Well off to Freiburg (again) in a couple of hours with dreams of watching us play in an open and progressive way! Some hope eh? But a 1-0 away win playing bland unimaginative football will suffice if it means I'm one step closer to a Guinness related p*ss up in Dublin ?

Very impressed with your away support Dicksy, especially abroad, must cost you big bucks, on your own or with family and fellow supporters, I will be watching on TNT and imagine which may be you unless you have one with Dicksy on it??Enjoy the German ? Lager win or lose???what part of the country are you from? Enjoy you flight and keep out of trouble win or lose, they don’t mess about with the likes of English Rowdies!

Frieburg were on a par with SHEFF UTD imo MUNICH must be very poor at the present time to not beat them, and they have won 1 game this year in the Bundesliga we will more than likely go through but MOYES done his usual thing by throwing for me our most important player above PAQUETA BOWEN, KUDUS in ALVAREZ by saying he gave the ball away for their goal but not that ZOUMA was ball watching and is finished imo his knees are hanging on by gaffer tape they way he runs and turns, but DD won't throw one of his little favourites under the bus and ALVAREZ is trying to do 3 players work as SOUCEK and JWP are not good enough to play C/M or CDM but he wouldn't dream of playing our youth who recently beat LIVERPOOL 4-0 but KLOPP plays his youngsters but unless your past 21 you ain't getting a run in the team or a start very very unlikely it's a joke and if MOYES stays then our youth system is pointless.⚒⚒⚒

As someone who was at Goodison let me tell you this! 3-1 flattered us and the 1st half performance was atrocious.Areola was outstanding, Alverez held the midfield together and Kudus always looked a menace! But make no mistake this performance was in no way brilliant! Yes 6 points in a week is a bonus
1.) 04 Mar 2024 10:26:09
100% agree with this.
2.) 04 Mar 2024 10:39:31
I was not there. I listened to the match on the radio, so I cannot say how we played. I did watch the highlights however, and just from those and the radio coverage, it struck me there were two real high points. Areola's performance and the Soucek goal. These are both down to individual skill and nothing to do with tactics.
3.) 04 Mar 2024 11:31:02
Credit must be given to that gut-busting run from Alvarez in the dying minutes to score the 3rd. Remarkable engine.
4.) 04 Mar 2024 12:10:20
Moyes has just got lucky (again) picking up 6 points against teams who haven't won in months! Areola won us the match against Everton which says everything you need to know! Yes Soucek scored a worldie and Yes Alverez scored on the break but the performance as it always is under Moyes was defensively minded crap with a sprinkling of goldust.

Dicksy1973, What a dedicated supporter you are to our club &all the other travelling supporters, assuming you are not a Merseyside man and are a Southerner? ?You saw it as we heard it on Radio, getting battered with Areola our saviour! To travel all that way knowing the defensive rubbish you have to sit through?, costing stupid money, but at least you saw the win, hopefully you didn’t leave early at 1-1 to avoid the crowds??
So you saw the 2 great goals in extra time, well that was some smash n grab, Dyche must have been ?along with all the scousers!
COYI ⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒
{Ed001's Note - not all the Scousers Chelmsford, the red half defo enjoyed your win too!}
6.) 04 Mar 2024 16:44:02
??Apologies Ed001, thought one of you Ed’s were either a red or blue but wasn’t sure? Rather like calling all Londoners Cockneys!
⚒⚒⚒⚒
{Ed001's Note - ed25 is the bluenose, but we try not to hold it against him.}
7.) 12 Mar 2024 14:37:15
Ed001, I would be interested in Ed025s opinion of Moyes considering he was in charge there for some 11 years.
⚒⚒⚒⚒
{Ed025's Note - im not his biggest fan to be honest Chelmsford, hes a decent mid table manager for me and im afraid his style of football will always limit a team who have higher expectations mate, most of our fanbase could not wait to get rid of him to be honest as he had a defeatist attitude against the bigger teams which he described as taking a "knife to a gunfight", kudos to him though for winning the europa with you but i imagine you will see it as a long hard slog the longer he is there, this is not bitterness on my part just an honest view of how limited i think he is and how uninspiring the football he plays is, but good luck for the rest of the season..
8.) 13 Mar 2024 08:50:50
Ed025, thanks for an honest reflection on your opinion of DM on his 11 year year tenure at Goodison. It seems a perfect description of the way the majority of your fans thought about him and the way ours do! ?⚒⚒⚒⚒
{Ed025's Note - no problem mate..

