Fans of a certain age see the moyes era as some sort of success. Like Neville southall said the philosophy of thinking 10th was fine started the slide

Sadly, this is true.
It's why I find it maddening when people criticise the club and managers for playing strong teams in the cups. They are literally our only opportunity to win anything and even then, with the squads of the state owned clubs, it's a long shot. I'd be over the moon with a league cup victory.
Then why did he buy Defour and Cornet? They don’t fit Dycheball but he wanted to switch it up and have different options.
A lot of managers get bad reps because they play a certain way to grind results. Same with Moyes to be fair, we can’t say it was all terrible football when we had Arteta, Pienaar, Baines doing bits… but then of course there was a time Allardyce had Okocha and Djourkaeff and he played the worst Everton football I’ve ever seen so who knows what’ll happen
We literally are? Dom 6'2", Doucoure 6'1"?

I agree. The trouble is that the 'scum six' or whatever you want to call them, pulled the ladder away from any team that wants to challenge them with the Profit & Sustainability rules. Stability is the better than extinction at the moment IMO.

I think he's doing a good job and we're on track to finish midtable. I actually think that we'll stay up pretty comfortably enough as well.

Beat Fulham in the league cup.
If we get lucky with Boro or Port Vale (i think) and win
Anything can happen in the final.
I dont put much weight into what football fans say.
People have been telling me for months that Dyche performed a miracle keeping us up last season.

You think Doucoure is playing striker? oh no bro, oh no.
Please tell us where you think we should have finished with the squad (and player availability) we had last season, in your ever so humble opinion. Thank you.
You think Dyche played a different way at Burnley?? Oh no bro, oh no

I’ll be amazed if Villa become a consistent CL qualifying team. Emery is a good manager and they’ve had a lot of money thrown at that squad but if FFP stays in place they basically have to make it this year or it will be selling players time for 3 years.
Brighton had a good season last season, have a decent manager, and have sold some players for big numbers but it’s been one good season. The rest of the time they’ve been battling in the bottom half. It’s a huge jump for them to move to winning even one trophy never mind establishing themselves as a powerhouse of the game.
Brighton could put all the talent De Zerbi has with all their hidden gems the recruitment team find into winning the europa league and will still probably find that an unarsed Klopp or Ten Hag will probably win it playing their B teams all the way up until the final.
These top 6 clubs are now so big that it’s almost impossible for them to fail. Everything is set up for their advantage from FFP to commercial deals to wage bills to the fixture list, everything. Chelsea can finish mid table and top players across Europe are queueing up to join them, United can be rubbish for best part of a decade and can still attract pretty much any player they want. Spurs can buy our best player at a decent rate and then just shove him on the bench. They are nuclear powers in a league where everyone else is operating a catapult.

I can't say I followed them much but I do remember one of his sides playing us off the park..
