Moyes Out ( Released )

[Keep dreaming]

"Posted the same last year. Nothing has changed, except win don't win matches anymore. I'm fed up, we can do much better"

[RdUeSpSrEeLsLsed]

Moyes still has our best win ratio

[Steady]

Have we ever had a worse manager than Moyes or a worse captain than Rice? Avram Grant and Matthew Upson

[RdUeSpSrEeLsLsed]

People still think the players are behind Moyes. I don't am I wrong ?

[twoleftfeet]

""" have we ever had a worse manager "" Allardyce Grant Roeder Zola Curbishley You clearly don't follow West Ham."

[Vexed]

"Have we ever had a worse manager than Moyes or a worse captain than Rice? Moyes needs sacking tonight, well he needed sacking in September.... the useless cսnt."

[british is best]

We are every bit as bad on Sunday and got away with it . He's clearly lost the players surely even that imbecile dwarf has realised it now .

[aldgate]

That long diagonal ball was moyes main tactic at everton 20 years ago. He hasn't moved an inch forward tactically since

[Steady]

"I'd take Brendan Rodgers, Buck rogers or ted rogers (dusty bin) over Moyes"

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

FUCK OFF MOYES

FUCK OFF MOYES

"Moyes signed most of these players, Moyes trains them during the week and Moyes picks the team. Yes the players have to take some responsibility but ultimately it comes down to the manager and his decisions. The club need to have an emergency board meeting tonight and make the call to sack him because the performances against Brighton & Newcastle have been nothing short of disgraceful."

[Jim C]

"like most, if not all, have lost patience with Moyes and think he should be gone by now but you can't blame him for four absolutely diabolical mistakes. You can plan, talk and train all you like, if players make errors that a coach of an under 9's team would be furious with their team for making, then an absolute pasting is the only result your getting."

"It's just unbelievable how believable the situation is now. Many have known this outcome for months, 16 odd. So sad that Rice leaves like this."

"The dwarfenomics of not replacing the manager because 'there is no one else better available' and you refuse to spend money poaching one from another club, and at the same time spend 15m in January on a striker your manager doesn't know how to use."

[Stevethehammer]

"After spending the best part of 200 million surely any fan would expect the club to push on and at the very least continue to compete for the European places like the last 2 seasons. How fucking naive and stupid of us fans to think that. Of course we should have realised that we would be flirting with relegation, look like a team of strangers and play the worst kind of football seen at the stadium since we moved. I really hope we sack this fucking cսnt as soon as the season ends. Don't bring him home on the coach from Leicester however the season ends. Give him the Avram Grant treatment because as shit as he was, it was never the fault of the fans who travel up and down this country week in week out, been all over Europe to the ass end of places to support the team and this absolute prick of a manager, only to be told, when we are going through a rough patch, this is all your fault, like we are the ones who pick the team and continue to play Thomas Soucek."

[fraser]

I must have dreamt him saying we should be challenging at the top of the table all the time.

[Lee Trundle]

"David Moyes: ""I think the last two years have been the best West Ham have been in for a long time. If we are thinking that that's now what is expected all the time then I would probably say that's not correct expectations.""ù I wonder what he expects from a team who's got the 2nd highest average attendance in the league, and are the 3rd highest spenders in world football? Small time cսnt. I can't wait for him to fuck off."

"I quite enjoy the hoof ball to Antonio as it's like playing bingo as to how many touches he'll need to control it,usually get a full card from 1 to 6 touches every game."

[El Scorchio]

"Spot on RE: our alarmingly basic tactics. Added that it's all too easy for our opponents to play through us or come down our right hand side. You see it week after week after week. We are set up to be really defensive but we really aren't even that solid or disciplined. Dead right about hoof and run. Bowen's pace is the ONLY thing that's remotely saved us this season. He's our only out ball from the back, given how they've been asked to play. And it ONLY works because Bowen is fast and can go 70 yards time and again, and has the speed to get past the full back some of the time. Benrahma is asked to do the same particularly in the first half of games or at 0-0 but he's just not a speedster. Which is why he often gets stuck and has to turn back or play keepball, because he can't get behind the full back with pace. He has to try and use a trick or try a low percentage pass to keep momentum, which is why moves often break down with him. He's very much a scapegoat for our lack of ideas as a team. And no matter which of them gets the break, the rest of the team are so fucking slow to get up with them because they have to constantly run 80 yards so there is never any support in time, before the defence is all back and reset. When we don't have the opportunity to quickly counter or Benny/Bowen has had to play it backwards, the players don't know what to do. They can't pass and move round a disciplined side or create any space. The ball is always far too slow and our movement is appalling. Lack of coaching and any kind of plan B is all it can be. The players are not being sent out there equipped to win. Aaaaanyway."

[Lee Trundle]

"Carrick is an interesting choice. If he's taken 1% of what Ferguson may have taught him, it immediately makes him a much better manager than Moyes."

[stubbo]

"I also agree with Eerie....we have a very clear style. Low block, half or quarter court press, followed by long diagonal ball to the channels attempting to get in behind the fullback with the winger and striker chasing down. The irony is our defensive setup is to setup narrow and force people wide with a view that we will defend the hopeful ball into the box, whilst a key part of our attacking strategy is to chuck hopeful balls into the box from wide...why it would be believed effective for us, but no effective for our opponents is beyond me (and as has been shown, it isn't)."

[stubbo]

"For those that have any interest in what ExWHU says, his suggestion is whilst we hold some interest in Rogers, the one that has been most discussed and has had some groundwork layed is Carrick."

[Eerie Descent]

"I disagree, I think we have very much got a style and an identity. We have 10 men in shape behind the ball when we don't have it, we knock it long, hope for a lucky break or to win a set piece. When we have the ball, it's a bit of back and forth in our half until we're closed down, then pump it long, with 1 or 2 supporting the front man. In short, we've spent £200mil to employ tactics that a Sunday morning manager would think was archaic."

[brick_lane_batty_boy]

"We have zero playing style or identity. Do we play direct? Do we play a passing possession based game? Do we hit teams on the break? I really couldn't tell you, which is probably because there is no game plan. Sunday - Fabianksi played it to Zouma on the corner of the six yard box - who then proceeded to pump it long under virtually no pressure whatsoever. It's almost as if Moyes has seen teams set up like this - but lacks the understanding as to why they do this. We never get out from the back because as soon as there is any pressure on the ball, it goes backwards. At times we have passages of play where you think, hold on, that was a quick, decent interchange - on closer inspection, this happens occasionally because contrary to what our league position suggests - we actually have some good players who can play. NOT because of any of tactics / game plan employed by Moyes. For the last 18 months - we have been an extremely poor side - uninteresting to watch, bordering depressing given the progress we'd previously made. Such a shame to see the club going backwards based on a managers stubbornness / lack of ability to utilise the squad of players he has at his disposal. Lets hope we can limp over the line and make a change in the summer now."
