Style of play

So what style of play do you expect to see from the Moyesaurus next season? Free flowing on the front foot pressing teams and creating chances from open play OR given the rumours that abound this time of year a team that sits deep(sound familiar)and scores from set pieces.

Given the rumours that Moyes really wants Maguire ffs and pressing for Ward Prowse i think we all no its the latter as he gets locked into his obsession of counter attacking footy with a big centrehalf to get onto the deadball situations that Moyes so loves and heavily relies on.

If and its a big If Scamacca stays he will once more be stuck up top on his own with little if any support which is a tragedy IMO and another striker that when he goes will for some reason or another start banging them in and Moyes will have to try and explain that one.

So do not expect to see Bowen/Benni(if he stays!)Barnes if we get him though more likely to get John than Harvey!....but do not expect any exciting free flowing football just the slow predictable stuff we have seen the past couple seasons.

Preseason friendlies mean and show nothing of whats to come except for the last one before the season starts thats when you will see the real tactics the Moyesaurus will employ and sadly we will be up that creek again pretty damn quickly.

"give me the tools and i'll finish the job" a famous Quote from Churchill well we have one tool we need shot of but it is not going to happen unless some stinking rich Quatari Sheik rocks up and we dont want that either what a club West Ham are eh talk about a conundrum.

to change style of football when he never even had a Plan B for when things weren't going well is tantamount to expecting politicians to start being honest. Neither will ever happen

Moyes does not have a creative bone in his body its just the tried and tested season in season out and Sullivan thinks it will be any different this season then he along with Biden belong in the senior living centre....Moyes still has a sundial on his wrist and the only tablet he knows about is senna!

Great post HG ,couldn't have summed it up better ,the match today was a typical dino outing , dont get me wrong ,a win is a win specially against the scum, but it has to be said but for our brill G K we wouldnt have one it ,im not sure but i think we only had one chance in the whole of the second half , a superb goal from scama ,
Invited them on for most of it .very frustraighting

The difference in squad quality was a factor. They had the majority of their 1st team out there and changed their entire 11 for the 2nd half. Moyes did his usual subs in the 2nd half, think he was confused he couldn't find Benrahma to haul off so dragged off both strikers instead!!
Scum's finishing was bang below average too. They really should have won by a landslide.

If that match today is a sign of things to come then its je da veu ,not sure how its spelt , but you get what i mean ,only for Richman s awful finishing and Fabs brilliance between the sticks we would have shipped about 6 , 3 great goals though , specially your sweetheart H G .let him go at our peril ,just needs better service.
