I didn’t see the game so under those circumstances I wouldn’t normally bother to comment .
However on this occasion it wasn’t because I was at work or had something more important to do.
It was because I just couldn’t be bothered .
When I saw the starting eleven I just couldn’t put myself through it.
I decided I was going to watch the final 15 mins as that is when I might see Vlasic , or , Lanzini ( who deserves a chance) or even Kral (who must have been really poor in training).
Even then I didn’t bother and decided to read the match thread this morning instead .
We do have a very good best eleven when it all clicks , but if ever there was an opportunity to change things up a bit , freshen things up , give certain players a rest , encourage competition for places , it was last night .
And as BD most eloquently put it before the game , Moyes doesn’t do that .
Even his substitutions make me want to gouge my own eyes out with a fish fork.
So when I read a comment on another match thread this morning I kind of smiled because it summed it all up for me .
I hope the fella doesn’t mind me reproducing it here as it’s a lot better out than I ever could .
“ However, our squad is being exposed for what it is; thin and unbalanced. We have 3 right backs and 1 left back, so we had a right back playing back left back whilst the person we bought as a 2nd to play left back cannot defend. We lose our left sided C/H so instead of slipping in our expensive replacement left sided C/H he sits on the bench whilst another right sided C/H plays which moves our new right sided C/H to left C/H. Our make do 'converted' C/F goes through a rough patch but we have no-one else to replace him except for a young inexperienced 17 year old. Its actually amazing we are where we are”.
What’s the point of having a squad if it’s not going to be used ?
And one more thing . Do you think Potter had ANY idea what our team would be last night ?
Is Moyes going to keep Tuchel guessing about our tactics and personnel right up to the last possible moment on Saturday ?
Is he fuck .
You could name the team with 99.9999% certainty right now and so could I .
We do have a terrific first team .
But Moyes is a cunt.
