I’m not defending him, but the video opens with a shot that misses over the bar, and then follows with a series of bad passes,nervous layoffs under minimal pressure, and a few lucky bounces. You’d expect a “welcome to” video to cherry pick things that make a player look good.

Then find a better video please. His hold up play is legendary, we've had 8 years and £21 million in wages off the basis of how good it is so there;s surely any amount of legit highlights reels of him spreading the play out wide and charging into the box to get on the end of the buildup his legendary hold up play contributes to so legendarily.
 



Anyone remember Michael Rickets? Scored 39 goals over two seasons, got an England cap before everyone agreed he was rubbish and he dropped a few divisions, all in the space of 3 years. In 8 seasons of top flight professional millionaire football DCL has not produced a single moment of skill remotely comparable to the universally agreed failure in the video above. Groupies: get me the highlights reel if you disagree.

The sign o f a cult is never associating blame to the person who is most responsible for the issue. It's not like Dom has a huge reason for being have a cult following.

Exactly, now Dyche has gone we will see the team unshackled from his hyper negative football philosophy.

Moyes has a huge job and especially in the final third but with time and support let's hope he can help the players to remember what attacking football is and build confidence and belief.
 

I’ve been one of Dom’s biggest supporters. I have defended him so much as I have always said we are a better team with him in it. I used to love how he battled, won headers, ran the channels and more importantly scored goals.

It would seem all that has gone and so has my patience with him. I am sick to death of seeing videos in training or before the season of him striking a ball with power and smashing it into the net. The reality is I have never seen a striker who physically seems unable to generate any power in a shot. His accuracy has gone, his power is none existent, and the things which I used to love about him he’s stopped doing or trying.

That chance the other night to make it 1-1 was just rubbish. Either side foot it across goal or put your foot through it. Don’t whatever you do tap it over. Just so so poor. I now think take 5/10m for him, try and get 15m for Beto and go and find a 20m striker quick. Don’t care who it is. Anyone. Go and find a youth player somewhere or go for Fellows, Adebayo, even Cannon (typical Everton I know) but at least he’s had a run of games now.

thanks Dom but it’s time you went.
 
Moyes seems to think we need to get him more chances and he will score maybe but going off this season its not many. Can see Beto doung the super sub Big Vic role
