"Hopefully Steidten sees it as we do? He’s DOF and will want to upgrade the squad and get the best from it. While we have a midfield that starts most games and includes Soucek and no recognised left sided midfielder we are always going to struggle getting and keeping the ball. Midfield is the key to controlling the game. We also need wing backs of the highest quality to link up with the midfield and create width. A recognised striker is critical. Moyes has created a Frankensteins monster of a team. Some parts are good quality but others just not good enough and players out of position, no recognised forward / wide left player A proper dogs dinner just like his tactics Done a decent interim job but past his sell by date. For the love of god let’s hope Steidten sees it"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Moyes has reached absurd levels of incompetence, and it’s combined with arrogance. Getting to a stage where it’s going to have a demotivating effect on the next man in, who will believe he’s welded to the desk with his contract. ffs"

[Gaffer58]

"Another tactical masterclass from Moyes, Bowen up the middle against Van Dyke, so let’s kick it long and high."

[claypole]

Absolutely no surprises here from the coward. Hopefully Moyes has lost a few of the Moyes 'in' camp with that smirking press conference.

[Jasnik]

Shots on Target Home11 Away1 they must be shit as we scored 100% ........

[Jasnik]

This proves the best form of attack is not defense. What a load of ....... fill in the blank.

[Jasnik]

I think Vexed put it so eloquently.....

[jfk]

"As Manuel said. This bloke doesn’t give a fuck about the club or.its history, feel desperately sorry for our loyal travelling away support after enduring that absolute fucking bollocks."

[Hammer-n-nails]

"I didn't want Moyes first time around. He didn't ""save us"". We got some good hammerings and we crawled over the line. The Second coming of Moyes has been Fat Sham with a much bigger budget. Turgid shite while destroying good players with awful coaching and tactics. Fulham was painful but this was shambolic! If the twat had any self awareness he'd quit! No chance of that though......"

"After properly getting outplayed the first half we could possibly have got back into the game if we‚Äôd bought the big guns on at the start of the second half as redknapp and co suggested. No this stubborn cսnt saw it otherwise?? If we beat a shit Man U Saturday convincingly and put on a good display against Arsenal it may be forgiven just. What‚Äôs the fucking point in throwing a game in a quarter final of a cup?? After beating Arsenal.???? I‚Äôm now firmly in the Moyes out camp, fuck the custard toothed cսnt."

[Manuel]

"He CANNOT just be allowed to get away with this. NOBODY disrespects and laughs in the faces of our brilliant away support on a bitter midweek night just before Christmas. This cannot just be brushed under the carpet, the cսnt has outdone himself this time and it's unforgiveable."

[PwoperNaughtyButNot]

"What I can’t understand, if it’s a question of games and fitness then why not throw the first game in the cup? Why bother getting to the QF to then not show up? If it is to shop window players prior to January window then you’ve slashed a million off potential prices. Grim. Unprofessional. Unwanted"

[Takashi Miike]

"have a look at his press conference, starts off smiling, then displays dupers delight throughout. I'm convinced the cսnt is mentally ill https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=heW9FeZtkQE"

[wd40]

Big supported of Moyes myself but Jesus that interview afterwards was very insulting and he has acted like a right cսnt.

[Manuel]

"Utterly fucking shameful. This cսnt has put a league game before a cup QF one week after saying we can't get top 6??!! Why would you put out pub players in a cup QF?? I am absolutely fucking fuming. We know Moyes despisers our fan base, and boy did he fuck us up tonight chucking a game when he knew we have 5,000 fans travelling on a freezing cold midweek night. I want this fucking vermin out of the club today, and I hope the cսnt loses on Saturday."

And anyone digging Alf out by the way over soucek - if you can’t see he’s not a premiership footballer then you should watch something else ffs - it’s like watching someone in a wheelchair

[aldgate]

I hear what you are arguing Swindon but you sound like someone who doesn’t go much. I’m a season ticket holder and occasional traveller and that tonight was a fucking embarrassement which the manager shrugs off quicker than proper supporters

[J.Riddle]

"I knew it would be defensive block, go a goal down then leave it too late and go 0-2 before bringing better players on. I stopped watching at 0-1 then noticed it went 0-2 and turned off. Haven't bothered watching highlights. Hate watching Moyes and Moyesball."

[Sydney_Iron]

"Shaka Hislop on the defeat, Embarressing..... https://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=39156926"

[J.Riddle]

Klopps got a hard on for Bowen 27. If they get £200m from Saudis for Salah 31. Sullivan will sell for same price as Declan as 4 years older. Sullivan will look at Kudus 23 as younger replacement for Bowen. Paqueta will be off to City for £80m as well.

[claret on my shirt]

"Very clear that Moyes threw this guy, his pe game interview as good as confirmed it just as his teams selection did. If we had managed to sneak a win we'd have had Fulham, Boro or a poor CFC side and a huge chance to get to a final. 6000 fans made the journey, fucking brilliant support on a cold Wednesday a week before xmas and guess alot will struggle to get home tonight, he needs to eb uterly ashamed of his self and the club needs to refund the fans. I was 60/40 Moyes out at the end of the season, now I am 100% Moyes out. he needs to go, so fucked off it's unreal."

[nychammer]

"what's the point of finishing 10th in the league and being out of all the cups because we prioritized being 10th in the League? Moyes has already stated were not finishing 6th so why not have a real go for the League Cup semi final. A cup is the only way back into Europe for us, so why throw a game like this? because that's what we effectively did. Liverpool certainly didn't approach it that way."

[Mad Dog]

"What a shock Moyesball surrender ar it's best. Fucking useless Best chance we've had at this cup.in years and we roll over in the quarter final. True we might not have won, but Liverpool team looked 2nd steing mainly to me and we fucking bottled.it. defend and try to nick one. Fuck off moyes. Juat fuck ott And when You've fucked off fuck off again from there."

[wils]

"Was on the train still when I saw the team sheet. Like others have said, I knew then I had wasted my time. Should have turned around and got the train back home. Don’t normally get angry about heavy losses. But very pissed off about this. Yes, rest players with the schedule we have, but not this one. 6000 fans making the trip and realistic chance of making a final."
