Moyes has his favourites we all know that but now surely even he sees that the following are just squad players unless they drastically improve....Benni Soucek Coufal Lanzini Oggy Antonio! Cresswell....

Eyebrows raised no doubt when Antonio mentioned but some of his performances have been bang average and Scamacca his competition is getting better each week and there is a lot more to his game than Ants....could they play together as a pair? not sure will we ever see that under Moyes.

Johnson back from injury and once again played as a left back that has to be frustrating but with Kehrer/Ashby able to play right back Coufals days are numbered and Johnson is going to have to get used to playing on the left unless Moyes thinks about putting Emerson there.

Lanzini is past his best he has been a good servant but every dog has its day and his is now past....Soucek has got to really up his game now with Downes showing given the chance he deserves to start...yes the opposition was not great but you only play whats put in front of you and for me he has played his way into the Fulham game but with Moyes you just know he will be on the bench.

Oggy bless him still can do a job but injury and father time is catching up with him so as a sub i think he is nailed on and for the European conference league not a problem.

I do hope Moyes now makes full use of the players he has and not stick to his tired old tactics and team selection and let the players have a bit more freedom on the pitch esecially at home.

Scam,2 pints,Downes,kehrer all start for me...
Fab/ nipples not much to choose between them.Bowen is getting back to his best,like you Mac I reckon Ants would benefit from being next to Scam but Moyes won't play 2 up top.Cornet to come back,Aguerd ( who?) hopefully will be a good signing & Dawson has to start every game....keep reading the org moyesy you know it makes sense!;)

Well that match tonight in the euro conference was one of the best performances ive seen in ages ,it was what i used to say when we were really good ,you couldnt pick a motm because they were all very good ,i noticed a remarkable change in most of them ,but the most notable change i saw was in Souchec when he came on ,he was all over the place ,hungrey for the ball and a few good moves ,i noticed too a real comradery between all the players ,somethings changed ,it was like " who needs a central striker ",any one of five of them had good chances .
I know the opposition were a heap of horse manua and we only won 2 - 1but there was something very good tonight,let not revert back to our dreary old selves in the prem .
