I'm thinking this isn't a serious post ... surely?

Seriously? If you think Snodgrass is the root of our problems then you're seriuously mistaken.

Puff Daddy has to be trolling there. If every player gave Snodgrass's effort we wouldnt be where we are now.

I'm surprised he's had this many bites, to be honest.

Just like they didn't provide Carvalho for Bilic, or a striker for Bilic, or any full backs despite us being linked constantly, or a replacement for Obiand and Hernandez.

We could have Boris Johnson as manager and my contempt would be directed at the owners.

I think relegation is almost nailed on now. And what happens after that is anyone's guess. :|

You can't help but think the Owners plans strike an uncanny resemblance to the Johnson public veneer of seeking a deal but heading on a course to leave without one, Brexit manoeuvres. Perhaps they think that the Premier League will unexpectedly change the rules of relegation to protect our decline come May. Or perhaps the Daves hold some incriminating evidence of deviant porno addiction on the part of those in charge of such matters. Though if so, they clearly do not have any over the referees and those running Var from most of the evidence so far even if the pen gave a moment of hope.

Presently however I can't see even the remotest evidence of any less surreal plans and schemes in the owners locker beyond accepting the real possibility of relegation, or would I be naive to use 'owners' and 'plan' in the same sentence.

2 shots on target and 32% possession. A 4 - 1 defeat.

That is absolutely terrible.

As others have said the lack of pace in midideld killed us again. You have to be able to press in the modern game and no way our midfield can do that for more than 10 minutes. We let them play in the first half and gave them space to exploit in the second.

Antonio was excellent when he came on. Great movement, made intelligent runs to create space for others and buzzed around them for the first 20 of the second half. He is our one hope of staying up.

At least Moyes changed it up at half time and with the players available I am not sure there was more he could have done.

Even if we do somehow stay up will the Daves really undertake the rebuilding job needed to stop this happening again next year?

probably the most depressing aspect is that we've become one of those clubs where from the first minute, any free kick the right side of the halfway line is considered a great opportunity to stick it in the mixer.

we honestly just looked like we were playing in the wrong league last night.

Moyes surrendered the game much like he did in his last reign. And much like Allardyce before him.

Some people would not and still won't have it. They'll still say he deserves a chance.

Yet every time he puts a team out it's safety first, unbalanced and reliant on individuals. Last time Arnautovic saved him, this time he's going to rely on Antonio. At Everton he played Fellaini up top to lump balls at, with us it's Haller.

Having 30% possession in a Premier League match shows you don't belong there. It's our time to go down, we'll get everything we deserve.

Part of me is actually thinking, mad as it seems that he is thinking precisely that and somehow sees it as the alternative to the failed and bombing con of discredited Next Level that they won't/can't any longer finance and rapidly losing the argument near and far. Maybe, having given up on any hope of being loved as a saviour or leaving a real legacy, he thinks it will save him piles of cash (which as we know is his prime life force) and can sell off the best assets and through Moyes has a man who will get them back up just in time to sell off the club come 2023 to maximise his profit and let new owners take responsibility for new investment, perhaps he sees Wolves as the new role model there for others to buy into. As I say sounds like madness, delusion and false hope and would have to be extremely lucky (with no history of that) for the figures to really stack up, but as things stand and as Sherlock always said '... that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth'.

Of course the most likely scenario for that 'plan' would be either Championship obscurity or worse involving a new level below anything in our history.

Burnley, 7 points better off than us, beat Manchester United away with only 28% possession last night...

Moyes will be on the naughty step if he even thinks about playing our strongest team.
Do we have a 'strongest team". Damned if I can spot it if we do.

he talked about how seriously he was going to take it last time and was praised for it, which is easy to do when you've got a week till the next fixture.

we do have a midweek fixture this time but it's liverpool. i know which one i'd be fielding my strongest team for.

2 - Why is it becoming a recurring theme under Moyes that we seem to start slowly and then he puts a rocket up their backsides at half time, can't he just do that from the first whistle?
Can anyone remember a time when we didn't start slowly, its certainly since before Bilic.
