A 3-1 defeat being our 'performance of the season' as stated by some shows how bad we have played over the course of the season. credit to the lads they defending fantastically. However this is our problem as our top performances this season have been defensive and trying to hit them on the break. But, we have been getting better if late, and I have a feeling kagawa/mata will be the names on everyones lips next season ;). let's hope the transfers are right, again like most, Moyes wasnt our first choice and it will come back to haunt us sometime in the future but for now we stand by him and let's hope we can get top 4 next season.

My position is well known, but Moyes comment after the game where he said about getting back in the CL, "hopefully it will only be one year". He uses the word "hope" all the time and it isn't building confidence when we need a bit more Churchillian spirit when we are down. Leaders inspire and "hopefully" isn't inspiring anyone.
Even you used the word hope, so if our manager only "hopes" we can get back in it where does that leave us?
You say "we" stand by him, well some will, many won't, but what gives anyone confidence that he can do it as he has only managed to get Everton in once plus he just can't seem to win against big teams?

Agree he can't help it, he really does 'hope'we can get back in the champions league, we on the other hand demand champion league football at least but this loser is eroding out expectations daily! cue the spoilt fans bit from the persons who would follow this clown off a cliff!

Perhaps under Moyes we need to change the mantra from 'believe' to 'hope'

What makes football great is the unpredictability of the game. So you can say we demand CL football but if it doesn't happen then it wont. Its abit obvious that moyes is here to stay till atleast next season so shouldn't you be so fickle and start backing the team . Liverpool went through the same transition of different cirmumstances and so are AC Milan, so am sure we can be great again. Also its obvious that Moyes doesn't give the best of post match interviews, however its obvious that if he doesn't make CL then his job would be on the line. Therefore to use the word 'Hope' in the heat of the moment has nothing to do ith what he is realistically aiming for.

It isn't in the heat of the moment, he uses the word hope all the time. It is a state of mind and it comes over that he isn't convinced himself.

Liverpool took 24 years and still may not have cracked the league, they dealt quickly with Hodgson though.

IMoyes is negative manager and no amount of signings is going to change that.
Team played with spirit yesterday, but his substitutions were wrong again.and why did Rooney stay on when he was clearly not fit.
We seem to be going on about these things all season and yet nothing has changed.
I didn't think Bayern were brilliant in either of the games, and yet, we couldn't bring ourselves to have a go at them. Would it not have made sense to take Rooney/fletcher off and bring Giggs/Hernandez on. He could have played Giggs on the left and allowed welbeck and hernandez to get the goal we needed.
Also, buttner played well against robben in first game, and he knows his game well, so why change back to evra?
I give up!
