← West Ham Managers

Fact or complete fiction from Flopetegui? πŸ˜‚πŸ‘€

I think there must be a point in the progression when good managers decide to play a safe system: they aim to defend, then aim to get a goal late in the game. Lots of top sides do that. But Moyes got called boring, when he was aiming for the next level and trying to create a possession-greedy side, which doesn't take risks.

When moyes was allowed to go from underdog manager to be the British pep. Thats where it all toppled over. To do so needed rice to commit, and build around him. Rice left because he knew Sully couldn't buy everyone moyes needed to be pep v2.0, so nr ego moyes, on back of his redemption thought he could turn the aging players he had into man city.

I think management must be a lot about man management and mentoring players. Moyes obviously did that fantastically well, and Nuno is doing it well now. In fairness, the fans didn't seem to want to give Moyes a chance. They were too negative.
