CandH verdict on manager Moyes

He’s has had virtually everything right all season but not tonight!

Manager Moyes was wearing a scowl for most of the match but I ope he wasn’t feeling the players had let everyone down because it was the other way around. Sorry Moysie – down to you and your tactics.

With no Pablo Fornals or Jesse Lingard he chose to bring in Mark Noble and Jarrod Bowen.

No complaints about Bowen but given we haven’t won a game when Mark has started, and with two creative talents in Lanzini and Benrahma on the bench you had to wonder quite what the idea was. Surely one or the other should have started.

Eventually – when we had gone behind of course – Noble was off along with Ben Johnson who had been switched from left to right for no apparent purpose.

So the game plan we all believed was in place at the start proved correct. He’d gone for a point after 15 games of having never won at the place.

It really wasn’t the fault of the players and you felt for one up Mikey in particular – poor selection and poor approach,.

Moyes rating 3
