  • Give it a rest

    Listening to the city reaction pod. Everton played well, unfortunately we have a donkey upfront and they have champion thoroughbred. That was the difference. We don’t go long or “smash it long” either

    Stop this Moyes agenda, he’s doing well with what he’s got. Also Keane upfront? You really think he can lead the line? You throw him up top for the last 5/10 minutes for a goal

    All Andy does is moan, it’s boring

  • Knives out

    Sounds like Andy couldn’t wait for Moyes to lose a game as badly as we did against Wolves. How long has he been sitting on that? Moyes has been fantastic since he returned

    We’re all frustrated and sick of not winning anything but to go fully in on the manager like that after one bad defeat is harsh
