We have to agree to disagree about Soucek the man who has been a key player in our 2 best seasons in ages, like I said he is the most underrated player in recent times, 3rd best in the squad imo behind Bowen and Rice
He has been playing through tiredness because of lack of cover that has impacted his performances, the solution? Sign Gallagher or another proper CM for competitionandbackup.
Dawson has been very steady and I hope he will be here for the rest of his peak career, a mistake in him every game?? Excuse me but fuck off he has been our most consistent performers this season and largely because of him we got so far in Europe , he will hopefully be here competing for a starting spot for 3 more years at least.
I agree Benrahma is an impact sub and very effective in that role like he proved with his 8 goals and 6 assists in 34 apps mostly as a sub.
Cresswell is a very decent second choice left back for next season
Thankfully the fickle supporters who seem to be many on here are not the manager
If you read Towie's posts properly you'll see he isn't advocating clearing out the players mentioned but IMPROVING on them. I do agree with you about Soucek who I consider to have been nowhere as nearly as bad as some seem to think. He does a lot of "dirty work" in the middle of the field that goes unnoticed. I would add Antonio to the list as well tbh. A good, honest player but never in a million years a player who should be commanding a regular spot in a side hoping to compete for top 6.
The players to let go are the ones who struggle when they are brought in to do a job. I would say that would be Fredericks, Masuaku, Kral and Benrahma. I know many will disagree about Benrahma but for me he's the type of player a 12 year old, like my grandson, likes because he is capable of the occasional "wow, did you see that" moment but the rest of us see someone who struggles to impact the game when his little tricks and pirouettes don't come off. The older fan will remember Stuart Slater. Imo there are a great many similarities between Slater and Benrahma. While Moyes is manager I don't see that Benrahma, will be able to fulfil a useful role on anything like a regular basis. A season ticket holder mate of mine describes him as a player who would light up a testimonial but, when the nitty gritty starts and the tackles start flying in, disappears. I think it's significant that his international manager prefers Sofiane Feghouli (remember him ?) to Benrahma more often than not.
At least someone can read properly.
I’m not saying let Soucek go either, but if Moyes going to continue playing him as sitting DM, there are much better players than him at doing it. Phillips at Leeds would be my choice.
As for Dawson, decent back up but a mistake happens every game, not all leads to a goal but here some recent examples.
Citeh gives Pen away,
Chelsea gets sent off
Eintracht away loses his man for goal
Etc, etc.
It’s not what you do it is the way that you do it.

Looks like I’m marginally in front even though I’m letting you have the plaudits.
