Or they could just play Clark, Kozak, Veretout, Amavi, Sanchez – in their proper positions – and make it look easy.

I find it really, really hard to believe that Kozak - who seems to have been alienated - would not have contributed more than Gestede today, who gave one of the most ineffective individual performances I've seen in absolutely ages.
He did the same last week.
Was Kozak on the bench?

No.

What's more, I don't get why Veretout wasn't on the bench.

I get the impression he doesn't really want to play Gill either. Sherwood's weird.

It would be a grim spectacle, but that would be an improvement on the past four years.

When he went to Palarse, he inherited players who were more comfortable in possession than his Stoke thugs. So he brought a bit of organisation and some sort of shape to that.  Things go wrong when he's in a job long enough to shape a side exactly as he wants.

From where we are at the moment, I'll take uninspiring football and grinding out enough 1-0's to stay up over uninspiring football and regular home defeats.

Naturally should we go that route, the prayer mat would be out and we'd hopefully pot him in a year -18 months when the new overlords take over.

I'm not Moyes' biggest fan but, erm, okay.

The Spanish press are taking the piss out of Moyes who looks like he'll be sacked for a record approaching Sherwood's.

Mundo Deportivo have a full page article today on TSMIII, which they titled “Moyes’ 7 deadly sins”.

1:DM “I want to build a team that fights for a European spot in 15/16”.
Sociedad currently above relegation zone on goal difference.

2: DM “My philosophy is to win. If it’s in style, great. If not, it’s still great”.
Sociedad have only won one out of their 8 league matches played.

3: DM “I want to immerse myself and plan on speaking the language quickly”.
11 months in, he barely speaks Spanish and he’s struggling to communicate with his players.

4: DM “There will be changes in Zubieta (training ground). Training is my strong point”.
Mundo Desportivo says that people who have seen his sessions call them ‘antiquated’.

5: DM “My ideal is to play attacking football and for people to be inspired”.
8 league games played, 6 goals scored, 9 goals conceded.

6: DM “We need to fight with Sevilla, Valencia, Athletic, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.”
All are above Sociedad in the table. Villareal and Atletico Madrid are 10 points higher than Real Sociedad, Valencia 6 points higher, Sevilla 3 points higher.

7: DM “Hervías, Oyarzun, and Capilla will be in the first team.”
Hervías got loaned to Real Ovieda, Oyarzun has played 44 minutes in the cup, and Capillahas played just 11 minutes in La Liga.


Here's hoping he wins tomorrow and Real Sociedad keep him there for a week or two.

I think the Man. United experienced has damaged Moyes, I'd prefer Rodgers of the two as I feel he could keep us up AND build us something long term which Sherwood and Lambert have failed dismally at.

Still if it is Moyes he's shown he can grind out results like a Big Sam or Pulis can and this is desperate times for us.

The worrying thing is these seems to be too fewer candidates.
The idea that a failing Moyes is going to be our saviour, that Rodgers could handle or would want the job or the board likely to pull a gem out of the hat is unlikely.

I would give a shout for Rowett, it would fuck them up and at least give us a chance of promotion next season.
