Can't Win ... Won't Win!

We have always played better at a high tempo and when we go at teams. We actually started like that against West Brom until we went a goal down and then we became submissive. We have got the ability and players to win these games ? perhaps it is Moyes 'bringing' them down.

I had heard he liked to use psychology, but needs the right type. At the start of the season he's talking about winning the league. What does he say behind closed doors?

Great to have you back. I have to agree with almost everything you say, think it is time for the great scotsman to hang up his boots, move along and let us try to push on in a new era. 9 years is a long time.

I know everyone will say you need to keep a manager, let him build. Not really, look at Spurs, Rednapp comes in, changes the metality of the players and bang... through the group stages of CL.

In all my years of being on TW, your statement above is the most ridiculous, inaccurate and shite comment I have ever read. Words fail me!! You have to be kidding.

Do you not like Moyes ?

He came on against Chelsea and got the equalizer only to hear Moyes later say that he "cost us the win" because he turned two defenders and took a shot instead of passing to someone in a better position. Not a word about Neville fucking up and needlessly gifting a goal to the opposition though. Guess that had no bearing on the result?

Never a word about Saha putting in yet another shit static shift every Saturday or Arteta playing like a drain and getting himself needlessly sent off, or Howard dropping another game changing clanger. There seem to be certain players Moyes deems above reproach.

8½ years of the same tired old tactics with no Plan B whatsoever. These players are capable of playing good attacking football! If we finish outside Europe, he should be sacked.

When Cahill goes in January, why not try it out, David? Yes, I know, you still have faith that Saha/Yakubu will eventually score!

Personally I would pick the following team against the pie eaters:-
Howard,
Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines,
Pienaar, Rodwell, Fellaini, Coleman,
Cahill,
Beckford,
Subs;
Mucha, Heitinga, Duffy, Bilyaletdinov, Gueye, Yakubu, Silva.

You will all probably slate me but I think that team could mash the pie men!

Oh! and shudders just went down my spine as I went on the OS and saw headlines "Another 400 for Moyes"... just the thought of it really makes me unwell!!!

And by the way, Cahill is shite. ALL he does is score goals, work hard, wind up the opposition, encourage his teammates, and prove invaluable at defending set pieces. Oh, and he seems like a decent, down-to-earth bloke. But besides all that he does nothing.

And some of you idiots have the nerve to slag Moyes for his team selections. Ludicrous!

He can't be used on the right or left of CM because he never runs at, past or around defenders. Why, I don't know... he's quick and strong. I'm sure he did it for Millwall in the semi-final but that was it, he's never done it for us. All his goals come from headers, not one I can remember from outside the box, I'm also struggling to think of any outside the 6-yard box!

Beckford won't be effective up front on his own or with Cahill, you need to be world class to do that job effectively on your own consistently and score goals... think Drigba, Rooney, Torres. So if Moyes plays Beckford with a true Centre Forward, ie, Yak, what does he do with Cahill???

That is the "problem" I was trying to articulate... poorly, granted. Answers on a postcard.

He tends to go sideways or backwards too often, or give the ball straight back to the player passing to him. He rarely ever turns and runs at the opposition's midfield or defenders, creating space for others, and after an hour is blowing bubbles from running between MF and CF. Moyes then doesn't take him off but instead picks out Coleman or someone else less senior, who invariably is still playing well and effective.

Cahill then hangs around the box when we are pushing for an equalizer late on because he is knackered, and sometimes scores; everyone then says how great Cahill is and that without him we wouldn't score any goals at all... Bollox.
