David Moyes

[Robioto]

BBC sport has gone from a fairly decent source of football news and balance to a quasi social media / tabloid / click bait platform that is more biased and imbalanced than ever in the last 5 years or so. The website and app even look like a half baked social media app / website. I deleted it from my phone a few months ago, it's absolute gutter tier now.

Funny how Hayden Hackney is regarded as being a youngster, at 24, whereas Charlie Alcaraz is six months younger than him, and not really talked about as a youngster.

Also, that BBC article reads like a GCSE essay.

The argument that fans are arrogant to want changes like the end of last season when he played the same side over and over when it wasn’t working and if you want to talk about arrogance look how he treated the reporter who dared to ask if he got it wrong

Not sure that's the point he was making. It's more that we're all making up our opinions without all the facts and with significantly less insight into football, the players, etc etc than Moyes or anyone else at the top level.

Doesn't mean they can't be wrong or that we're not, but it does make some of the 'it's obvious' statements seem a bit silly, especially when it comes down to things directly tied to what goes on behind the scenes, and what individual players are treated like, or deserve or whatever.

What’s this obsession on here over the last year or so in needing all the facts before we have an opinion?

What facts do we need before we have an opinion on the manager?

It’s very strange. I’m not sure some people on here are quite as smart as they think they are.

If that isn't the pot calling the fucking kettle black

Don't straw man.

Of course you can have opinion, and without knowing all the facts, that's not what I said at all, and I'm pretty sure you know it.

I talked specifically about the arrogance and condescension of some fans towards managers, who comment as though they're actually something in the game, and know what's going on.

It's a forum, anyone can have reasoned opinion. Anyone who carries on as if they ARE Carlo however, and feel the need to ridicule actual professionals from behind their keyboard, then that's my issue.

Give him 3 years!

George was running on empty. Should have made the changes much earlier. Hackney and Dibling on and possibly Alcaraz in the false 9.
Johnson as usual made no impact.

I’d have brought Dibling on. Hackney was fine to kill the game. He’s a bit weak imo for what was still a frantic game, considering our dominance.

Alcaraz is far too much of a chaos merchant to be anywhere near a game we want to see out.

Hackney and Dibling in for Coventry though, please Davey.

[Risky]

I mean it was classic Moyes not doing anything proactively and hoping to hang on last 25 mins, a tactic which we've seen go wrong multiple times. But Newcastle were shite and it worked this time.

Fair play for the initial setup being OK and resulting in a really good first hour though. Although also got to credit the like of Rohl for making it work.

Who is he dropping for Hackney though?

Garner

Garner

I really doubt Moyes voluntarily drops Garner.

Garner

It's probably our strongest lineup with Hackney there and Garner moved to right back imo
