Underdog mentality

cadex · November 23, 2010

Does anyone think Moyes will ever shake off this tag and start believing that his team can become or atleast thrive towards becoming 'top dogs'?

Signs that we just love being the underdog:

1. Consistent poor starts to seasons because we just enjoy playing catch up.
2. Take an early lead in a game and then get 11 men behind the ball. Underdog mentality.
3. Play passively against the 'Sky 4' until we are two goals behind so we can get into our comfort zone, ie. underdog mentality.

Personally, Moyes is perfect for relegation threatened or mid-table teams at best. If we are all satisfied with just fighting off relegation year after year then fine, otherwise, it's time he moved on and we got ourselves a winner with a 'top dog' mentality.

I'd say it's far too hasty to be getting rid of Moyes mate, far far too hasty.

I'm not saying immediately but perhaps at the end of the season . We seem to be on a road to nowhere with Moyes at the helm.

The end of the season might be a call mate, if we've had a shocker of a season.

I share your frustration at our averageness though mate.

I think we're nailed on to finish 8th or 9th. I think we have a squad of players that can do much better that.
