A bit harsh on Andy Stewart there mate, that song of his ‘Donald where’s your Trousers’ was a catchy little comedy record…it’s better record than Moyes Comedy Record Vs The Arse

We won’t lay a glove on them because Moyes will go all in on defence, as usual. There will be no attempt to have a go. I don’t see how anyone can defend his completely negative tactics, no matter who we are playing

Just read that Moyes record against Arsenal, Man City and liverpool, (including his time at West Ham) is played 22, lost 21. Given we know how he will approach our next game, we can reasonably assume that will be 22 defeats out of 23. So if the players he is selecting aren’t doing the job, what chance are the younger players ever going to get? Seize their opportunities my arse, he doesn’t like giving younger players game time when he can play his favourites in front of them.

What do they have to wait for. Why not make changes. tomorrow. Barry and Johnson are crap. Moyes has no balls . Can he not see what all the fans can see. Dowman aged 16 scored against us last season and I am sure he will score again tomorrow. I think you would call him a youngster Moyes.

The balls in your court mate …

No thanks. He’s gone as a player.

Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott, Tim Cahill were not youngsters knobhead. It’s your erm ‘knowledgeable’ choices that stink the house out. I always have a little smile when I read ‘But Moyes sees them in training and knows what he’s doing’. 😄 We don’t trust him on the pitch and we certainly shouldn’t trust him at the Farm. It’s called favourites and yes his Desert Island Discs choices would be shite too.

Experience?

What opportunities?

I just dont understand how they don’t know where his fitness was. This is elite sport, where everything is measured & monitored by an army of support cast. He was so off the pace, that i just dont believe that wouldn’t have been noticed at finch farm. He ran like he was carrying a bag of spuds on his back. If it wasnt noticed, then id suggest the training intensity needs to be upped significantly.

I was very surprised that he never went to either Turkey, or back to Brazil, with both of those transfer windows closing later than the EPL window, which probably means there was another big issue behind the scenes, Mike?

Maybe he’s pencilled them in for the Newcastle game? Shite if we go out and back to the bench if we win. Why am I so cynical when it comes to David Moyes, and how he uses his squad?

Not that I pay much attention to Ferguson’s opinions, but I tend to believe that if Richi had really, really wanted to come back to us, he could have made it happen. He must have known the Spurs bridge was truly burned. De Zerbi certainly waved him off earlier this week, per Yahoo Sports: “Speaking ahead of Monday Night’s Premier League meeting with Coventry City, De Zerbi made his position clear. “It’s not my problem anymore,” the Italian told reporters. He said questions about Richarlison should be directed to chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange.”

When 1 or 2 can no longer stand after starting every game, it won’t be a case of giving them a chance, it will be a case of having no choice!! There’s a difference Dave !

Hi Mark, hope you’re well mate. Check out Toffee TV with Peds starting 11.. I would definitely go for that line up. Looking at it it’s so refreshing

i’ve just taken my ‘be careful what you wish for tablets’ and now i think we will win 4- nil…saka is injured ,arsenal will be knackered after the munich game. barry will get a hat trick (future ballon dor winner surely ! ) jimmy garner will ping one of his great free kicks into the top corner .our davie will play a blinder too making positive proactive substitutions at just the correct times (deffo not on 86 minutes) all of the other results will go our way too putting us into the champions league places – get your passports ready lads ! oh and gee wizz folks the friedkins are great too .. or maybe not and the above is a load of bollocks ?

Brilliant Mark 😂

He’d have Lamine Yamal on the bench – tit

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Match preview ? COYB

The crux of the matter is surely not whether the player can be blamed for his torrid debut, it is whether there is any pace left to recover because otherwise he is just too slow to ever be effective for us.

“Take their opportunities”….what opportunities is he on about?

What’s your bet tomorrow Ray?

Once in 23 years, I’ll give you that one.😁 What was the result? My memory is puddled with the Jamesons

Good price Ian. If you put a tenner on you get fuck all back😁 “A working mans” price. Lovely phrase dreamt up by a bookie to tempt the mug punters.

We’re playing the league champions at their own place, we’ll probably get duffed, and I’ve been offered a last minute ticket. Also it clashes with a romantic weekend in Bath that my missus has booked for us. So if anyone wants to go in my place it’s the Bath Plaza hotel, room 426 and her name is Joanne. UTFT

I see the surrender monkey`s are out in force

It still took a season for Baines, the most expensive buy to became a regular starter. I think he watched Lescott for a year before he decided to buy him, played him out of position for a year until he trusted Baines. I often wonder if his own playing career influences his decisions, started young, but never reached his full potential.

‘Be patient and seize there chance’, he keeps playing Johnson ahead of the two wingers, and he’s been so poor, he brought on Norgaard ahead of Hackney against Chelsea, when we needed a goal, and he was completely off the pace, and Moyes said the player apologised for his performance, even though it should have been Moyes taking the blame, which never happens so what chance have our younger players got, with a stubborn and conservative manager.

