Maybe what we need is a change in formation. Both Ndiaye and Grealish are doubled up on and so become ineffective in games.
Maybe move Ndiaye up front with one of the donkeys, and play 4-4-2. We have been playing a lone striker for a few years now and it hasn't worked.
We have become very predictable, play it wide then go back.
So if we are going to play it long at least have two up there and have a proper go.
{Ed025's Note - count me in Brass, if you are playing one upfront he has to be a very good player and not someone who just works hard and has not even had a shot on target since he has been here, we are very predictable...just double up on Jack and Ndaiye and we are stymied, mind you Moyes will stick with this system anyway because he has no plan B imo, we have a lot of holes in the squad and its not going to be fixed in the next window and maybe not even in the summer so we have to make do and mend this season i feel mate..

Think that would work Brass good post mate.

Think a lot would agree but can only wish. least all these headers young barry is winning might actually go to 1 of our players and not the 2nd centerback get up and support the kid. wonder if the players will be tired only having 3 day's to recover ?????.

Watched Chelsea play with Neto up top against Barcelona last week, system worked very well. I know we don’t have the players that Chelsea do, but Moyes needs to try something other than punting to Barry surely. At least Ndayie could play on the shoulder and turn the centre backs.

Personally, I don't think a 4-4-2 is necessarily the answer, but i think some sort of change up definitely is - but we all know what happens on the pitch week in week out has absolutely no bearing on Moyes' system and we'll see the same ineffectual 4-2-3-1 until the day he leaves.
