Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Agreed, when the players go into a defensive shell in games, especially when we're winning, Moyes is urging them forwards, not backwards..! Lack of strong leadership on the pitch is what kills us in these situations. I think it's a huge thing. Ironically I would have coufal in the group of potentia...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Is this the one hammerman2004? To be honest, for me personally it is more important to make some assists than keep a clean sheet. I shouldn't say that because I'm defender, but I was always an attack-minded player. I like attacking, I prefer to win 4-3 than 1-0, so I like to make assists and I'm rea...

It's almost like we're on here to talk about football.
That would imply it had gone a bit wrong at least before then.

Then put the full quote so we are talking about the whole picture.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Phillips for Antonio, and Johnson for JWP, really screams "keep playing how you are and don't drop deeper and let them build in our third". Well one of those was in the 84th minute but ok. Presumably they were all ignoring him up to the point of leading 3-1 and then decided to revert to d...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Freiburg were bloody awful. Which has no bearing on his statement that you are trying to parse to fit your view. We need to play how we are told is what he said. Not were told or sometimes are told. We were 3-1 up and stopped doing what we had been told. You've somehow got that to we are designed t...

That first half where we set up with JWP in the #10 and had an xG of 0.08.
And that shows they weren't told to play all in in the 1st half?

The bit you must have not noticed
We beat Freiburg five-nil, because we were able to keep doing stuff that our staff asked us to do for 90 minutes, so we just need to play 90 minutes how we are asked to play and that's it.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Yes. It made no sense to sell all our best subs and bring in no one whilst 7th and in EL QFs. Moyes is leaving and Kretinsky, Steidten, Sullivan have bigger more fashionable managers in mind with the lure of huge pay check and a war chest. That is my view anyway. Moyes got hung out to dry. Why not ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Good point, though I’m not sure that Moyes gets the same kind of love (looking for a better word) from west ham supporterrs, as Klopp will get from Liverpool supporters? He should. It's the sort of thing we used to be known for. Been along time since we have had a manager that deserves such a rousi...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Surely we are currently at the point that any SD/DOF plus a coach system would aspire to, top 10 and Europe? What then is the point of change? Go backwards to go forwards I suspect. Steidten (based on Leverkusen) is about a different system. Young, cheap, undervalued players sometimes discarded by ...

That is likely to happen and for bringing us our first trophy for 43 years he is a club legend in that respect.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

And I think he is spot on there. Manager's live and die on their recruitment. He probably deserves one more transfer window. But I'm not sure he's going to get one tbh.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I can’t see it happening but an interim manager coming in for the last half a dozen of games, such as a club legend could galvanize the team for a final push. The feeling of deflation if we do go out on Thursday night will be huge, and adding into that the manager almost certain to be leaving (I re...
