Is this the weekend Moyes stumbles upon his best 11?

Feels like it would always happen "by accident" i.e. enforced through injury or suspension during his first spell

Reckon Moyes isn't having Barry and Dibling both jumping into the starting 11.

Unfair to judge him based on last night given the abysmal team selection.

He needs opportunities to see if he can offer more than Beto alongside the first 11. Not a half baked attempt at giving fringe players a single game against PL opposition

I'm not saying we should sack him lol.

But following that great start it looks like we've reverted to Moyes mk1

Can see Moyes part 2 petering out with a whimper based on the last 2 results.

Still making the same mistakes as 10-15 years ago

I don't think we're going to be seeing him in a midfield 3 this season, we don't have the wing backs to give us width that would then allow Ndiaye and Grealish to play narrower. So those 2 are going to be doing more touchline hugging than is optimal

If we won the league with 80 points playing decent but not amazing football and we had another season where we scored 90 points consistently played beautiful football but finished second, which one would be the better season?

2nd best after we finished 4th and got CL under Moyes in 04-05

Yeah Cleary is decent enough.

And I've never trusted Ram's opinions since he said we'd be absolutely fine under Benitez

Hopefully every performance of his isn't going to be micro-analysed through a lens of PSR profit.

Hope he's good at flick ons

They all play in the same spaces, it was always going to Ndiaye that gets shoved out of position

He's gone from 'significant influence' to 'undisputed final say' now. The sentence before about the committee only containing those 3 and no talent ID specialist is equally worrying. Do you reckon Kinnear, Hammond and Moyes are pouring over the data from hundreds of players or are they going with w...

Is Moyes now desperate for a CB who is decent on the ball?
