I have to say, it is much nicer listening to these pre-match pressers on the drive home with Moyes answering the questions, than it was with the 'Ginger Mourinho'.
Instead of the general smarminess, the self-comparisons to Pep, the limitations he put on his players with his pre-match waffle or the tiresome catchphrases about "changing the story " or "the hard yards". You get Moyes speaking well about the players and instilling trust, backing them (Pickford, Tarkowski and Beto) but never going over board. Commenting on the work that Beto is doing to get better was smart. Aware we have him until January regardless, so it is wise to back the lad, whilst in the background making sure we have a striker come in.
Wouldn't half be funny if Barry started ahead of him on Saturday now though!

Would like to see Alcaraz up front mate.

Not against it GB mate. If Keane is out do you go Garner RB or his best position in the middle? If he is right back that means either Dibling or Iroegbunam have to play, if we want Charlie up top.

Just don’t feel Beto is the man to get us the goals, we will get chances to score just don’t want him in the Team we have to try something different.

We need to be quick and direct when we do get the ball with players running in behind the space city leave. got to be clinical.

Want a win and think we will but a point would be good.
{Ed025's Note - i think it will be a war of attrition myself GB, i expect us to be on the back foot for most of the game mate and i expect very little..

It’ll be like Anfield all over again but without the spark that is Grealish. Expecting a whooping tomorrow.
{Ed025's Note - unfortunately BR...so am i mate.. :(

I don’t think anyone can doubt Beto’s work rate, it’s the talent that is the issue. He’s frustrating but I like him, no matter how bad things have got, he always gives 100%.
As for the Moyes and Dyche comparisons, while Moyes can be a bit of a loser when it comes to playing away at big teams. He always tries to win home games against anyone.
Dyche went into every game trying to get a point no matter what.

Don’t agree while Beto plays we will continue to lose points which we can’t afford to do.
