"Tomshardware - fair enough, I have zero respect for the cսnt who likes a snide dig at us fans. As for Ang he's doing a great job isn't he, unfortunately. Playing on the front foot and winning. When a few suggested him on here (not me BTW) it was shot down with comments like why would we bin Moyes for someone who's only done well in a pub league with no PL experience. I wonder if Sullivan will take notice and realise that PL experience isn't everything. All my yid mates are so obnoxiously happy and looking forward to every game, I'm not looking forward to Sunday at all.. Isn't football supposed to be entertaining ffs."

"Sullivan looks like he missed a trick with Postecoglou, cowardly cսnt of an owner keeping with a cowardly cսnt of a manager each looking after each other's interests to the detriment of the team. Sully sticks with Moyes because he takes the flak and focus stays away from him, cheapest option. Although I'd be fuming having had Moyes recent budget and performing as we do game on game."

"I promised myself and you poor souls who have to endure my diatribes and negative monologues, that I would lay off with the pessimism after the delivery of some silverware after a 43 year wait. Give it 10 games. It's for you lot to decide but if you look back to May my postings have tried to be more balanced and less negative or at least I think they have :-) We are about 10 games in and I must say the arrival of Steidten, transfer business we did with the Rice money and early results worked well and gave some hope. Others, who took the flack for being negative and miserable which I previously was doing, ( Eerie, Steve, Vexed, Takashi etc. ) were warning of not being ""scoreboard fans""ù and looking at our continued inability to get the ball, some world is saves by Areola against Brighton and ""run of the green""ù against Chelsea and even the Opta stats said we were the most overachieving side based on chances created and scored ( we had been clinical for once). Well I'm saying they look to have called things right and while there are some glaring holes in some positions that Moyes has not filled or does not see ( technical and lack of pace mostly ) there are some real quality players too. But it's hard not to say the manager is part of the problem and not the solution? All of the points about outdated, predictable 25 year old tactics and reluctance to make it a squad system, blindness to the need to keep the ball by playing faster, having players that move rather than sit all the time. Above all else the priority or preference for technically limited players which Soucek epitomizes Nothing will change this season as most of us know. Use this forum to express frustration it's what's its for. It's not personal to me about Moyes. From where he took us and delivery of a first trophy and Europe 3 years on the trot is something but I would wager a lot on that ending this season as we won't progress that far in the Europa imo and it looks like league wise we may make lower to mid table. It's unlikely another relegation scrap ( not impossible but unlikely ) so that's something but we have the foundations ( players ) to start looking upwards but not the manager to do that. A thanks but time for a change has to happen next summer. Tim Steidten holds the key this time as Hussilos did under Pelegr√≠ni. Obviously Hussilos got it all wrong but Get it right and you see a Unai Emery type coming in and taking us to the top 6 - 8. In Tim we have to trust and recommending / getting a replacement for Moyes will be step 1. This season, got to hope we don't slip down too far and get a cup run and fortune with the teams we draw again to go deep in the competition. Although that could be counter productive if it keeps Moyes onboard again :-) How bittersweet it all is :-)"

"Fraser, I was criticising some of showing a lack of respect. Some of the comments are vitriolic and below the belt. I'm not saying he doesn't warrant any criticism as a manager."

It's moved way beyond Moyes now . What the fuck is Sullivan doing. Weve been absolute garbage league wise for 2 years . Yet he's showing Moyes more loyalty than he did poor Mary millington . Does he really think pacqueta and Kudus signed to merely survive relegation . Steitden kretinsky and tripp smith surely have to step up sooner or later .

Why would Moyes choose to criticise his own fans? It seems like a bit of a stupid thing to do? It's very hard to get excited about a team when we're playing conservative football against a team like Sheffield United who were coming off the back of an 8-0 defeat. The stadium and the fans are not the problem.

It's all a bit pointless really. Moyes start to the season means he is definitely seeing out the season. I hope the 🧣 has got his power point presentation ready and him and the dwarf have someone lined up to come in long before the end of the season.

"Looking forward to another transfer windows where we don't buy a striker and for these greatest hits to come out; ""òthere's nobody available who is better than we already have' ""òwe tried' Or, we buy a striker who is not suitable to Moyes rigid ""òlone striker run like fuck' system - who then gets bombed out of the team in favour of Micky, who will undoubtably up his game at the hint of competition and then slack off again once he has a few goals and a few laughs on his podcast."

