Today's football.

It's not actually news to Evertonians either is it? It's amazing how the media glossed over his glaring faults.

"Look at the job he did at plucky everton" - press judged him on the club in the state that he inherited, not the one which it became

He just can't win must win games . Found out big time .

Loads of their key players (evra, vidic, Ferdinand, carrick, Rvp) are the wrong side of 30 and Rooney and de gea aside the rest are largely gash

It's less than 12 months since the same side was walking the league - not five years!!

Anyone starting to feel some sympathy for the wretched soul?




No, not yet.

He was the top young manager in world football for his first five years here where he performed miracles. However, after that, when we had games we were expected to win to push on, he couldn't get it done.

What we're seeing here is all of that magnified. Moyes cannot get the best out of good players in big games. He instils fear and negativity.

...oh dear, he always told the lads who wanted to leave us that 'the grass isn't always greener'. Perhaps he should've heeded his own words.

O dear Moyes ,haven´t seen an exodus like that at Old trafford since they played Spurs.....

No, not yet.

I do have some form of sympathy for him, maybe we could take him back at the end of the season. Heard The Spellow needs a new barmaid so.....

True but city and Chelsea aren't as dysfunctional as last season, arsenal are much better as well, ditto the merseyside clubs.

Starting to think wenger played a blinder selling RVP to them, £13m a year for 4 years for a guy who won't be worth that for the last 2 seasons, possible

And warnock just said that mourinho couldn't have done better there, comedy genius is neil

Nah, he made his bed, he has to lie in it.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Hahaha. I actually feel a little sorry for him!

I didn't watch the game. If Michael Owen's commentary was the highlight then I'm glad I didn't! (or was is sarcasm?)

 

[dixe]

Sad to say but even Rodgers has more of a clue tactically than Moyes

Jesus KKK had him off 3 times in one season

 

[4737carlin]

haha amazing that, great to see him fail again

Indeed, he's someone who think could do brilliantly at villa (and ok at Newcastle) to get them up to a top 7 level but he won't take a club much further.

Basically, he's another hodgson/Bruce rioch, massively promoted above his abilities. Totally different skillset to managing a man united to Everton, how so many people can't see stuff like this is beyond me.

They will still get a CL place. In fact, going out of the cup gives them a bit of breathing space in that respect.

I expect a big month in the transfer market for them and some quality in the middle brought in.

Moyes is a complete duffer though and it'll all be in spite of him they do get a CL spot not because of him. If they don't get a CL spot Moyes will be out...no question.
