The Mail Bag

No Tactical Nous

Team selection crap, Cahill was fit and left out according to Tiny Tim himself. No creativity in central midfield and Arteta did little. Only Osman and Lescott showed any creativity. The result: one shot on target and that from Hyypia...

Moyes has no tactical nous. The only time we played well was after Hibbert's sending off when Davey boy was working out what to do and wasn't shouting instructions, letting the players play their natural game. This shows the banality of Moyes's approach; after the first 15 minutes when we got the runaround he changed his tactics to do what? Attack the RS and try and score goals? You must be joking, tactics changed to stop them playing and shut up shop. Hoofball.

For five or ten minutes after the sending off we attacked them and run them ragged. The side they put out yesterday was there for the taking ? no pace at the back and little or no confidence. Why for fuck's sake didn't Moyes start the match tearing into them?

Clattenberg had a shit game but was it last year that Poll ignored two fouls in the build up to two of the three goals scored and missed two penalties Liverpool should have had? What goes around comes around, you tend to get what you deserve and Moyes doesn't deserve much.

Cahill would declare himself fit to play if he only had one leg. He’s only been training this week. Throw him into a derby match? Would have been crazy and risked him being out for ages again.

Grow up. Fool.

Apparently, we paid £11.5 Million for a player called 'Yakubu', has anyone seen him anywhere? He is in the team sheets in the Sunday papers, but I can't for the life of me find any evidence of him!

am not a Moyes fan but you cant blame him for yesterdays defeat some poor decision making from Hibbert again cost us the game.After the first fifteen minutes we settled down and looked the most likely to score and once in front were never going to lose,if anything we were likely to score again till soft arse let the ball bounce(for the second time in the game)on the half way line,the corrupt refereeing just compounded it.

The move which led to the corner wich gave the goal started with Howard rolling the ball out to his fullback which was thereafter PASSED along the GROUND. As it gave such a result why was it not attemted more often?Why the long and hopfull instead of the art of football? Cahill was not concidered.Moyess thinks that others are scared of him.Ha!
