Playing that XI was madness, and I think he should be reprimanded for it....not a single football who was aware of the lineup thought it would work and it didn't
We deserved nothing from that, so a point isn't the end of the world.
But what a dreadful performance. Noble was an absolute passenger, Rice was poor, Bowen way off the pace. And does anyone else think Moyes doesn't rate, or never wanted, Benrahma? Seems like he could have made the difference today but didn't get on again.
Big picture - I am slightly surprised and pleased with our points haul and goal difference so far. Today - disappointing first half which Moyes must take responsibility for. The changes rescued a point but we should have had all three.
Two points dropped because of poor first half and wrong personnel selection. The problem is that we don't the pace for a 4-4-2 and often lack creativity for 3-5-2. Bowen works hard but looked jaded. Surely, Moyes can't play Rice, Soucek and Noble in the same team.
Considering how badly we played, and how awful the team selection was, and how praised Brighton were on Sky, we came away with a 2-2 draw and one of their goals shouldn't have stood. The manager can walk away, say he wasn't pleased with the performance but was pleased with the determination, then deflect it onto VAR as we might have had 3 points had it done its job properly.
Which is basically what everyone said all throughout the transfer window, and yet the club decided not to do anything about it.
I might be wrong but to be honest I don’t recall Masuaku being discussed as critical to our success during the transfer window It wasn’t until we changed formation and started to get some results that he became so crucial.

Dreadful starting line-up that set the tone for the kind of game it was going to be.
I'm so angry.
Blame lays squarely at his door
Glad we got a point but Moyes just messed it up

Shocking, absolutely fuming
2nd time in recent weeks that VAR hasn't ruled out completely wrong goals against us.
But what a dreadful performance. Noble was an absolute passenger, Rice was poor, Bowen way off the pace. And does anyone else think Moyes doesn't rate, or never wanted, Benrahma? Seems like he could have made the difference today but didn't get on again.
Everybody could see it was wrong, negative, laboured
Basically handed Brighton points from that game
You can rule it out for the blatant shirt tug or the handball, your call
Can't see us getting anything out of Southampton on Tuesday. Our good start has stagnated but I don't expect any reinforcements next month.
