The new manager hunt (was the Moyes thread) only 3 days to wait...

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Needs to go, this is now worse than anything Slav served up, at least he tried to go for it

Moyes had a chance at HT to make some changes as we’d just finished the half well, he could’ve put AC and Hernandez on and given it a go, if it didn’t happen and we get picked off so what

Instead he waits does nothing and the second half takes the same route as the first 30 then he makes subs when the game has gone

I’d love him to do well, but he’s a dinosaur

Have to agree

I know.ma y will say how its city and theyve done that to most teams

But the league format is everyone has to play each other twice...irs not like we are the only team to plsy Arsenal and City etc

Worst defence in the league...and im pretty much sure that we werent (officially) the worst when slav left

The team Moyes put out today was a joke
No surprise the only time we worried city was where we pressed high and actually had a go

I think he will stay

But i dont want him to

Slav we gave it a go last week and got picked off three times. Arsenal are no City and I think City would have got a few more than they did due to their pace and once we lost the ball we would have been yards behind them.
Giving it a go when there's nothing at stake is one thing but with goal difference possibly being the deciding factor it's a risk not worth taking imo

Louis van Gaal when talking about returning to management: “I have an offer that I almost can’t refuse.”

At Southampton...

My real concern is who in their right mind would want to work for G&S?

Fortuneseeker

buffy,

It's all about the money. ;ok

OldCastleSwift

Ouch

Fortuneseeker

Just look what has happened to two, and in the near future all three, of those teams. ;doh

Up to a point i’d agree Fortune, but here we are talking of Sullivan...

Yeoldhammer

The problems are there to see.

The team is below average and so is the manager.

Yup, those who wish for relegation and a sort out should be very, very careful what they wish for indeed.

thornburyiron

Main problem is our defence is poor but gets no help from our midfield which must be the worst in the prem on current form.

ClaretandBlueforLife

Don’t think things have been great under Moyes, but feel thing are but than under the clueless Bilic. He should get another season and a summer transfer window and hopefully players we go for then will come.

MunichHammer

I would like him to stay. He now knows the players he has and will know what changes to the squad he wants to implement. Give him a whole season.

Any new manager will have a bunch of absent and unknown players. Once they come back it will be close to the end of the transfer window and will end up with a patchwork squad once again.

It seems to me that Moyes is not afraid of playing youth. Would we have seen Fernandez or Rice under Bilic?

Moyes does not deserve another season. He is not new to the league at all so that can’t be an excuse. His choices on a number of occasions have been bewildering. We have a terrible defence - and a win percentage worse than even grant or macari.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Imagine where we would be without Arnautovic.......

Still think we will be safe this season....but G&S may never recover from what they've done to the club

That defensive record is absolutely abysmal....Shocking

baracks_a_hammer

And instead of signing a defensive midfielder we singed hugill (who we don’t play) and Evra - it’s a competition as to who is the most inept - our owners or our manager

thornburyiron

If you think back to the beginning of January it was Moyes who said he wanted 3 or 4 players if possible but a minimum of 2 in key positions. It didn't happen and I doubt it was his fault. I think he should get at least a season but the club must do its best to ensure he gets the players he wants.

baracks_a_hammer

That’s as maybe however someone like chris hughton hasn’t exactly had an open chequebook to strengthen his squad, yet he hasn’t made a pig’s ear of it all like Moyes has.

Fortuneseeker

One of my main concerns is his inability to play Hernandez on a regular basis. When you have such a poor defence you need a few people at the other end of the pitch to score some goals. If he stays I believe he will do what he did at Manchester United & Iet him leave in the Summer which will be very disappointing as Moyes will need to replace him with somebody and I am not sure if he will be anywhere as good as him.

PrestonHammer

I really thought he would do a good job, I even thought he would push us into the top ten. How wrong was I?

On the one hand I don't think it's all his fault but on the other, I don't think he has helped himself. The thing is, if we do get rid of him I can see our owners taking up most of the summer trying to convince someone to manage us and then not being able to bring the required players to sign before the season starts.

EXETERHAMMER

If Moyes keeps us up he will have achieved what he was signed up to do. That doesn't mean I think he should have a new contract.

I still miss Slav.

Fortuneseeker

This is NOT a case for keeping Moyes but we have missed the spine of a team over several weeks in no Reid, Obiang or Carroll, the last one being less of a factor as he hardly plays. I am not going to open up the old can of worms about how we "try" to complete transfers but surely people must see it is relevant.

Cuz1

I’m undecided again now it’s the tactical side that bothers me always seems to late after the horse as bolted but at the same token unless someone is lined up already sorting out transfers why get rid because this season we maybe lucky and stay up but the luck won’t always last we are where we are for a reason the whole club is in a mess simples

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

He brought on the subs at 4-1 down....

How were we ever going to turn it around at that stage

He isnt proactive with his subs even when he gets the first XI wrong

jay_in_cpt

Moyes must go at end of season IMO
He has done very little to suggest otherwise , are we any better off at the moment since Slav, don't think so, re finding Arnie upfront, more luck than judgement IMO .
It's a no brainer for me.. It's a big ;wave

BubblesNeverDies

Not in defence of Moyes, but there needs to be a little perspective. City have been doing this to almost every team and nobody expected anything from this game. However, imagine being a Leicester fan and having Palace put 5 goals past you.

ASLEFshrugged

If Moyes goes who would replace him? Benitez has confirmed he's negotiating a new contract with Newcastle and I don't imagine Howe or any other current Premier League manager would want to leave their current jobs.

Swansea put four past us too. It’s not like this was a one off. The city game was just the latest on a line, imo. For a team that starts with 5 defenders and 4 midfielders in the lineup we are incapable of defending, which is why I don’t understand why he persists with safety first.
