• We’ve had some bad performances recently but today was a performance that really hurt. The team was poor much of the first half and then Röhl showed a bit of class to put us ahead. Perhaps the youngsters CAN be relied on. Then the team came out for the second half and just gave up, had real echoes of our relegation form. The defense has been abysmal of late, along with players that have shone for most of the season. The damage was done long before the third goal went in. I really hope the recruitment team has a good plan for the summer that is achievable so we’re not scrapping around for our 5th best choice in key positions. Arguably need two RBs, a LB, CB and a striker. Our current back four cannot be relied on in the event of a Branthwaite injury.rnrnThe last game is a dud now, please please give young lads like Dibling a chance, pointless playing the same old aging players with no future at the club. Btw Anzou must be gash or have a shocking attitude to not get in this 11....
  Dan Parker in “We messed up big time today”: Moyes rues Everton slump in damaging defeat to Sunderland
• Saint Daniel the Absent and Saint Angus the Silent had better put things right over the summer with their crack recruitment team. What message does it send that Saint Daniel has not been to a single game this season, could not pinpoint Liverpool on a map, was happily watching golf in Scotland when we were at home, and spends far more of his time and money on Roma and trying to buy an MLB or NFL 'franchise' - yuck, grimace. The saddest things yesterday were watching Seamus’s awful howler for the goal and the thin patches of people still in the stadium for his send-off. But that was the fault of Moyes and some players. The final conclusion about this awful mediocre season from the fans: loud loud booing and legging it to the exits. In other words: you f***ing shower don’t deserve out applause. I can’t find the right words, but Moyes’s face and expressions are just perfect for sad and bad times. Joe (20): if Moyes ran a restaurant it would be a Little Chef. Oh crap is that �...

• Chris (184), I didn’t think we were ‘swarming all over them’ at any stage today. We had periodic break-outs and occasionally extended periods of possession without really threatening overly much. Le Bris clearly had a plan worked out at half time and nothing that happened in the second half made it necessary for him to deviate from it. David Moyes did exactly what he does 99% of the time, which is stick to his long-term pattern....

• Terry (30), I’m with you. Too many fans just view players as some sort of robots who absolutely cannot be less than perfect.rnrnNdiaye is a player who goes and goes again, very rarely getting a break for either club or country. I get tired watching him, so I’d bet he’s been running on very nearly empty for the last month or so.rnrnAs someone posted the other week, give him some more teammates who can make his life easier - rather than necessitating that he has to be back six yards from goal trying to clear the ball (which he got to first but unfortunately could only hit it against Le Fee’s advancing instep) - and then judge him....
  Si Cooper in Will the real Iliman Ndiaye please stand up!
• I first said the following when Bobby Brown Shoes was the manager;rnrnCourtesy of Kenwright for decades almost all of entire squad at the times (plural - and even during Moyes mk. 1), very largely modest players who\'d believed they\'d realised their individual and collective limits without winning any sort of trophy (and from their point of view were bob-on), all seemingly decided not to grasp European qualification by falling way off the pace at the season\'s end, when with European qualification it may have have enabled OUR club to sign better players, to the cost of erstwhile first-teamers. rnrnThat was then, irrefutably.rnrnDoes Freidkin pay any attention to the very recent history of OUR club?rnrnWith Moyes mk 2 as his chosen one it appears not.rnrnAm I looking forward to next season? No, I\'m not, unless Friedkin displays a pair more or less immediately....

• Sean, you are extrapolating excessively from a very limited sample.rnrnThings you don’t / can’t know:rnrn1) How ‘bad’ Thomas Frank actually is. Has anyone done much better with the current Spurs squad since he left? If not, then you can’t simply pick and choose if it’s the manager or the players when it suits you. Likewise, you don’t have a scooby that he wouldn’t have had a better season with Brentford if he had stuck there.rnrn2) How well Iraeola would do with Beto and Barry or even if he would play them.rnrn3) Moyes is being forced to play those players by the owners....
