More along the lines of subdue the crowd through the performance on the pitch which ultimately irritate us (the fans) and get people tetchy.

Nothing wrong or offensive with that to be fair as he was only trying to take advantage of what really occurs; fortunately however it didn't work.

If I was a Sunderland fan I'd be worried what squad they"ll have next year as the best will jump ship, while the rest are decrepit or mercenaries.

Ndong only a kid I think, seen him before looks better than that, didn't seen to have anyone to direct him there whole midfield had no legs to get about the pitch other than him, looked really on edge all game .

Moyes spent 13.6m on him or thereabouts though didn't he? He could've spent that far better maybe

If he is sacked by Sunderland he probably is done as a PL manager.

I somewhat agree with that thought as it has been a failure all around. At the same time though, Moyes could not have picked a worse job to go for in hindsight, no financial backing whatsoever and resorted to bringing in aging former players to have any remote chance of fighting relegation. On top of that they have had a huge injury crisis this season, losing quite a few players since August onwards which has stopped Moyes from being able to field a strongest 11. Considering they are currently without watmore, Cattermole, Anichebe and McNair all at the same time that is bound to have a big effect, not to mention Pickford only just returning at the weekend.

I suppose from his perspective it is fustrating to see him fail so badly with the tools he has. even the midfielder he signed in the summer has had injuries and AFCON, but again he was promised 5 players that day he signed him,and the board let him down again. If anything, Moyes this season is a prime reason why Sunderland should be relegated now, no backing, left out to dry and to be the fall guy when it all goes wrong, despite Moyes never really having a fighting chance there.

Not really mate, look at other managers about with worst records still jumping in and out of PL jobs, Allardyce, Pardew, Pullis,McLaren etc, and they're just the one's I quickly thought of there will be others aswell on the merry go round.

To be fair though, Big Sam and Pullis have a decent premiership cv depending on what your priorities are.

I think it is a little unfair to compare players to Gueye in terms of price tags. We signed Gueye on the basis that a worse team took a gamble on him and decided to put in a release clause lower than what they signed him for. By rights, we should have paid similar amounts for him as the sunderland player but we got very lucky and signed the bargain of the season.

Nothing stopping sunderland going in for him when we did.
In fairness to moyes he was good at getting players for low lg players while at us
