  • Eric, Spuds fans are amongst the most entitled egregious fans in football, globally. It’s hardly a reason not to think he wouldn’t do a good job. Mind you, Benham and his scouting network made his job much easier at Brentford. I can’t take another season of dithery Dave’s KITAP1 when we’re actually far better than that. He’s done a decent job, absolutely but it’s time to move this football club forward. For f***ing once...
    Nick Page in David Moyes accepts Jake O’Brien's red card
  • "If he has not got a predators instinct in the way that Patric is describing it by now, "He Never Will". " This. Either you have it or you don't. There's no indication Barry does. He is tall. But he has no pace, no foot quickness, no vertical jump. He doesn't appear a particularly good footballer with the ball at his feet. No amount of "He's getting used to top-league English football." is going to change those athletic or football deficiencies. I'd guess we're stuck with him at least thru next season. ...
    James Flynn in You Need to Mean Them, Barry!
  • Of course the players have to hold their hands up after a poor personal performance Ian. Who is at fault for the tactics and set up that has seen us score at a rate of just slightly over one goal per game during the two Moyes management eras ? ...
    John Collins in A penalty gift turns into a two goal defensive nightmare with O'Brien seeing red
  • John, it is the players failt when they gift goals, get themselves sent off, and don't take opportunities. Too many are happy to criticise the manager but let players off including the favourites. There was more than enough chances to put the game to bed & defend properly. If they cant, then they can forget ever winning trophies or being competitive in Europe. Those that failed last night, are usually the same weak players that fail regularly. Those player ratings are all too common for some. ...
    Ian Bennett in A penalty gift turns into a two goal defensive nightmare with O'Brien seeing red
  • Just the players fault? Or is he taking any blame...
    John Collins in Everton have only got themselves to blame, says David Moyes
  • We can look and pick and disect. Yes Barry was woeful (he is), but I also think Pickford (for both goals). As usual immobile for anything resembling a cross. He gets the plaudits for shot stopping but still costs us with crosses (we all remember Spurs at BMD)...
