As said results are more important than style... Ask blackpool fans!
My main problem is people use this unattractive football as a stick to beat moyes with. Whilst completely ignoring the fact that he doesn't always play like that... Last season was a game of two Halfs... First half being dull unattractive football whilst the 2nd half of the season we played some lovely football!?!?
Moyes fans clearly acknowledge the poor football but also have there eyes open to the fact he also plays good football (players permitting) whether u believe it right or wrong moyes chooses which way he's gonna go about it dependent on what sort of squad he has and tbf to him season on season we have ended up in good league positions..
Moyes haters completely ignore the times we are playing good stuff because it doesn't suit there agenda/argument. I'd have respect in their opinion if they admitted such things... And just said I want moyes out because of the dull football at times. I want a manager who try's to play attractive football over anything else regardless of what players we have, where we finish ect.
In which case I could completely understand you's wanting moyes replaced as he does not put style first. But to say he always plays defensive at all costs regardless of why players we have at any given period is bull!!
Rant over!!
He plays defensive cautious negative football in the first few months of the season and when the pressure is on for reasons only known to him.
He then plays decent attacking adventerous in the second half of the season and when the pressure is off for reasons only known to him.
With the former you tend to get broing untrractive football, with the latter you tend to get decent entertaining football. But most importantly the difference bweteen the 2 is results.
If we played like we do in the second half of the season in the first half we'd get better results therefor giving us more chance of actually achieving something come the end of the season.
For me the people moaning about the crappy unattractive football he often plays are moaning just as much at the results it brings as it does the entertainemt (or lack of).
And its not all to do with whatever players he has available, otherwise it wouldn't happen regularly.
Oh and don't gove me no excuse about Pienaar, we played plenty of unattractive unneffective football with him in the side, as well as Arteta and Yakubu. You can play crap football with good players and good football with crap players.
