David Moyes - Tactically Inept

[chriswho]

I love moyes and think he is one of the greatest assets our club has and i hate thinking about where wed be without him. That being said, sometimes he definetly gets it wrong and it can be frustrating.

When I saw we were starting nev and heitinga in midfield, I was frustrated. I hoped being down at halftime, moyes would need to make a change and hoped he would pull off nev and bring on Guaye (moving Osman In the middle, where he is great). I think he was even considering it right up until we scored (he was warming up). Once it was tied again, I knew he wouldn't make an offensive move like that, and that is when I started seeing all that people complain about on here.

Our first sub was bringing guaye on, sweet, but for who? For drenthe?! What? Why pull off our spark plug and the only real offensive playmaker? He hadn't had a great day but no big mistakes needing punishment.

I know everyone is wondering why Cahill started. I was with them initially, until I heard the announcers talking about cahill's scoring record against them. Apparently he has made a habit of making Sunderland his bitch. Moyes plan was all making sense. He sat Cahill last week to get him riled up and make sure he knows his form needs improvement. Then we get Sunderland, perfect team to unleash a renewed Cahill on. In moyes mind, this was going to be the perfect script to get Cahill on track again. Sadly, Cahill just didn't do it. Moyes kept waiting until he just had no choice, so he pulls Cahill off, and replaces him with... What? Not Barkley?

Ugh. Come on moyes. We can do better. The points wre there for us today and we all know it.

Changes should of been made earlier today, Neville, Cahill and Saha should of all came off, and been replaced by the younger keen to impress trio of Gueye, Barkley and Velios.

 

[Roztitute]

He is way ridiculously defensive, effectively making him ****e because you need to score to win games, and even with his negative defensive tactics we're still not keeping clean sheets.

Pity we're too poor to sack him.

 

[Bigmaclad]

There's too many long paragraphs going on here, can't we keep it short and snappy for the lazy ones of us?

 

[ijjysmith]

Not to add fuel to the fire, but Stoke just took Woodgate off and bought Pennant on.

I don't want either player but I do want subs like that.

(yes I put it in the wrong thread first!)

You know it's been a bad day at the office when Goat's struggling.

I'm going to play devil's advocate and say perhaps he's not playing Barkley simply to not allow us to become dependent on him and/or spare us blues extra heartbreak when he is sold this transfer window or the next.

I'd buy into that theory. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if DM was keeping Barkley AND Rodwell fresh and uninjured for the cattle market in Jan. There's a tasty little 40 mill waiting to be picked up.
While you're at it Mr Moyes, why the don't you buy a few more over 30's and turn us into a real Championship outfit.

That's all off thread a bit.

We could only attract the best of a mediocre bag of managers. Martinez would be my pick because he's young and not a sweaty sock!

There will come a point, in adversity or otherwise, when Moyes will go. He will have had a lengthy tenure at the helm, and unlike other managers who have kept their jobs for the same period, will have just kept us alive. He will not bring us silverware. My view is he should move on at the end of the season. Quite honestly, this is one of those woeful periods in our history that I would rather not go through again. I am afraid we need a fresh start- with new owners and new manager from August 2012

He stole them off the Yak didn't he? Selfish [Poor language removed]. Now he's feeding up on the chicken.

I think it's a certainty that Yakubu was drawn to the finger lickin' perks of the job at Blackburn more than anything else!

Hahaha, God I know he became a bit of a waster and didn't play a lot for us before he left (not gonna dwell on those reasons) but I sure as hell miss the feller. My old man was wanting to get rid of him from the moment we bought him, delighted in seeing him at the dinner table on xmas day to tell him how many goals he'd scored this season.
