Moyes has been at Everton for nearly 6 years. Do you think they would be where they are now if they sacked him when they weren't doing so well during the 2005-2006 season when they finished 11th? The board gave him time and support and he came through it and has steadily improved Everton.
Clueless!
ERrm, yes moyes had a semi bad season, but again look at the differences. He's building a club and bringing them up, he's bought them a long way. Liverpool were an established top 4 side before Benitez joined. Everton were most certainly not, 11th based on a few years before isn't bad for Everton, where if pool who'd been a top 4-5 team for a lot longer had dropped that much it would have been a monumental error.
Benitez is the problem, Lucas has looked ok/good in some games, but the biggest wins against the likes of derby and well, some other terrible teams don't make Lucas a great player, he's been truly truly awful in a lot of games.
Benitez buys lots of very very average players. He also buys a lot of semi great players who just aren't consistant. Torres was overpriced, everyone else gave up on him because he was a completely inconsistant player and he is a fairly poor finisher. hesky could have scored a hatrick against boro, they left an open goal twice for him and the 3rd was shocking defending aswell. West Ham are having a big dip in form at the moment also with even in their best form a defence massively prone to mistakes in every position.
I'm sorry but you only have to look at what liverpool say and how they play. They are just really bad in way to many games. Both the manager, and most of the players like Gerrard recently insist they have the players and the squad and are fed up of always playing for next year. though, the question has to be asked. if they HAVE the players AND the squad, then why aren't they top???????
Because both Gerrard, and other players, and Benitez believe they do have the squad. they've said it for the last 3 years, and yet failed to get anywhere near the title. Surely a good manager would say he didn't have the right players or the squad. Its one of three things, the players,the tactics or a combination of both. Either way the manager is to blame.
All this scapegoating of your owners who dumped a large chunk of money on players. You forget, they did buy everyone Benitez wanted, what exactly else do you expect of them? Do you want them to go and buy players for the manager and insist he play them like at Chelsea? Or did you want them to tell Benitez he could have the money to replace the entire squad? even though the manager and the star players seem to think they have the right squad as it is?
You can bring in a billionaire, but if the manager says he has the squad and only wants a couple of key players, and they gets them and you still suck. Is that the owners fault of the manager for being completely unable to recognise whats going on.
You're biggest "big game" player was probably Garcia, selling him was a horrific mistake. He consistantly scored in the CL and against the top 6 in the prem, perfect for Rafa's rotation, but got crap from the fans for not scoring against the bottom half of the table.
Oh well, campaign to get rid of the owners who have done exactly as your manager has asked, and make sure you keep the manager who doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the title in the next decade.
Both Gerrard and Benitez both seem incapable of recognising why they aren't top. They both insist there is nothing wrong at all, but they just aren't top. Doesn't that give you a slight worry that neither are capable of taking you to the top?
