Our first team 11 and Subs from
today - my ratings:

Howard - 6

Hibbert - 6

Jagielka - 6

Heitinga - 5

Baines - 7

Osman - 5

Fellaini - 6

Neville - 5

Gueye - 5

Cahill - 5

Saha - 4

Drenthe - 10

Stracqualursi - 8

McAleny - 6

I agree with you on Cahill's rating he was abysmal today I think Moyes need to drop him for a while and tell him to stop diving down at every opportunity

Saha 4!! he didnt play especially bad

Osman was terrific are you high?
Toffeeboy

Osman was actually a 8

Saha did play bad

This quite simply can't go on any longer, I'm a huge Moyes fan but his tactical failings are getting worse!

1 heitinga, great player but too easily pushed off the ball again today as with against Stoke, if the ever was a game for Distin it was today

2 Neville in midfield, great captain but at home against teams you should be beating having another defensive minded player sends out the wrong message

3Gueye on the left, this lad has lots of potential and skill but kept wandering from the left wing leaving Baines on his own and therefore diminished what has been our best attackin option all season

4Cahill on the field, an absolute legend but he's not at the races, looks short on confidence and believe, hasn't scored in 2011!! Give him a rest!

5 Drente, unless he wasn't fit can't understand why he only got 20 mins, he changed the game, sensational

6 Moyes insistence on not playing 2 up front at home! When Strach came on we looked like we had more purpose, he won headers and cased balls, he put himself about more than Cahill and Saha in the whole game, we actually looked good and very threatening with 2 up front!

I'm only an arm chair fan but if even I can see these failings surly those who get paid to run the club can see them too. It has to change because results like that ruin my whole weekend!

Kurajan {Ed025's Note - good post that kurjan...i agree with all of it!..

Arm chair fan says it all.
I don't know how further forward Cahil has to play to class Moyes as playing 2 up front.
I accept that people don't class Cahill as a traditional striker but he plays as far forward as Saha.

over 20 shots on goal 15 or so on target! alot better but should be beating norwich at home! denis did well, drenthe changed the whole game when he came on, he had more shots on goal in one game than the entire team in the last 2 games! need to start winning but a slightly better pefromance today!

Dont care about stats we need goals cahill drop him and play 2 up front moyes you muppet {Ed025's Note - i dont think he wants to kermit himself..

Poor that ed {Ed001's Note - that was his best gag!! He had been waiting months to use that one, bless him. Still he will get some new jokes for you next week.....}

For the moment we're having very bad luck, but our playing style is very dissapointing, send long-balls to the forwards means lose rapidly. so we have to touch more the ball and dominate more the midfield and stop to play in a long-balls because is useless.

PD: we already need rodwell and drenthe in the field.
PD2: I can't understand why ross barkley hasn't been called for the match.
