Basically, that's a 4-4-2 with two holding midfielders and the wingers pretty much playing as wide attackers, closer to a 4-2-4 than a traditional 4-4-2.
Adrian; Zabaleta Rice Ogbonna Cresswell; Noble Obiang; Antonio Lanzini; Arnie Hernandez
;hmm
But we need to find a way to play with a back 4
without being awful defensively
Arnie has given Moyes a lot of credit and come out saying he wants him to stay.
It worries me a lot that we're considering Moyes go with no (apparent) successor lined up already, when he has got the best out of our best player and clearly has at least his support.
Fonseca
Emery
Benitez
Pellegrini
Dyche
What's 'scattergun'?
We have no idea how the board have decided to consider potential managers, or what criteria they are using.
They haven't come out and said anything (which I am assuming everyone is applauding.) Surely you aren't using meejah rumours to judge them?
for Rafa, or players ;puzzled
Not sure on Pellegrini don't think it would work.
Fonseca don't know much really.
The autonomy over transfers is key for me though. Give him money. Let him spend it.
Quite encouraged by this. Hopefully it's got some legs.
That's from yesterday and includes some quotes: The interesting part is the last line, "right now". ;hmm
'@SkySportsKeth'. I'd be surprised if Keith Downie would spell his name wrong in his own handle.
Just checked; his official handle is '@SkySports_Keith'
So yeah, no legs at all I suspect
Offers everything good about Moyes plus more
Wouldnt mind the shaktar guy he seems exciting
But im not feeling confident
;yercoat
I would welcome Rafa as a potential upgrade on Moyes, that being said imo this whole situation is a farce, we’ve not officially let Moyes go, there have been indications from him that his contract ended even though it was widely reported to be 2.5 years with a 6 month break, but nobody has actually initiated the break. Moyes is still around and seemingly having to apply for his own job in essence after talks.
All the while the owner of our great club is openly interviewing applicants at his house, jeez.
I think Moyes has probably done enough to warrant a crack at it, I’ve a sneaky feeling he could do okay, but he’s probably upset the regime with his leaks and mentality/culture comments, if he does stay let it be on his terms, so he can try and keep the ringmaster of this circus in check.
Otherwise Dave, walk away you’ve restored your reputation.
You wouldn't get very good odds betting against him as the source of the 'leak'.
