Brutal Moyes words may spell end for Haller
The Frenchman was once again back to his worst against Chelsea – adding a new element to his game when running regularly into offside positions when a real threat was on.
And it appears from the words issued by Moyes after the game that he has now had enough – ok we can misread things but his declaration on his problems up front seem more than explicit.
He didn’t name Haller but then there was no real need to – the condemnation was clear and quite how he solves it still remains a mystery to both us and him.
Commenting on the issue he declared: “I hope I get Micky back soon,” (Evening Standard).
“If we don’t then we need to think what else we can do, how else we can do it. We need alternatives and options, we’re a little bit limited with that.
“If not then I’m going to have to start looking in my own group to find another Marko Arnautović or Micky Antonio. That’s what I’m going to have to try to do.
“We did a lot of good things but not enough good things in either box where it mattered.”
Like every manager Moyes is always protective of his players until no further reasons and it really does look as though he has reached the point of no return.
All that remains perhaps is to see how big a loss the club take on the Frenchman.
