I’m no Moyes nosher but if you didn’t notice the tactical switch just before the Bowen goal you’re watching the wrong sport. The criticism should be that it took so long to make the switch.
It was a quarter final. Nothing justifies his decisions midweekNewmarket wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 2:33 pm Okay so the last 20 minutes warranted the victory .
I know Whiskyman will be happy but has it justified Moyes’ team selection midweek ?
Seems to me we were just strolling about and just upped the tempo at will in the last 20 minutes .
We’ll lose at Arsenal anyway so I think this team could have played midweek without any problems.
I am happy with the result and I know I’m in the minority but I have never given a flying toss about the Mickey Mouse so I’m not as disappointed as most seem to be about the result. I was more pissed off we didn’t see any of the kids in the 3 Mickey games we played.Newmarket wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 2:33 pm Okay so the last 20 minutes warranted the victory .

With you in this one whiskey. The melt down after Wednesday seemed worse than normal. Agree that it was a poor team but not sure any of the players did themself any favours either.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 2:44 pmI am happy with the result and I know I’m in the minority but I have never given a flying toss about the Mickey Mouse so I’m not as disappointed as most seem to be about the result.

My issue with Moyes today was that it took sp long for the penny to drop and make the tweaks he did that changed the game. Should have been done at half time at the very latest.
As for whether the changes on Wednesday were a factor in us winning today I guess we’ll never know.
Wednesday’s performance was a fucking disgrace. The team selection did weaken us but the players that were sent out put on an utterly shambolic performance. If they’d actually turned up even if we’d lost I don’t think there would have been so much angst tbh.brookingslovechild wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:21 pmWith you in this one whiskey.

Utd are a shadow of teams from 15/20yrs ago defo the worst team I’ve seen in a long time.
And as my Utd supporting brother in law just said beating Utd is actually no big achievement these days……fucking lovely, also just been shouted at by the current Mrs BLC for giving it large to my mother in law
I love days like these.
Well i am sure Moyes will inform us.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 2:44 pmI am happy with the result and I know I’m in the minority but I have never given a flying toss about the Mickey Mouse so I’m not as disappointed as most seem to be about the result.
