Something pretty strange over these 5 matches Moyes has had in charge.
We've been - possession wise:
50% against Villa
35% against Spurs
31% against Brighton
47% against Leicester
58% against Bournemouth
The outlier for me is Leicester where we had a lot of possession of the ball but ran out winners.
The other 4 results, for me, are much more predictable of the way we've rolled for a while now: when we have a low % possession of the ball we play to our strengths and hand ourselves more of a chance of success. The Spurs and Brighton wins were typical of that. But when we get sucked into owning the ball a lot more we get caught out by counters more often than not, which is what happened against Villa and Bournemouth today.
I mean, that's just level one understanding of this team that I think most would accept. WTF was Moyes trying to achieve by possessing the ball so much when we dont have the players to play that game?
I do hope this feller is looking at this and learning that lesson. It's a pretty basic lesson to learn and one I'd expect him to have known in any case.
