David Moyes obviously does his homework well and should be given plenty of credit rather than often being accused of this that and the other by some.
If we cast our minds minds ack to the summer and Craig Dawson, he received a hammering on the forums from several of those who knew full well that the bloke was no good!
But quite apart from knowing that Dawson was very good at such defensive duties the manager was obviously well aware of his goal scoring abilities. too
Now the Premier League has pointed out on its website that he has found the net on 41 occasions in the League, more than any other defender in England’s top four tiers since 2009/10.
That’s a pretty decent performance for the 30 year old who – it should be pointed out – has managed three for the Irons in six games which is one more than Seb Haller has scored in the same number of games for Ajax.
Value is Quality/cost. Moyes seems to have a nose for value and builds teams accordingly. At some point the quality starts to plateau as the costs continue to rise. Those are the starters and bench warmers of the EPL “Top 4”. Once the incremental improvement to the team is small, relative to the cost, you need deep pockets.
Dawson scores more goals than Haller and scoring is not even his main job on the pitch. Dawson saves more goals than Haller and costs about £3 million instead of £44 million. Make sense of that if you will? The decision to buy a Haller was a massive mistake unlikely to be repeated any time soon
Jesse Lingard has outstatted them all. Lucky, lucky Moyes and GSB.
COYI
Just pure luck from Moyes – took a real guess at Lingard LOL
