a lesser risk than playing those two against a very good Forest team.

The only way you find out if Alcaraz is good enough is by playing him.

He's played 10 ish times already hasn't he?

If there was, they'd be playing wouldn't they?

Errr Criticising

I can only assume Harrison is playing because of his defensive work because he doesn't offer much else

 

[EFC49]

Don't you think Alcaraz is worth 15m then ? Even at today's prices. I know one thing I don't think I can watch Doucoure stumble around the pitch much longer.

brilliant point. He is worth more than 15m. Snap him up before someone else does.

Moyes likes to start with 10 men playing Harrison. Someone out of position would be better than him, and for me he's one of the worst players in the league. If we loan him again then we aren't serious about trying to progress.

He starts with 9…

Thats not true, his ability to stop attacks is pretty good, for both sides.

Funnily enough "mega mega white thing" was Jack Harrison's nickname when he was at Leeds

We are due a stuffy win

I would imagine it’s more that they’d like to be able to get to the end of the season and then assess the squad rather than being forced to sign him. We have nothing to play for now so it’s shrewd to keep their powder dry and their options open. Maybe even go back and offer £10m if they want him considering the economic climate most clubs are going to find themselves in.

If Harrison is only in "for his defensive work" we may as well play Patterson or a back 5 with Patterson wingback... Literally no point in playing a winger for defensive cover, it`s like playing a GK for his goalscoring threat but he can`t stop conceding....

Doucoure and Harrison constantly being picked is this sides downfall, I would have preferred to see McNeil and Alcaraz start instead of them 2, even Chermiti if you drop Broja wide.

Good point, well made
