How many thrashings have we had this season. Sorry, but apart from the team, Moyes is to blame, to continually have it happen, there is something VERY wrong, no excuses IMO
City will know that playing us last game means goal difference, no matter how many, if it comes to it, will be no problem at all. If Chelsea, Fulham etc can manage 5 then there’s no limit other than time constraint, to how many City can get.
Way too many passengers, way too many championship level players.
Whole defence needs changing, we need two new starting CB. I still dont think Soucek is good enough, wasnt worth the new contract and needs to go as well, doesn't dominate or do anything in the middle of the park.
85m for Paqueta is daylight robbery i hope City pay it.
As best as he could, the Ref employed the mercy rule there,
We may have hit the bar three times so there exits a valid argument that the scoreline could have been much closer, but imo, for once the record books are going to accurately reflect that game.
The visible lack of passion was nothing short of disgraceful
Sky pundits calling us diabolical and disgraceful. That’s the fourth time we’ve shipped 5 this season. Added to that we’ve had a 6 and a couple of 4’s. I don’t think even the bottom three teams have had more heavy beatings than us this season. They may have lost more but we lose them in a big way.
I'll take the blame for this one. 🙈 I was sitting at the table following the Fulham match whilst doing some marking and we shipped five. Same again today, marking exams whilst following the match - five again. I will try not to do this in future.
Sounds like I should be glad I was driving a train for the whole match
I'll watch the highlights on MotD2 tonight and see how bad we were
Unfortunately the “highlights” will probably not reflect the horror show it really was, it is going to show their five goals and the three times we hit the bar so it may end up looking to the casual observer like a reasonably evenly balanced affair.
Moyes' tactics right now are the definition of insanity. Ings for Antonio does nothing. Soucek can't pass, JWP can. Johnson has speed and could support one of our doddery CBs. Leaves Emerson on the left instead of using a winger called Earthy. The players have lost faith partly because the system doesn't work for them. Rant paused....

Even terrible, doesn't describe this game.

And it most certainly wasn’t.
We've lost by 3 goals or more seven times this season, six away and one at home
4-1 Villa away
5-0 Fulham away
5-1 Liverpool away (Cup)
3-0 Man U away
6-0 Arsenal home
5-2 Palace away
5-0 Chelsea away
We've only won by 3 goals or more twice, Wolves at home and Freiberg home Round of 16
Well Moyes has achieved miracles then, getting them to top half finish and QF of Europa League.
We should definitely keep him, because I hate being relegated.
