WTF Moyes ????

[stinger]

Well your wrong there, because he is quick and he demonstrated that when tackling back yesterday. How did we switch to a 3 man defence?

HIbbert is not quick, although you can find players who are even slower than him, like Neville.

And IMO we switched to a 3 man defence, with Heitinga-Jagielka-Distin, and Baines and Coleman playing as wing backs. But if someone has a better explanation what was Heitinga doing on the pitch after he was introduced, I'm willing to listen.

I'll back you up. 4-5-1, unless you play with width, creates nothing for the frontman. Saha had Coleman supplying the ammunition, whereas Beckford had Rodwell. To be a successful wide man you need pace, quick feet and the ability to cross a ball. I wouldn't say that any of those are especially Jack's strengths. It would have made more sense to me to move Rodders inside, where he can get stuck in and drive forward for a shot on goal, and to move the unusually quiet Arteta out to the right to make use of his crossing ability.

I agree that Beckford and Saha in tandem would probably have given Dunne and Collins more food for thought than the lone striker being supported by Cahill.

What bringing Heitinga on at right back was about is anyone's guess. It would have made far more sense to bring Bily, Gueye or even both on.

I agree that Distin has been playing well too. I'm still not entirely comfortable with him though due to him being error-prone and dawdling for too long, but he's been doing a lot of covering for Jags recently.

Thanks mate, at least I know that somebody was watching the same game as me ....

Hibbert is quick.

Did you not think Jags was being covered by Distin though? He mad an absolute howler did Jagielka. Seem to have gone unnoticed.

Distin has been covering for Jags for quite a while. In truth, he's still nowhere near the player he was before his injury. He's certainly not in the international team on current form.

For their goal yesterday I don't blame Fellaini. Distin let two runners go and Jags didn't close down quick enough. Hibbert did a manful job of trying to come across to cover.

I can't see it. Moyes isn't a quitter and Kenwright has stood by him through much worse than this. The gaffer will want to see his project through. After persuading the likes of Cahill and Arteta to commit to the club, he would view it as disloyalty in the extreme to abandon ship.

Ladbrokes have suspended betting moyes going to villa.

Bollocks me thinks

What im finding real difficult to understand is the fact that we losing 1-0 but then instead of putting on 2 strikers NO we go and replace one for another...... Moyes goes and plays Fellani almost like a D/M whom I reckon Heitinga would play far better in that position. Now lets discuss Rodwell WTF was he playing on the right of midfield for anyhows????? Pienaar looked so lost in the match (except for the one shot) but we will keep him on, maybe he is thinking about where he might be going....

Dont we have a midfield that is strong enough to take on Villa I think we do but we will still play 5 there even when we losing. What I can say is that Distin is an unsung hero and he has improved alot under Moyes.

Moyes I have always trusted your decisions but this team that played Villa was the wrong selection once again, and to whoever on this site said that we should sell the Yak well I would think again cause we gonna need him on form as soon as possible.

We are talking of David Moyes here, shame on you for casting doubts on his selection, tactics and subbing. BTW if you read other thread no one wants to buy Yak except for peanuts.

Yeah I think Disitin has been covering Jags since the start of the season, dont think Jags is all there yet but he will be soon i bet. Actually dont think most of the players are there yet to be honest

Never wrote anybody wants to buy the Yak, i wrote that people on the forum were saying we should sell him.
