for not letting us get lulled into forgetting what a clueless moron you are in big games. We were in danger of doing so in the last few weeks.

Just seen a IMWT status update.....feel like committing, i feel sorry for fans who believe in him i really do

[ToffeeTez]

To be honest mate, I think the players let him down tonight, his two centre backs were thicker than a bunker wall and just wanted to invite pressure onto themselves. Not to mention the midfielders in front of them weren't closing down quick enough either.

His captain let him down big time (again) and we were unlucky with the last 2 goals and not scoring with Saha's chance.

Moyes isn't absolved of blame but he hasn't lost us this tie, we did that last week mate.

I confess I was starting to believe in him again after the Chelsea and United games - but tonight has made me realise that those really are one-offs... even Sam Allardyce gets big results occasionally.

I really can't fathom how some people's faith can be THAT blind.

[ToffeeTez]

He needs to take his own blind faith out of some of his players, Yobo is a joke and Neville shouldn't be first choice now but he insists on going with them.

he's a rich mans Steve McLaren, one off amazing results, rest of the time distinctly average

The players were under instructions from Moyes to play like they did.

We clearly set up to preserve the lead rather than play like we did against United. I.e. to not lose, instead of to win. Far too negative, and that's Moyes' fault.

I'm sure Moyes could tell Yobo to stop hoofing. You can't seriously be telling me that Moyes has told him firmly not to do it, yet he continues to do it pretty much every time he gets the ball.

His captain did let him down, but who is it who's stuck with his esteemed captain for longer than he should've done? Who is it who's refusing to give the talent of Seamus Coleman a chance to shine? Neville's failings are mainly through age, any idiot can see he's past his best and needs phasing out.

Moyes is an idiot who gets lucky. He can be good in the media and play mind games. But tactically he is awful, bad football, bad substitutions and negative football.

Carlisle played better than Sporting at Goodison.

We should of at least gone into that second leg with a 2/3 goal advantage.

Difference being Sam Allardyce got results with negative, long ball football with a rigid two banks of four. The results against United and Chelsea meant so much because of the way we actually played. We played them off the park, football-wise. We were also the better team at the Emirates and against them at Anfield.

As Tez said, the players have cost us last night in the main, and a special mention to young Jack Rodwell. Moyes holds some of the responsibility, I agree, but to pin it on him is quite unfair. None of our players truly showed up.

that is the biggest load of tosh i have seen..did you not watch the game.if you did then you would hear the commentator in the first half on channel 5 sayin "moyes is telling his defence to push up,even arteta is telling them" but they didnt push up, so if your sayin moyes instructed them to sit back and play like that then your fuckin stupid.

Fuck off you gang of moaning winnits, the players are the ones to blame not fucking moyes beating man united and chelsea in the space of 2 weeks prove what a great manager he is, but no. one slip up and you are on him like a bag of shit. Nothings ever good enough for fans like you's, moaning 24 fucking 7 about something or other.

One slip up?

I bet you'd feel different if you'd been to Lisbon twice this season Joe.
