Romey 1878 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Moyes would hate this idea, he'd cry not being able to have 8 defenders on the pitch at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 To be fair, highlighting a pre-season game at home using this system could be used as an experiment. I like the idea (as a fan) but it'll never happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus jones Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Moyes ''Bill, for the love of God please get the phone companies to cut all the mobile signals, there's still over 89 min left to play and they want to take Vic off''!

pete0 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'd like it if it was used for set pieces. Baines is great, but he shouldn't be taking every set piece as it gets a bit stale a la Arteta, plus Hibbo deserves a chance from the spot.

MikeO Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 ....plus Hibbo deserves a chance from the spot. That would be an absolute cert if the crowd chose . Except maybe if it was 2-2 in the 89th minute of a derby....possibly we'd stick with Baines then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