"What Moyes does is drill the impact factor out of them (Squad players) by giving them a list of defensive responsibilities to do before having any att. He has also made players like Benny and Fornals have to play off non existent strikers""¶..some of the reason we bought Benny was surely due to the link up he had with Watkins that we'd hope he'd emulate here""¶.but instead the cunts expected to play the miracle ball for it to bounce off Antonio""¶.the few times these days he gets to play with him""¶."

"One of the problems we now face is that we will have a game every 3 or 4 days over the coming months and run up until Christmas. Moyes has proven time and time again that he cannot utilise the squad at his disposal. He will run players into the ground, the likes of Soucek, Antonio etc. If he is going to go with a smaller squad he has to use every player effectively. The use of 2 or 3 subs every game is useless how can any player get into any sort of form with 5 minutes off the bench once every 2 games. He is far too quick to push players our, players such as Cornet could be of use, okay he isn't the best player in the squad but he can play a number of positions. Moyes would rather flog the team until he has to look into the transfer or bemoan the amount of games we have to play, any excuse other than looking inwards and changing his squad management. I think the squad is in dire need of a refresh but from the top, Moyes has hit his ceiling will always struggle to break through as he simply won't adapt and change. The game is moving on, he isn't"

This does all have a 'here we go again' feel about it.

Tomshardware - wasn't it only a couple of weeks ago you were criticising other for similar posts about Moyes?

I sense Sunday will be a struggle for some reason.

"Can see us getting turned over on Sunday and sliding down the table. Then this classic will be used "" If Moyes wasn't there then that's exactly who you would pick to get yourselves out of relegation""."

"My biggest issue with Moyes is his stubborn reluctance to try anything different despite being one, two or three goals down. It was just like for like with he subs straight into his set up. Two goals down just throw Antonio or Mubama up with Ings or replace Ings with those two and go to a direct 442 or something. Christ even stick Soucek up there and bomb balls into the box, anything different."

There's been times our stadium's atmosphere has been decent. But that's on the few times where we've played decent football. It's hardly surprising the atmosphere a home is a bit shit when you're constantly watching your team get battered every week.

"Fuck me, he actually sad that?? I thought the Riddler was messing. He's right about the noise in that stadium though, it was almost comical when occasionally the din softened and in the background you could meekly here our lot singing bubbles or coyi, BUT everyone knows that type of atmosphere is a European vibe, British football fans/stadiums simply don't behave that way, it's a completely different culture. What a cսnt this man is."

"Fucking hell. That'll go down well, MOYSIE, you fucking plank."

"Moyes is right, its us West Ham fans fault why we are not getting the results we want. The atmosphere at the London Stadium is like a morgue most of the time. It's no good blaming Moyes boring George Graham (that other sweaty Jock) tactics complete with his shit defence. I assume Moyes was cupping his ear when he said this after Olympiakos. ""If anybody wanted to see what supporters can do to make results then they should come and look at it here, because their crowd were really powerful here. The crowd played a huge part tonight, they really did.""ù"

"miike- Stop policing the forum. Just making a point that he gave the nod to Areola. Agree it wasn't a hard call but if you care to remember it surprised a few and many still thought, and a few even wanted, the Pole would to remain as number one, so wind it in a bit. It's pointless debating with you anyway, you can't even bring yourself to give any credit for the three goals scored in each game, in your subjective world we ONLY won those games because of the goalkeeper. That was it, pretty embarrassing for you to be fair. Glad you're delighted with these two defeats anyway :-)"

"Will's opinion is above criticism because he has ""a coaching badge""ù. He got it from a box of cornflakes in 1981."

"Willtell 2 games ago lecturing me why Moyes should stay and I was being unreasonable criticising him, while most of us could see that wasn't the case.. Now after two bad results has changed his tune.. Does anyone else think he wasn't actually watching us, because the performances aren't that much different, just the results. Now he's got help buying decent players, I think the style is opening up a bit but we clearly aren't going back to our history of fading & dying. That's down to Moyes. When Moyes' management stops working I'll be calling for his head like everyone else. In the meantime I recognise that he's defence first but improving us every game..."

*twoleftfeet*

"yes, scored three goals after he changed the momentum making numerous high class saves. you honestly want people to give him credit for selecting a goalkeeper in his prime over a 38 year old? fuck me, you're as bad as galleries üòÇ"
