He didn’t sound very hopeful. No new recruits, no injured players soon to return.

Pray for Everton.

This is not a criticism of moyes btw.

Garner is fit, so hopefully he’ll start and bring more pace and an attacking threat from midfield instead of Doucoure, and Patterson has to start, Young can’t play two games in four days, and offers nothing going forward.

He does look a worried man and I cant say I blame him, we are in trouble whichever way you look at it.

"A rabbit in the headlights" springs to mind when you see that photo.

we just need one player, a good player to replace Doucoure. A playmaker. I think that would be transformative. Even on loan, from a R Madrid, or Man United. A quality player who can stroke the ball around.

What am going to do ? Oh I know, get paid £12m, whatever happens !

For a moment, right at the start when he was asked about Garner, I thought he was going to say 'Jimmy's back on the grass'.

Hoping, by him talking about crosses into the box, that Patterson gets a game against Spurs. I know I sound like a stuck record.

He looked like a Manager about to get the sack in his post press conference after the Villa game, such was his demeanor.
I think he realized properly what has been happening all season and I am sure his mood was out of frustration.
DCL and Harrison have to go out of the starting line up as they both offer nothing to their supposed roles.
The injured players cant return soon enough, and a couple of new signings by the end of the window and bring February with a reset.

Yes Jimmy Carr,

Me too, though I'm sure he would have added that it is purely medicinal, and he has a prescription for it!

Mainly to deal with all the pain from the knives stuck in his back, and from being blamed for not being an international class RM, CM and RB all rolled into one package!

If the 3 he replaced start against Spurs I'll not be watching on Sunday. Harrison, Young (although he's done well recently) and DCL simply should not be anywhere near the first 11. I'd still play Dixon over Young and be looking to the future.

It was no great surprise the result against villa.

So many home games with no reward has become commonplace over the last few seasons.

You need goals to win games even one on some occasions but nothing has changed in the finishing nor the creativity dept.

Signings are crucial on offence otherwise all the good efforts elsewhere are of no use.

Ndiaye is the best of a bad bunch but just doesn't get used as much as he should.

Moyes has problems to resolve quickly if we are to get clear of the bottom three. With DCL and Beto doing very little and Chermitti almost a no show how can we ever get a goal or two.

Surely TFG are going to sign some cheques soon otherwise just sacking Dyche will have been of little conseqence.

As I mentioned on another post, surely he must have done his homework on the standard of the players he was signing up to manage? If it gets too much he can always walk away. He can't be that skint.

Liked the comment about the championship.. we can get some good players that can grow and at same time we have some players that would fit perfectly in that league..

U21s getting dominated by Leeds at home. 1 down within 30 seconds, 2 after 8 minutes. Could be a lot more already. Leeds just walking through them.

We have to be wary about Son and Kulacheski so I would certainly not risk Dixon nor Patterson. I would be tempted to play Garner there with Patterson in front of him and Tell Mykolenko just to do a man to man marking on Kulacheski with Harrison in front of him keeping Pedro quiet.

Their MF is quite depleted at the moment so chance for Harrison Armstrong, Ndiaye and Beto to break them down through the middle with Malanga and Gana keeping it tight behind them.

Go 5-3-2 and push Ndiaye up alongside DCL. Paterson at RB/RWB and I’d even bring Keane into the back 3 with Tarks and Branthwaite.

Then drop Doucs and put Harrison Armstrong in that position

This is partly tongue in cheek, as I never thought I’d say it, but we’re badly missing McNeill because……….he fucking shoots.
