I'd like it if he made the right actions and put out a team that tries to win a game and entertain the supporters, rather than just minimise the number of goals we lose by.

I disagree - I believe his plan was ugly but I'd imagine what he had in mind is for us to defend, release Antonio, and have Antonio play for a foul or corner... Then Snodgrass does his magic. Not inspirational at all, but thats what I think. Moyes basically admitted post-match it was about keeping ...

The possession in 2017 was identical. Difference was we scored from a corner instead of conceding from one. For all the talk of how we were battered, I don't remember Fabianski doing that much or it being appreciably different to any game at their place in the last seven or eight years. Every game ...

The same tactic had us 1-0 up at half time in 2017, and level with 7 minutes to go. From what I remember that City game we were not quite as defensive, but ok I will follow your point. What I do recall is we were lucky they were very profligate (like they were recently) which flatters us. You love ...

No he didn't. He played a tactic which he thought would get the best opportunity to restrict the number we lost by.

Actually, quite a few pros read club message boards, believe it or not. The media certainly do to “get a feel” for fan sentiment. That and Twitter, which has led to massive pressure on players and managers. A very small minority will, but no I do not believe you when you say quite a few pros read c...

I dunno if anyone here was in the military (apologies if so), but I certainly would want to be going into battle with some of you guys! We need to be showing some enthusiasm and optimism for the challenge ahead. Go to games home and away and support the team do you then? Do you ****, and have the c...

I think we should be able to beat Saints, draw Arsenal, beat or draw Wolves, beat Spurs, draw or beat Chelsea and beat Newcastle. That's 12-16 pts. If Moyes does not achieve that total you state he should be able to achieve, would you admit that run of games has been a failure by Moyes? Or would yo...

It’s a bit out of context. He didn’t specifically say he isn’t ready for the PL at all. He said he doesn’t want to put additional pressure on him and I gather that means not starting him at Anfield and expecting the miracles to happen . That in itself isn’t an issue if we he goes with players like ...

I make you right. I think Moyes realised he ****ed up by going too attacking against City and will rectify that vs Liverpool.

We all know that roughly 40 points keeps you in the Premier League but we also know that we are in a really tough period of games. Goal difference also comes into the thinking Ha ha ha He actually mentioned goal difference in his comments There is 12 games to go. 12. 36 points left for grabs and he...

I logged in to see how ironing board could justify these tactics tonight, he's tried to be fair to him, he's failed but he's tried Same. It's hilarious. IB/RM6 clearly thinks of himself as some kind of football expert passing on his wisdom to us plebs, which makes it even funnier when to protect hi...

Sully left it too late to save us I think. We were 17th when Moyes took over 1 point above 18th. We are still 17th now on GD. Moyes will have plenty of time to have an impact on our Premier League survival. If he has enough ability to have a positive impact is then the question. We shall see but I ...

Lanzini is shot.It's worrying Moyes can't see that and is pinning his hopes on Lanzini pre-injury 2 years ago, whilst dropping Fornals who was hitting some form. Ogonna is HOTY by some distance. The fact it is by some distance is why we are in the ****. Decent performance tonight defending and tryin...

Yeah, he was an absolute ray of sunshine when it was Pellegrini in charge rather than Moyes.

You do realise it is possible to think the owners are leeching parasites and the key consistent in the **** state we are in, but also to think Moyes is a boring, negative, out-of-date, board lapdog, **** manager?

This sounds far more like you with Pellegrini than the vast majority regarding Moyes.

Ironing Board would disagree.

Everton were so dogshit Pellegrini's West Ham would have stood a good chance of winning that let alone getting a point.

An utterly dull point grinding exercise, as would be expected from Moyes.