Because most PL clubs are happy to survive in the league and never go down. We’re one of them – literally all bar about 4 clubs are now also-rans, and happy with it. The days of actually pushing to win the league are over in my view. Some mid-table clubs might win a cup now & then, but the main goal is PL survival for most, with the occasional dalliance in Europe via league position. That’s it though, ambition stops there.

John – this new format won’t let me reply to you post (it’s stupid). But on the question of Dyche vs Moyes. I’ve watched every game under Moyes this time round bar a couple, and I would say that at times we play some decent stuff (at times). Overall it’s still not brilliant viewing, and some of our games have been painful to watch I agree. That said, it is, in my view, better football than under Dyche (and Allardyce). In my original post I’m not defending Moyes as such, just trying to paint a picture of where we re in terms of management and as a club. Of course this has all fallen over a bit since we’re now for sale again, but I don’t think Moyes will be here after this season.

Dinosaur davey. Been serving up the same dour football for years. This squad could play so much better but we never play with handbrake off. Away at Arsenal this weekend will be another negative team selection and a game of hoping to hang on to a point. Asking for youngsters to be patient, behave davey if they good enough age doesn’t matter. Soon as we move on from him in charge the better

Wolves last year at home definitely. Possibly forest away, but could be wrong on that one. Rohl played perhaps as a 10, but he ended up pretty flat if I remember rightly. Dibling and Mcneil on the wings.

I’m saying it again. The worst signing in a long time. Not good enough, injured, required a younger, English player to be sold to make room in the squad, didn’t need a player in his position anyway and failed to sign three players we did need whilst wasting time and energy on a 32 year old with no long term potential. Not just a bad signing in its own right, but also completely symbolic of the incompetent shambles that went on at our club this summer.

Knives to a gunfight will always be his legacy, John.

Haven’t read the posts yet but why is he talking to them through us? No explanation of current time management for the squad, just a ‘take yer chance lad, when you get it’. He fucking does this crap everytime there is a wobble in ownership. It is getting tiresome, Nimrod.

However, it is a tall ask to go to Arsenal with their superstar lineup and coach and get anything out of the game. It is Jay, but he played the same scared tactics against Ipswich mate

23-10-26 —————16-26pm. Jesus does Moyes think we’re bleedin daft— those four players he named were bought by him and none of them were teenagers and cost around £15M which wasn’t ckicken feed in those days— Harrison Armstrong brought him back from Preston and after an initial two or three games hardly played him and when he did he played him out of position. Davie your not talking to your media mates with this nonsense but to plenty of Everton fans who know the history you’re talking of — I doubt if you are influencing many of them with this rhetric.

Johnson’s took his chance though hasn’t he, made himself an indispensable member of the team with his goals, assists, lightning runs down the wing, excellent balls into the box, quick feet & trickery. Oh no !!

Dibling was given a chance and took it then was promptly benched, Moyes gaslighting the fans again.

As Ive said before my big criticism of Moyesy is his team selection and penchant for not losing a game as opposed to winning. However, it is a tall ask to go to Arsenal with their superstar lineup and coach and get anything out of the game. But it’s still 11 v 11 and we need to neutralize the difference in skill and every dog has their day. I would go for Jimmy Garner at RB which will give Hackney a chance to put his stamp on MF and will give us young legs to combat a class but hopefully tired Arsenal MF. We need pace and legs on the flanks and all though I am sure he that must be obeyed will not go this way I would play Dibling and George and move Grealish inside in place of KDH who has flattered to deceive so far this season. I would also consider putting Charlie up front in place of Barry who I think would be hopeless against Gabriel and Konsa in the hope that we have more chance of retaining the ball and linking up better although that might be too revolutionary.

Ian B, Has Moyes ever played a 4-3-3 ? I`m struggling to recall a game where he has

Arrogance at its finest Christy. A dour,miserable scottish presbyterian character.

We have a small squad. FACT. But he’s barely even using his subs, so does he just think all the others are not good enough? If that’s the case why buy them, why keep them if they are not good enough to start ? We could have 40 players but if he doesn’t think they are good enough what’s the point ?

Moyes by the sound of it is not going to drop Armstrong and put Hackney in his place, I think he should because there’s no creation coming from Harrison. There’s not much from any of them for that matter.

Lol….

James. Moyes is going nowhere until at least the club is sold. Hell have a new contract before the end of the season to ensure “stability” while they sell. You don’t hear Brighton, Bournemouth, villa etc talking about stability, they talk about ambitions. How many fuckin times we heard stability in that presser ????

Id take out Maitland Niles, and id probably take out Armstrong. Id play a flat 3 midfield of Hackney Dewesbury Hall & Garner. Id probably go with Obrien at right back, over Rohl, or keep Rohl in his position better. He cant get caught out too far up the pitch. Grealish, Barry & George wide right. Id try and get George as the counter attack ball to get behind them.

Groundhog Day. Maybe he should urge the senior players to improve the quality of their performances.

If you don`t give youngsters the platform, they are never going to show, what they have. A half game if they are lucky is not enough.
