• It is still very early days with regards Dibling. Moyes might be correct and he has began to start believing in himself (I personally thought he had a little bit of a spiky nature, when he was on the pitch without really doing anything in the last ever league game at Goodison?) but anyone who understands football, would also be aware that there is a major difference between playing in front of a fullback, who wants to run forward and join in, rather than playing in front of a fullback, who doesn’t do those things naturally because he his really a central defender.rnrnLet’s have it right, the only game where Dibling, looked remotely interested last season was against Forest away, when the much maligned Nathan Patterson, was playing behind him, imo.rnrnMoyes has signed some lovely footballers Brian, and his teams at times can play some very good football. But and it’s a very big but, because the manager has always had a very conservative nature and his teams have rarely bee...

• Mike #11, can you tell us why all the other managers we had that also didn't contribute to the trophy cabinet did not have any impact?...

• Andy @ 10, it\'s also become extremely tiresome reading posts about how wonderful Moyes is and how dare anyone criticize him.rnrnHe has done a steady job, no more, no less. His handling of Dibling was poor in many peoples opinion. rnrnLast season any criticism of Moyes was excused by many because of the turnover in players, the lack of transfer window time etc. Despite over £115 million bring spent. He needs time to integrate the new players into his squad we were told.rnrnAll well and good but it didn\'t excuse his lack of squad rotation, poor substitutions etc. rnrnThis season, after an admittedly good start, any criticism is deflected away by some due to lack of transfer activity and the small squad he has been left with. Again true.rnrnBut that still doesn\'t excuse his, so far, poor use of the squad, late and strange substitutions and a complete reluctance to use certain players. Not to mention the safety first tactics.rnrnNo complaining from me ...

• You can see the impact Moyes has had in his two stints - just look in the trophy cabinet 🥳...

• Well said Brain, I totally agree. It’s become tiresome and entirely predictable to read articles on TW infected with the anti Moyes narrative. It’s now reached the stage that anything our team does well isn't down to something Moyes has decided to do, but is an accidental consequence of something Moyes was forced to do due to an injury, or whatever other excuse the moaners on here come up with. An example in this article ‘ There has been plenty of criticism directed at Moyes for his handling of Dibling last season, and some of it is definitely fair. ’. Naturally the author doesn’t give an example of the fair criticism. Moyes has handled Dibling well and this season we may just be beginning to see the rewards of Moyes’ man management skills of Dibling, not that recognising and giving due credit for Moyes’s management skills will ever be a TW narrative....

• “Maybe it’s just too ingrained in his nature to be anything other than pragmatic and conservative”rnrnIm genuinely sick of this narrative. We’re talking about a manager who gave Rooney his debut at 16. Signed Arteta, Pienarr, Baines, Cahill, Stones, Lescott and so on. Who gave debuts to Osman, Barkely and Coleman. All lovely footballers. rnrnEven this time round he spent big on Dibling - he\'s been slow to use him but he signed him for christ sake. rnrnThis idea that Moyes is some sort of Dyche or Tony Pulis character is ridiculous. He organises a team well, but he is NOT anti football. He signs lovely footballers. ...
