Terry, you seemed to have missed my point.
Moyes has been lucky, not the team, they have done well and far better than the 2 owners deserve.
If we had a full crowd, there is no way, Moyes could have played as he is, the pressure would have bee too much. One bad result, playing like Everton and the whole place would have gone off.
So Moyes style, has suited the training ground atmosphere. While sitting at home, the performance does not really matter, but if you are paying to go, then you want a bit more.
As I look around the prem, there seems to be goals everywhere, apart from us and Sheff Utd. Yet we have a line up of Fornals, Benrahma, Lanzini, Bowen. 4 Players who should be creating. But Moyes is so determined to get players behind the ball, you would have to be Mo Farrah to continue to get up an down.
so - Moyes is lucky, not the team, lockdown has played into his Dinosaur claws
I get you James about the lucky bit.I apologise,I misinterpreted you.
You say about us not scoring many goals,but we have scored more than 9 Teams in the PL..Maybe if our lovely owners would stick their hands in their pockets and purchase a decent striker,we just might score a few more.
Everton,are you talkinfg about us playing against them a few weeks ago?Bloody hell,we were playing our third match in six days,while Everton had a week off..They`d won 4 in a row before we turned up..How can you be critical of that?Even Fergie at Man U would have been happy with that score.To me,that result pleased me more than any this season.
On Saturday,we could have had 3 or 4.It`s not like we are not creating chances,is it?Even against Man United,they wouldn't have complained if were 3-0 up at HT and that's against the leaders,if took our chances?
I have never said Moyes is perfect,.but it`s a lot better than I would have expected,considering our bare boned squad..We have by far the smallest squad in the PL and we don't even have a First Team Striker,because by trade,Antonio is a winger.
You really couldn't make it up with our owners tbh.That is where these c**ts are getting away with it,in empty the empty London Stadium.
Yes,I have seen a lot more entertaining and better teams down at West Ham over my 50 years of watching them,but I doubt if I have seen a team work harder.
Taking them facts and the circumstances into consideration, I think Moyes is doing a wonderful job.
