"To be honest Swansea should have been out of site by half time. Some of their football was sublime" - Stoke Fan "Much appreciated, you are the best team to visit the Britannia this season by a long way, good luck for the rest" - Stoke Fan Link:http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/280825-The-Pride-of-Wales?p=7202085&viewfull=1#post7202085 Our football has definitely improved under Monk, but there are some issue that need urgent attention, firstly our strikers are responsible for hitting the back of the net, and they are not, they are being propped up by our midfield at present, secondly Monk needs to sort out his timing of subs, and his choice........
Agree. If Moyes had £28 million to spend on a striker during his time at Everton they'd have been in the top four. Some people seem to have forgotten that he is a top class manager who was limited to a third tier budget for 10 years.
I knew Moyes was going to run onto trouble when he got a huge budget at ManU , he works better finding good players for cheap , much like Martinez.We would be a perfect club for him to get back to our old transfet ways...buy low, sell high.
Hence Monk becomes his number two. We can play the same style but Moyes can sort out the defensive and second half issues.
I maybe will concede that point actually, bit early yet though, Monk needs more time, Why was Moyes there though?
Scouting his rivals before taking over at Newcastle maybe? One thing that Moyes would guarantee is that our defensive game would be rock solid and the players concentration/effort levels would be spot on for 90 mins.
There are 3 games i could mention we could have won if we had proper finishers, that is not monks fault. They are not finishing off the sterling work everyone else is doing creating chances for bony and the other probable goal scorers to put away the ball. How is that in anyway monks fault....he should drop bony for a while as he is not producing enough to warrant him being the main striker. fair play to monk he praises him and encourages and plays him, so what is monk suppose to do....the rest of the team are producing enough to win games...
I admire your loyalty to what is looking more and more like a lost cause but why do you have revert to name calling? It is interesting that many who were totally in support of Monk pre-season are becoming disillusioned, not necessarily with points but with performances. We all want our team to succeed which is why we criticise on here but give total support at games (which you would Knopf you attended games).
I supported Monk at the outset and I still do now. Don't honour yourself by claiming you are the voice of the people, because you're not. You're the voice of yourself.
As we all do , thats not to say that he (Monk) is beyond criticism when it's valid and to be fair most on here recognise that fact and can debate without fear of ridicule or put downs .
