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.

He keeps on producing the negative, frightened football your right Ian. It is inevitable. Well spotted

I would like to see Grealish play in the middle. As for George: he has rarely impressed me. Dibling even less so. We paid a lot of money for him, but whenever he played, he hardly posed any goal threat.

Jumpers for goal posts,

Moyes doesn’t have us down to take anything from this game. A point would be a huge bonus. He will set up to frustrate and sit deep, damage limitation. Move on. Expect nothing else.

Conte will be Uniteds next manager I think

Grealish is not fit. Based on inconsistent performances, I could also list Pickford, Garner, Branthwaite, Dewsbury-Hall, Maitland-Niles and Johnston. They will probably all play tomorrow.

After listening to Moyes press conference, the biggest load of shite I’ve heard in ages. Norgaard apologised for his performance against Chelsea, so it was his fault for coming on after about only 10 days training, not David’s. He talked about giving different players a chance, tell that to Geirge, Alcaraz and Dibling? Myers asked him about any injuries, he wouldn’t tell him, and when Julia asked about Branthwaite, which is a worry if he’s injured, he wouldn’t answer her either. What’s the point in having a prematch press conference, if you won’t answer straight forward questions?

Whilst I’m not overly confident, we did put up a decent performance down there last season. Only succumbed to 2 late goals, maybe this time we hold on? Having said that I can’t see us scoring and I won’t be holding my breath either.

What do you think would be the best set up and tactics, Ian?? Educate us philistines.

Inevitable chirping at Moyes. Moan about his negativity, and then just moan themselves. No wonder decent posters have quit this site Let’s hear who youd play, and then a realistic comment as to whether any of them can lay a glove on the Arsenal squad of 25. Proper debate. This is tough game, and the 6.5/1 odds prove it.

Iliman N’Diaye, has been a massive loss and we didn’t need to sell either player imo, Mark. I agree about keep ball, even though I love watching a team playing keep ball in certain area’s. I love watching good players keeping the ball and then exploiting the situation they have created, whereas we just don’t seem to have enough players with the willingness to run in behind, and we can all see this is something that Grealish, thrives on. Pienaar, was never as productive without Baines, Baines, was never as productive without Pienaar, and presently teams just know they’ve got to double up on Grealish, because his fullback, rarely tries to get past him

Arsenal could rest their entire first 11 and Doctor Negative would still shit his kex. They could go out tonight, get in at 4am, and still come away with a comfortable win. Knife to gunfight has already had his wife wash a few pairs of fresh kex for him. What’ll be the excuse tomorrow, Davey. The coward win probably start the unfit Norgaard. ‘Keep it tight’. F off, Moyes.

Praised when he’s doing okay, but when he’s not, please don’t blame David, because he just doesn’t have the players. My view is that the loss of N’Diaye, has been completely underestimated, and there are definitely things Moyes, could do to plug the other deficiencies, except maybe at centre forward, because it doesn’t look like anyone else can play there but Brennan Johnson, who hasn’t looked right since he signed.

Same with me with barely missing a game. Unfortunately or fortunately, I missed the Chelsea game, so I’d better watch this one…. Oh dear!

Love it.

I was upset to read today about “Moyes being left to work with a squad of just 18 outfield players, including solitary options in the striker, right-back and left-back positions.” But then I remembered that he only ever picks 10 of them anyway.

James, he has definitely delivered on the “nothing more”.

Oh Brian…how i wish that would come true, but we all know what is going to be his team choices and tactics, and it won’t be pretty.

100 % Jimmy. Hes off the pace in midfield mate at the moment. I agree he is the best option at right back at the minute. Just had a look the Greek kid is out injured thankfully,dont know if you have watched him Jimmy,hes a handfull mate

To preserve their PL status! Middle & lower table clubs see it as a way they stop teams coming up being competitive and taking their place. All just shit scared of relegation.

Yeah we need someone else on direct free kicks, KDH? Grealish? It’s not like Garner scores many.

No Paul, it’s Moyes who’s stopping there progress, he keep picking Johnson or Rohl on the right even though everyone apart from him can see it’s not working.

Yes Ndiayes absence is clear to see, his workrate getting back and winning the ball too, then carrying it, to get us back up the pitch. In fairness he wanted out Mark, but Johnson isn’t offering anything, so play George or Dibbling, If your players offering nothing, what are you losing changing him ?

I’ve been championing Garner at right back for a while, John. Not that I’m a fan of players playing out of position, but I am a fan of putting the best team out.

I’m with you, James. I’ve got a bit of decorating needs doing. I’ll check the scores at 5pm but won’t be expecting anything. Let’s hope we’re both surprised, eh!

No surprise to me, it was obvious he sees us a laughing stock who he can take the piss out of and booze all he wants and Moyes will say what a good lad he is with no repercussions.

Moyes league record v Arsenal away. P13 W0 D3 L10 F10 A29, absolutely embarrassing. We’ve scored the same amount of goals as games lost as well.

I see him just trying to get out with minimal damage. Usual, selection, Usual tactics, nothing unexpected, nothing new. We know what we’re going to get, Arsenal know what we’re going to do, see it going alot like last week, we probably won’t get anywhere near them. So why not spring a surprise? Try something different, take a chance on changes, nothing to lose everything to gain !

It doesn’t matter if Moyes reports any injuries; he just plays them anyway !

🙂

James, Do you think Moyes football is better than Dyche football? I cant see any difference tbh

While I agree with your post, Andy, it’s worth pointing out Moyes was only brought in to ‘steady the ship’ and nothing more. People have short memories because football repeats year on year, but it wasn’t long ago we were battling relegation every season, were in masses of debt/points deductions etc so we have improved from that perspective. We no longer have Dyche/Allardyce football bearing down on us. Moyes will be gone at the end of the season but he won’t get fired and will have performed his brief.

I think it was in something like the “Site Introduction” page which had a link saying contact us but I can’t be sure. Nightime here. I will have another look tomorrow. Cheers.

He wins us plenty of free kicks for James Garner to overhit/underhit numerous times per game.

We won’t get anything tomorrow. I’m probably not going to bother wasting my time watching it, which is rare for me as I barely ever miss a game. Arsenal are way better than us and both us & them know it. It’ll be knives to a gunfight as usual.
