Please bare with me on this one.....
Moyes was asked how to stop Chelsea, his response was superb!
There is a hilarious ‘twist’ at the end of the interview when he named the sort of ‘player’ he needs ..... <laugh>
—————————————-

Meanwhile, Moyes says the way to stop Eden Hazard is to man-mark the Chelsea star – but he does not think he has anyone at West Ham capable of doing the job.

The Scot wants to tell one his players to track Hazard so closely that ‘if he goes to the toilet, follow him’ but is concerned he has no obvious candidate.

‘There are occasions when I would consider man marking – Hazard is a player who would definitely come into that category,’ Moyes said.
I've done it in the past with other players like David Silva at Manchester City. The problem is I don't know if I've got someone who is that type of player to be a man-marker. You have heard the saying “If he goes to the toilet, follow him”. I don't know if I've got that.

‘I had people at Everton who could do it. With Silva I think I might have put Jack Rodwell on him. It needs to be people who are athletic and quick.
———————————————-

So, this is how we should be employing Rodwell; marking the worlds best play makers out of the game... NOT chasing (I use the word loosely!) shadows in the bowels of the Chsmpionship <doh>
 
It's a fair point Moyes is one of the few people stupid enough to pay money for Rodwell. Sounds like he's got a Rodwell shaped bit of his heart missing and he wants it back.
