• Paul @ 109, I laughed at that one. Start with “I don’t like Moyes and didn’t want him back, but…here’s why he is doing a great job in the circumstances.” Then, throw in some random data points you found on google that have no relevance to the reality of our performances or league position. When challenged, pivot to “what, he is not doing well and the data proves the opposite of what I wrote? Despite how it looks, we are saying something similar so read my post again through the lens of me saying the same thing as you and coming to the opposite conclusion.” Finally, add a sprinkle of “the players are not good enough”, a pinch of “hiring a new manager is risky, look at Franks” and 100g of “not one of the young players must not be doing enough in training”.

• Emery and Moyes are not similar at all.rnrnEmery plays quite a rigid formation with quick transtions, but his teams do dominate possession when needed through his central midfielders. He does like his wide attacking players to come inside and get numbers in the centre to run patterns of play.rnrnMoyes is defensively solid (apart from the last 2 months!), but hs team plays in vertical lines rather than possession based build up or patterns of play. And, of course, he loves a mid to low block.rnrnThere is also one other thing that separates them - bottle.rnrn5 Europa Leagues, 1 French Ligue 1, 2 French Cups, 1 French League Cup. Emery gets his team ready for the big games and they take their opportunity. rnrnMoyes shits the bed....