1st post so be gentle eh? ?
So after watching us play in a way that probably cured insomnia for millions of insomniacs in January and February 2024. Moyes FINALLY gets a win and surprise surprise his loyal disciples at Sky and BT start trotting out the same old bull***t about his tactical brilliance and how we should all be winding our necks in and just thanking our lucky stars that he's made the decision to grace us with his presence! Well here's the thing Neville and Carragher! IF he's so f**king great why have neither of you EVER put his name forward to replace either Klopp or Ten Haag? I'll tell you why shall I? It's because YOU don't want either of your beloved f**king clubs playing in a way that sucks the bl**dy will to live out of you do you? As a fan of 40+ years I've been fortunate to see top class players playing for us and been lucky enough to see the likes of Allison and Greenwood change how the game was even being played! So don't you dare patronise me and thousands of others just like me by smugly telling us that the best we can ever hope for is Moyes's turgid, bland, un-entertaining take on how the game must be played! YES he won us a trophy (for which he should be thanked for) but he's also took an expensively assembled team to Villa and Fulham and conceded 9 goals, overseen a 6-0 drubbing at home to Arsenal, a 5 goal hiding at Anfield in a cup competition that we should be trying our best to win and defeat to lower league opposition in a cup competition that Wigan, Portsmouth and Leicester have somehow managed to win since we last won it 44 years ago!

Thought I was being quite tame TBH ? Can't be doing with another 2+ years of this dour unimaginative crap that's being served up and passed off as entertainment.

Welcome to the fold Dicksy1973, well said, you’ re like that unexploded Bomb in Plymouth waiting to go off only you didn’t need towing away and being dumped in the Sea! Yes lots feel the same mate, me similar to you!
Don’t go at all now due to age and travel time etc, only been to 4 games at London Stadium, but watched our beloved ⚒’s from about 1959 after I started work, all home and evening games, but worst performance’s in all that time despite DM’s stats which he is entitled to mention!

Haven't set foot in the LS after being a ST holder for 30+ years at UP! As for the dross that we've been playing IF that's what some of our fan base think is acceptable I have to question why they even became fans in the first place to be honest ?
5.) 28 Feb 2024 10:30:47
Wow Dicksy, I think your re-iterating what a lot of us have already said. Problem is that we need that nice balance of good entertaining football with a manager that wants to win games rather than set the team up not to lose. We;ve shown we can play good football when let off the leash, so why does Moyes persist with his defensive tactics? I tell you why, because he knows nothing else! Don;t credit MOYES with anything that went on at the LS on Monday night against Brentford. They are currently a poor team, lacking confidence and it showed. Take nothing away from the boys (Not MOYES), they had to earn it. On whole its what we want to see. Attacking football. Why does everybody love to watch Brazilian teams of the past? because they entertain.
All we want is a manager that will embrace that

“It doesn’t take a genius to realise it’s going to come to a head in the summer. Steidten and Moyes won’t both be at West Ham next season, I think that’s fair to say.”
David Moyes does not want a Technical Director overseeing what he does and things have come to a head
7.) 29 Feb 2024 06:07:22
Hi dicky well said fella I'm with you with these so called football experts who don't watch west ham like us I go to a few games but the brentford game was the first time there was any atmosphere and I smell a rat with the way we played and MOYES having a face like a smack arse when the final whistle went I think and hope that tactical performance was down to either the players saying feck you and doing what they wanted or it came from another source but I cannot wait for him to walk at the end of the season.⚒⚒⚒
8.) 02 Mar 2024 14:30:28
Whorya, I think and moreover hope you’re right with the players saying up yours we’ll play like we want too, I posted on here some time ago that I thought that’s what they should be doing, I certainly when I played didn’t look toward the Manager to see what he wanted me to do, I knew as a left winger what I wanted and needed to do, attack the full back and get the ball across or go for goal!
Said for a long long while the game has got far too technical, it’s a simple game, keep it bloody simple!
We don’t need overpaid pundits either with Lineker and his mates screwing the TV License payers money!

Gary O'Neil or Marco Silva would be my choices but this is Sully we're talking so more likely to see Rafa (God forbid) than those two.

Good win but this wasn't a Brentford who were playing with any confidence was it? I'll wait till 5pm on Saturday to see if we've turned things around and pulled out two positive results in back to back games against another club in relegation trouble.
