David Moyes will be named Manager of the Decade after his masterstroke of tactical genius, which he revealed to an ecstatic press conference this week.
“For the remainder of the season, Everton players will no longer be allowed to pass the halfway line,” the wiry ginger one explained. As a recognition of the dearth of fit strikers Moyes has finally thrown in the towel and decided to adapt a new system to suit his meagre resources.
The Scot went on to expand on the “No Way over Halfway” formation he plans to institute. “This will create a much tighter space in which Philip Neville can weave his particular brand of dribbling magic. It will also give Tony Hibbert an opportunity to test out his long range shooting skills.”
“Any attempt to increase the number of goals from inside one’s own half has to be applauded and David is going to be recognised for his outstanding contribution to the game,” gushed a Premier League spokesman.
When asked about his achievement, Moyes was wreathed in modesty “ Och, it’s nothing really. I just came up with it whilst I was in the bath. It was a real eureka moment.”
The stat's speak for themselves ... in the last month alone - Everton have played 500 minutes against red jersey football: Liverpool thrice, Man Utd. and Arsenal - across the board they have scored as many times. The openning FA Cup games seeing a Toffee Team - without a recognised striker - collectively valued at £ 500,000 less than the blond bomber Torres - fear not Mr Foster the boys in blue know only too well where the goal is ... and which side of the half way line to inflict necessary damage.
ReplyDeleteYou might wish to have a word with Mr Megson too.
The value of Mr Moyes' judgement perhaps to be even more appreciated with the recent descovery that Mr Jo too has remembered where the sticks lie.
With the recent team's form showing little change I look forward to your blog confirming the chances of Mr Moyes receiving his 3rd Manager Of The Season award.
Fair comment and Moyes has performed mini miracles over the years of penury at Goodison. He deserves many accolades for his achievements and the odd slice of mickey taking should not detract from that.
