Arteta went to the gooners they were struggling not in europe but in two seaons he has turned them around got rid of the deadwood and trouble makers so everyone knows its his way or you are on there way...he struggled in the beginning but now he has them firing on all cylinders top of the league and in europe and playing some good football,,,compare it to Moyes two years had the team playing well got us into europe twice never before achieved that and has been backed to the hilt finacially but he is going backwards fast and a real possibility of a relegation dogfight......so how has that happened? why? how can a team like the gooners do so much better than us? big ground well so have we money to spend well we were the THIRD biggest spenders in EUROPE this summer so cannot blame that so why? i am sure the board are scratching there heads as well.......someone has said Moyes has been given the keys to a Lamborghini but he only knows how to handle a Ford Escort.injuries? well every club suffers those so not an excuse so again why are we in reverse yet Arteta and the gooners flying?

I would like to thank Tottenham Hotspur fans for helping me Dry my laundry and keep the house warm.The amount of hotair coming out of there mouths especially after that 10000000000% correct decision to disallow Kanes goal against Sporting Lisbon my clothes dried in no time:-).

I just can't understand how West Ham can be playing Monday when we have a European game Thursday. We had a break from the norm with a Wednesday fixture so surely we could have played Saturday or Sunday giving the players a bit more recovery time. Just don't make sense to me.

So we lost to the bindippers even after the miracle of the penalty given against Liverpool at the Kop end......but unfortunately for us we have a manager who plays not to lose instead of playing to win....We all no it we are all aware of it but for Goodness sake someone needs to have a word in his shell like.

Fab/Areola/Rice/ Scamacca/Ants/Bowen/Downes!/ i could go on but we have the players but they need to be more forward thinking but Moyes is not that and so we will always be chasing games....Rice we all know give him the ball let him run wth it opposition players are scared of him yet he does not do it enough...opening minutes yesterday Allison with a poor kick out fell to Rice i have no doubt we were all shouting HIT it but know he did a poor pass to Scamacca instead of doing what he did agains Southampton..Ability is clearly there use it.Next Summer when he is sold and he will be you watch the level he goes upto with a Manager who will utilise his ability better.
Downes start of second half did exactly the same of course a younger player his first start and at Anfield you get why but its not only Liverpool it is against all opposition we play.

Our players need to be given a chance to show there abilty the obvious talent we have but Moyes with his constant need for Square passing across the back and back to the GK you have to wonder Why Scamacca didn't just walk off the pitch talk about no service.....Moyes wont admit it but he has an inferiority complex playing the big boys and instead of having a go and who knows he has to strangle the creativity we have by being solid ZZZZZZZZ.......

Bournemouth Next no Pacman supposedly for couple of weeks so do we expect Moyes to think Sod it Benny wide left Bowen Wide Right Ants and Scamacca upfront with Rice and Downes in the middle? of course we dont it will be the usual conservative approach and whining on about fixture congestion squad rotation blah blah blah guess what all clubs suffering that.

We have the players we just do not have the Manager to suit them sadly.

Thought I'd put this out there due to all the comparisons between the 2 players.

I'm not seeing any similarities myself. So can orgers explain where this has come from.

For me Paqeuta plays in the same position as a 10 I guess to use modern terms. But thats about it for me. I remember Payet as a magician, dribbling, close control, bliding free kicks a really dynamic force.

I'm not seeing that in Paqueta, although he needs time and looks the real deal but no Payet..

Our next three away games Bournemouth/Palace/Leicester our next three home games how many points? right now and how Moyes sets us up i see nothing in the away games but couple of heavy defeats and maybe just maybe if we are lucky a draw at Manure which makes the three home games vitally inportant...if Moyes has any hope of a top half finish before the World cup starts he has to win all three but they are tricky games but ones we should be winning if given the encouragement to be on the front foot....inbetween all those a couple of European matches and a EFL cup game against Blackburn.....So heres hoping we do not suffer any more injuries especially in the defence but it is West Ham.

Kehrer Zouma Dawson Ogbonna Aguerd....all our centrebacks all injured and unavailable for Sunday against Southampton so now what? Soucek/Rice play there would seem our only option unless Moyes goes with Rice in the middle Johnson and cresswell either side and has Coufal and emerson playing wingback......So is Moyes playing mind games or are we just cursed as usual and if they are all injured would he be stupid enough to risk any of them? our line up Sunday afternoon will be interesting to see thats for sure.

Zouma looks to me to be unfit and plodding along at the back and unless it is an aerial ball into the box i am not convinced by him and have not been for a little while now...his performances seem to be lethargic and his ball control has gone out the window...is he carrying an injury or has the whole catgate thing affected him more than has been let on....thankfully we have plenty of cover at the back now so would you give him a rest try and lose a bit of timber? or would you soldier on with him?.

Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola said that his players were Exhausted after the match against Copenhagen i would ask really? do they know the meaning of exhaustion? whilst i understand that they are top level sportsmen they are in there prime and with the squads and rotation nowadays i just find that and excuse.

In my working life i used to work 12 hours a day for a meagre wage and walked to work that was around an hour or so and the same in the evening but you did it to provide for your family so to say you are exhausted after 2 maybe 3 games in a week i truly find laughable try living a real working mans life 6 days a week and for a lot nowadays 7 days and on wages that would not come close to an average premier league players weekly wage.Harold Macmillan once said "you've never had it so good" so please all these players an managers keep quiet about Exhaustion you truly do not know what that means.

Moyes has his favourites we all know that but now surely even he sees that the following are just squad players unless they drastically improve....Benni Soucek Coufal Lanzini Oggy Antonio! Cresswell....

Eyebrows raised no doubt when Antonio mentioned but some of his performances have been bang average and Scamacca his competition is getting better each week and there is a lot more to his game than Ants....could they play together as a pair? not sure will we ever see that under Moyes.

Johnson back from injury and once again played as a left back that has to be frustrating but with Kehrer/Ashby able to play right back Coufals days are numbered and Johnson is going to have to get used to playing on the left unless Moyes thinks about putting Emerson there.

Lanzini is past his best he has been a good servant but every dog has its day and his is now past....Soucek has got to really up his game now with Downes showing given the chance he deserves to start...yes the opposition was not great but you only play whats put in front of you and for me he has played his way into the Fulham game but with Moyes you just know he will be on the bench.

Oggy bless him still can do a job but injury and father time is catching up with him so as a sub i think he is nailed on and for the European conference league not a problem.

I do hope Moyes now makes full use of the players he has and not stick to his tired old tactics and team selection and let the players have a bit more freedom on the pitch esecially at home.
