The problem with us at the minute is so deep its hard to find an answer. Moyes plays unattractive defensive minded football and its changed everyhthing. For example why bring Smalling on against Chelsea when we are losing and Jones is already on the pitch. Drop Jones back and put on an atakers? g player we were losing 3-0 it didn't matter if it was more we just needed to bring around some belief and start the comeback.
The players don't look happy, they don't seem to be comfortable playing the way we are and as a result they can't pick themselves up, its heartbreaking at the minute watching them simply go through the motions without the passion andbelief we know they've always had.
Sacking the backroom staff was a massive mistake, bringing in Phil Neville with minimum experience was madness. I fear it is going to be a long time before we get going under Moyes and I'm not a moyes hater but I find it difficult to continue backing him when he doesn't seem to have the answers and ability to turn things around.
Our transfer dealings are farcical and I almost feel the Fellaini fee was Moyes last favour to Everton but I think that if he is to turn things around he is going to have to buy big and forget this whole looking for bargains as the market has changed and you have to spend. More so we NEED to spend to 1.show our stars we can spend and ultimately keep them 2.show the world we can still compete in the market and 3. Boost morale in these changing times. If this window is another failure I think someone's head is going to have to roll.
We will continue to stand by our club but I don't think anybody is prepared to watch a full season of what we are seeing now, I hope things change as the only other conclusion is a new manager and we don't want to go down that road although it is always an option.
Food for thought, any takers?

Unattractive defensive minded football is even ok if ya can defend properly and score on the counter attack! Boring yeah and I hate it but we'd have more points if done right! Mouriniho was a master at it with the likes on Inter and won the champs league! For a team playing defensive football we are a disaster! The defence and defensive midfielders (Jones) Are all over the place and if we relaying on welbeck on the counter with carrick and jones in cm its a joke at best!

100% Agreed! Why not give Kagawa a run? We needed 2 r 3 subs on at half time yet he persisted with the same Boll*ox tactics when it was clearly not working?? Sacking the backroom staff was the single biggest mistake, and that's saying somethin when ya see Fellaini playing! :'(
