This infographic says it all. David Moyes is a mid-table manager - a good mid-table manager, but a mid-table manager nonetheless. I remember telling a friend a few months ago, give him Stoke's resources and he'll put them in Everton's position; give him Man United's resources, and he'll still put them in Everton's position ! After 29 league games, this has proved startlingly true.
Let's not even talk about the cup exits, stone age tactics, defeatist press conferences, confused purchases, surprise team selections and puzzling substitutions. From where I'm sitting, it's patently obvious that the playing squad don't have the heart for the fight - at least not for David Moyes. And this is with me having reduced expectations for the season. I would have accepted 4th place even without a trophy to show, but what's really galling is that the performances have been so poor, so often. You'd be hard pressed to believe that this self same squad cantered to the League last season.
It'd take too long to go through the list of things that have gone wrong this season, but it's clear to me that it started with the appointment of Moyes as manager. So here's an appeal to the Glazers and Sir Alex,
Come the end of this season, please put Moyes out of his misery. You'll have to pay him another five years wages, but believe me, he'll cost you a lot more otherwise.
