So we've lost 6 games this season...

West Brom (A), Reading (A), Chelsea (H), Man United (A), Norwich (A) and now Sunderland (A)..

One of those teams is relegated, two others are still battling to save themselves from getting relegated, another is a mid table side then two are sides above us.
Only two better sides have beat us this year. TWO! Thats pissed me off.
 
Why, when chasing a game does Moyes tell his 2 CMs including an AM in the form of Barkley to sit on half way and shield the back 4? There was such a ridiculous gap between our front 4/5 and our CMs which allowed Sunderland to mop up every single second ball without even trying.

Also, why can't our players head the ball? Every single match, every player (bar Chebes and occasionally Felli) can't pass a header. Can they not afford the right piece of equipment in the gym? Baffling.

Di Canio got his tactics spot on. If you put pressure on Moyes teams we invariably play backwards or lose the ball. I wonder why every team hasn't realised this by now. Our tempo is slower than an arthritic granny chasing down a bus so you don't even have to work very hard to pressure us.
 
most players were off form Felli & Victor gave it there all Baines cock up just made it a 1-0 win for them our best chance was from on of there players naff back pass - that says it all Barkley should have started SP was crass yet again!
 
It's out of our hands now, didn't surprise me that we lost today, credit Sunderland with their defence but I actually thought with the run we've had we were looking better as a team. Against Arsenal we looked fearless, today we looked like we **** ourselves, what was up with them today?

The team selection wasn't too bad until you get to the end of the game. Plenty of under par performances from players we'd all be happy to see on the team sheet. I accept that hoofing isn't the answer and very rarely is it and I can't understand his lack of desire to change things. I want to see the manager hedge his bets rather than recoil into his shell as much as anyone, but it was so poor from those on the pitch as well. Moyes isn't entirely culpable, although his inability to act decisively has cost us.

So can you see why I find it outrageous that he sits back and says "I'll see how we go" about his contract?

It's his job to make sure we do well. If we don't, he's failing. It's insane.

Someone nailed it above. Moyes is the perfect manager for a board who invest nothing because he'll always keep you treading water, but if you want a manager who will win things - or even threaten to compete in big games - you need to look elsewhere.

Ultimate blame lies with the charlatan Kenwright, but Moyes is DEFINITELY not without blame for performances like today that occur far, far too often when the pressure is on.

I think what has annoyed me here is that Sunderland were sh*t too.

Di Canio didnt do anything masterful, or good. They just wanted it more.

Which is disgraceful on our part.

Because we're not expected to win, so we go in as the underdogs with no pressure on.

As soon as the pressure IS on, we fold like a stack of cards in the wind.
 
It was crap, and there wasn't nothing we could do to change it.

Look at the bench, a misfiring striker who doesn't look like he'll score again, together with Naismith and a young lad in Barkley who we can't rely on. The depth just isn't for us if things aren't going to plan.

Mirallas, Pienaar and Osman were all dreadful. Not an ounce of creativity between them.
 
I don't know why Moyes feels the need to change things about so much, we had the better of Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday so why change things about today!!

If we play with the same team, shape and philosophy today I'm convinced we win.
