The return of David Moyes

[Harryflashman]

We watched some absolutely abysmal football under Moyes. Let’s not pretend otherwise. You could just as easy cherry pick some half decent goals scored under Dyche in that one Brighton game

Fixed it for you

 

[matty1878]

So he should be offered a long term deal then?

well he has been. doesn’t mean TFG will stick to it

 

[Efcjake]

This is overlooked and in my opinion you’re spot on.

The two seasons before he left, we played some really good stuff.

One of those including when we got dumped out of the FA Cup by a soon to be relegated Wigan who beat us 3-0 yeah.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

I'm guessing you didn't watch ndiaye yesterday if you think that. It's clear 3 or 4 new players are needed. But also some better tactical direction offensively could do wonders.

He looked knackered and faded badly. Would imagine he would look much better with half decent forward players and movement around him.
Still easily our best forward player

On the plus side this video doesn't need to be updated.

Yeah, not every game, come on be fair.

The ‘85 squad got dumped out of the league cup by Grimsby, off days happen.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Agreed but he did sign those attractive attacking players back in his day.

Seeing as we're nitpicking here, you mean Argentine forward Denis Stracqualursi, Dutch superstar Royston Drenthe, and naturally tricky Brazilian forward Jo, right?

Should have appointed the Wigan manager.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

We won a game 5:1 under Dyche as well.

 

[Efcjake]

Agreed but he did sign those attractive attacking players back in his day.

Is he going to be doing that in one January window and six months?

No, he isn't, so let's stop pretending that's relevant.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Fixed it for you

And Newcastle thank you Harry. How long was Moyes here? They probably have about the same decent goals to games managed ratio.

 

[AndyRJ]

Sure. I’m not disagreeing that Dyche played horrific football, just that for the most part, we played some atrocious stuff under Moyes with better players at his disposal.

Well, he didn't get his 'Dour Davey' moniker because of the scintilating brand of attacking football we used to play...

I'd have him over Dyche, but that's not saying much and he's far from being my first choice.

 

[Efcjake]

Should have appointed the Wigan manager.

Whatever happened to him.

Did anyone just hear the number 72 whispered on the wind?

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Imagine pulling off two decent full backs on the either side of Branthwaite and Tarkowski

 

[MikeH72]

Took him a while to get that team together. Do you think we have any of those kind of calibre players now?
N’Daiye maybe and Branthwaite. No one else comes close with this lot.

Anyone expecting anything other than a continuation of more pragmatic football under Moyes is in for a shock. Well, a disinterested yawn maybe.

Moyes’ football is pragmatic, which means he adapts his game plan based on the opposition and other factors. He has a plan of how to set up away to Arsenal and it’s different to the plan he sets up with at home to Leicester, the weeks training beforehand will be tailored towards these games.

Sean Dyche is not pragmatic, he’s just defensive. He only knows how to set up in a low block and hoof set pieces to the big lads at the back post. He has absolutely no idea how to adapt his game plan based on the opposition’s strengths and weaknesses. When plan A of camping everyone on the edge of the box and hoping to win a free kick in a dangerous position doesn’t work, he’s utterly stumped. He hasn’t worked on anything else during the week.

Once more for the people at the back. They are not comparable managers in any way.
