The reason why they don’t score as many goals as they should is because the focus in training is almost entirely on defending, so they are not being trained properly to play attacking football.

What is your proof of this? Do you sit in most training sessions, or is it just some bias pap youve put out? It is garbage Michael.

The reason they dont score many goals, is because most dont have it in their locker.

Mykolenko isnt a goal scorer. Armstrong going through and missing, is his ability. Obrien isnt a goal scorer. George & Dibling for all their ability, cant hit the target.

Most dont have it in their locker, as goals cost money. And thats been a scant resource, bar one season, in the last 5 years. This 8sbt a moyes issue, its the same issue that has dogged Everton for decades.

Moyes has definitely set the team to attack and the only factor stopping more goals being scored is Barry who still struggles to put clear opportunities into the net. Moyes himself has said he wants to see the squad scoring more. He doesn’t set up defensively if he wants goals.

There’s a few problems with your analysis. Firstly, I think the way we played against Coventry in the first half, and in the second half until they scored, is a very clear and accurate representation of the way Moyes sets the team up to play — and it’s definitely not to attack — it is to defend at all costs.

But they let a goal in, and they know that Moyes will be livid. It’s at that point the players finally started playing more attacking fooball. The reason why they don’t score as many goals as they should is because the focus in training is almost entirely on defending, so they are not being trained properly to play attacking football.

That’s a good point, Dave.

But, if you flip to the other side of the same coin, those exact same teams have been denied vital points that would have seen them higher up the table precisely because they lost to Everton!

It’s a funny old game…

Was meant as a reply to MK who complains about Moyes picking his favourites. He doesn’t say who or,who he would put in their position..

If you saw how Moyes did in his first term, he gets players playing the team way before introducing them permanently. City have always done it that way, so to have Liverpool. It ensures consistency and style. Look at dibling, he is being introduced slowly because he still isn’t doing what’s asked of him. George is getting close but still lacking. Hackney should be getting more time but who do you drop to put him in ? Garner,Armstrong, Dewsbury-Hall. Hackney is midfield so where would mk play him ? On the wing maybe haha.
