2nd half display probably about championship standard at best.. Tactics included
1st half we were decent in patches, but 2nd half😡
Our first game in hand has only resulted in a -3 in our goal difference. The other game in hand is against City.
There's going to be so much pressure on our games against Palace, Bournemouth, Leeds and Leicester because I can't see us getting anything out of anyone half decent.
Fab got quite a big hand on that, probably shoulda done better.
He is our manager, and a defensive manager at best, we’ll tonight has been a defensive embarrassment, no other words..
Dreadful performance
That’s what winds me up the most, Moyes seems bereft of a alternative…
The goals we conceded were bad, no excuses, but Moyes and his tactics are also at fault IMO
Honestly mate have ever posted anything positive?
You just trot out the old tired negative stuff
time after time.
Yeah that was a bad,bad defeat but it was unbelievable errors at the back that caused it.
At half time we were on top and Aguerd’s mistake killed us and Fabianski’s put us in the ground.
Because for all of those defensive abhorrations tonight, we created absolutely nothing from open play. Not a single shot on target that I can remember. The errors that the defence and 'keeper made were repeated across the pitch, but with less serious consequence.
That is the 20,000 ft version but in essence we started well and put some promising moves together going forward with some strong individual runs but we were undone by a series of defensive mistakes, I do not hold DM accountable for them but I do question the initial selection, (Soucek) and the subs, he tried to mix it up and I was cheered when Cornet came on with Ings but of course it was a false dawn, no change to the formation, Ings was up there on his own and guess what - he is NOT a lone striker.
The facts are the facts and in that shocking 2nd half we failed to land a glove on them and I feel sorry for Fabs, for the most part, he actually kept us in the game but he will be remembered for the howler
Is it just me, but I cannot fathom how Kehrer and “International Defender for Germany” end up in the same sentence
"Overall there were things in the game I was pleased with, we had more attempts than the Southampton game but didn't defend well at all."
On the home fans leaving early: "I would have left as well, but the players were working as hard as they could, their effort was fantastic."
That last part is a big worry.
Kehrer should never wear the claret and blue again, unless we can offload him to Villa.
It must be made clear in no uncertain terms to Fabianski that we are not a "playing out from the back" team and he should just boot it upfield.
Moyes has to go.
For 20 mins in the game ( 99% in 1st half we looked decent )
Fot the other 70 mins and additional time we were bad, in fact we were hopeless.
Individual errors, boring same old tactics from Moyes and giving away the ball at every other opportunity. I'd love to know how many times Paqueta did, because it seemed like most of the time.
For once Moyes had the chance to play Ings alongside Antonio who I thought was putting in a great shift, but no, Moyes knows best and makes 4 like for like substitutions.
This is where IMO Moyes does himself no favours and where he let's himself and our team down, his tactics are IMO non existent, he simply seems not to understand or point blank refuses, HE HAS TO GO NOW PLEASE.
This was a poor performance for most and Moyes has to take blame, along with the school boy perfromances from most defenders playing, it was a hammer horror house production at it's very best last night and for me things need to change quick if we want to change our fortunes for the better, there are other managers out there and even ones that wouldn't need buying from a club as such...
I'd be over the moon with Moyes leaving...... TODAY PLEASE..............
BUT It's over to those who know better than me now.....
Bring on Fulham
Paqueta is, also, fairly poor at anything we signed him to do. He puts himself about & wins tackles, enjoys his flicks & tricks but in terms of end product, there is nothing. Aguerd seems to get regularly called world class, yet he’s had as many poor games as good. Kehrer is one of the poorest players I have seen in some time, defensively, yet is currently our starting RB. Soucek has completely lost his game.
Moyes may not be getting the best out of the side but he has regularly got more than the best out of the side for the last two years.
As I said a few weeks ago, if you had two options, sell the entire group of last summers signings or keep them, most would cash them all back in.
All of the names you mentioned were signed by Moyes.
You can't blame the rubbish players whilst giving a free pass to the man that signed and coaches them.
