Genuine q - what makes you proud of Moyes tonight? The initial set up was good but the second half was a dreadful coaching performance imo. Subs (despite lack of depth of squad) were unbelievable imo You’ve contradicted yourself there - he had nothing to change it up on that bench. Thought Moyes ma...

Reading between the lines, this looks like being an effort to accommodate the extra Champions League game weeks.

What we will need as an absolute minimum imo 2 x starting centrebacks 1 x reserve centreback 1 x starting RB 1 x reserve LB 1x reserve CDM 1 x starting ALM 1 x starting CM 2 x strikers 1 starter 1 reserve 2X Academy players to be put in senior squad The following players to be sold or released John...

We have about 12 or 13 players being flogged to death all season Moyes has worked miracles to get us this far in both the league and this cup Shame on you David Sullivan this is all on you Difficult to disagree - Fornals, Benrahma and Kehrer would have all been useful from the bench this evening. W...

This is a proper European game - the sort of match I once wondered if I'd ever see us involved in. No Alvarez and Bowen make it an even bigger challenge, but we still have enough to pose them problems. As others have said, if we can see it respectable tonight, we've every chance of pulling off a sho...

Just to be clear, that text I quoted was from this BBC article which still hasn’t been corrected (it seems pretty clear that Moyes has been misquoted): https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/ckr52g935r8o.amp

From this Moyes’ presser this evening: On Bowen's absence, he added: "He's twisted his knee and there's some sort of damage. We can't give any dates of when he might be back, unfortunately. He's an England international and we know how important he is to our team, so he'll be a miss for sure.&q...

Have mentioned a while back, but we've scouted him numerous times this season.

We’ve done what to him?

Going to be a bit of a fire sale on Chelsea's homegrown in the summer you'd have to think. Their problem is that the likes of Broja and Chalobah have probably decreased in value over the course of the season - no club in their right mind is going to pay what Chelsea will want for them. Even the like...

I hope I'm wrong, but with our track record of poor forward planning I can well imagine we won't have the managerial situation sorted until deep into the summer, followed by a mad rush to buy and shift out players.

As a kid I thought the Kendall-era Everton were kind of cool as they offered genuine competition to a then dominant Liverpool. As time has gone on though, I've developed a real dislike of the club thanks to old Toffee-supporting colleagues I've had to work with, plus the dodginess that still surroun...

This is the scenario that concerns me the most. Could well be the case if Tim ups and leaves.

Having seen the magic elixir quality it had last night, Phillips should probably be given the courtesy of being judged when he's playing in a team with Paqueta present. Even players like Bowen and Kudus have looked lost in the the hot garbage we've been putting out post-Christmas so it's reasonable...

We needed that.

One takeaway I had from last night - on the basis of last night's performances, I don't think Phillips gets in our starting midfield. Soucek in particular had a really good game.

I’m too young to remember him as a player in his prime, but from the retrospective highlights that would regularly crop up on TV when I was a kid he seemed as cool as a player gets. Skilful, cheeky and a showman. While I appreciate his glory days coincided with a lull for the national team, it seems...

you could say the same about john terry & sol campbell I played in a London Cup game against Sol Campbell when he was playing for Senrab - head and shoulders the best player on the pitch - he would have been about 14 at the time. All the talk after the game was that West Ham had missed out on h...

Gutted the way this is all panning out.

Fortunes always hiding…

Lots of flak being fired in Stedten's direction over the breakdown of the Osman deal, but not much being said about Unique Sports involvement in how the transfer fell through. Also worth reminding ourselves about those stories that emerged on client media sites just as the deal look to have been don...
