David Moyes Unemployed | European Champion

Surely Sanchez can't play if we meet them in Europe?
Courtois played against Chelsea while at Atletico and a few other loan players have played against their parent club in Europe. Bigger question is whether Sanchez's contract extension is to the end of the domestic season or whether it includes Europa League as well.

I'm reading that United won't let him play beyond the Getafe tie as it would risk him being injured the next season.

Makes sense. Probably also our way of pressuring them to make the deal permanent. If we could get Sanchez off the books, the freed up wages could be spent on Sancho, another signing or two as well as giving Pogba an improved contract if he wants to stay.
 
I saw this and was convinced it was a piss-take.

We have to keep trying to do that – make opportunities – but I reminded the defenders and everybody afterwards that we’ve also got to try and find a way of not conceding any goals. That’s a big factor.

We've to score goals and not let any in... Feckin genius Ffs :lol:

Boom. 4 nil. That's what he does, he wins.

How? By giving clear and precise tactical instructions.
 
The way He said it, you would think They had people who didn't know how to play football but managed to get themselves a job at a football club.
Job title : Centre Back
Experience : Navigating through IKEA

Well thats what happened to Moyes, so it makes sense.
 
I fear for him destroying our CL hope.

He certainly has form for doing that.

I can see Moyes building West Ham into a solid mid-table side in similar manner to the job he did at Everton, though much lower down the table given the number of sides competing for European places compared to his Everton days.

But on the other hand West Ham like to present themselves as a club that cares about playing good football, so maybe they’ll lose patience with Moyes and his brand of football sooner than I expect. Either way I expect Moyes will see-out next season at least in the job.

I don't understand why people pay so much attention on what managers say in front of the camera, instead of what they actually do and how they manage the team.
 
Let's not get too carried away. West Ham aren't exactly some sort of minnow.

It'd take incredible mismanagement to get them relegated over this year's Norwich, Bournemouth and Villa.
 
David Moyes getting credit for beating a woeful Norwich is the reason why he keeps getting jobs.

He has stayed up through circumstance and the fact that there are some terrible teams at the bottom. He has access to better players than all of them. This was his 4th win in 16 games, against a side that no one drops points against.

He isn’t very good.

He's told them they need to win more but the players don't listen. It's not Dave's fault.
 
You can picture what he is going to say ahead of the game with us.

“Right, this bunch of wankers didn’t put any faith in me, I want you to go and show them what they are missing out on.Pablo, Jarod, you better have your best crossing boots on because we are setting the record tonight”
 
Moyes would take them into top 4 with them. We need to watch out for improving our rivals.
We should not sell them under any circumstances. Moyesie, don't even think about submitting a cash plus player deal including Rice.
 
It'll take a small miracle for them to go down now, so if Moyes could have some common decency and just roll over against us as compensation for the years of anguish he caused us, that'd be great.
 
No, I mean Nepotism.

You don't need to be related for Nepotism to be at play.

Nepotism is by definition favoring your relatives to give them jobs.

Nepotism - mid 17th century: from French népotisme, from Italian nepotismo, from nipote ‘nephew’ (with reference to privileges bestowed on the ‘nephews’ of popes, who were in many cases their illegitimate sons).

I hoped they would be mathematically safe and on the beach by the time they faced us. Oh well, we can still beat them.

They could still be. They need to lose by at least three goals to both us and Villa and Villa and/or Bournemouth need to win both their remaining games by at least three goals to make up the huge difference in goal difference. In addition to that, Watford need to get at least four points against Arsenal and City to get ahead of West Ham. Villa play Arsenal and Bournemouth play Saints before we play West Ham. The chances of both of them dropping points is quite high, and even if they don't it's a tall order to win by enough to make up enough of the goal difference to still have a shot.

It's as close to mathematically certain as it can get without actually being it at the moment. If I was a West Ham player I'd call it a job well done now. All they have to do is show up to the games.

Yeah I had my eye on tonight's game for this reason. I think whatever happens now they won't be going absolutely hell for leather fighting for their very survival.

That said Southampton had nothing to play for and beasted us in that second half, so maybe it doesn't really mean shit.

They’re got a +12 gd over Bournemouth and villa and can only be equalled on points so they’ve got one foot on the beach
 
Doubt he'll let us win.
He still has something against United, if anything he'll do everything to proof a point.
 
The players need to go drinking until that game. Even during the game

All of the teams below them play again before they come to Old Trafford. It's unlikely they won't be mathematically safe by then.
 
We will beat them. Watford when they played it fast caused them issues when they woke up for that period in the second half for 15 minutes.
 
Bournemouth and Villa both play before our game with West Ham, so chances are they'll be 100% safe.

If we batter them it could mean a draw on the last day is enough, or even a small defeat could be enough (if Spurs beat Leicester)

Southampton, for lack of anything better, found their motivation in trying to beat us and City and to be fair did a good job of it. West Ham's motivation has been survival. Now that the job's pretty much done I'd be surprised if they didn't lose a bit of their edge. They'll probably give us a game, but they won't be fighting tooth and nail like they have been recently.

That being said, I'm being optimistic here. Our recent form against West Ham is atrocious. We're 1-1-2 in the last four.
