Now attack Moyes – this is what we have cried out for
Right now, the team has some incredible players, and when they attack on the front end, they can breach any defence.
Before these players are lured away to “bigger” teams, I myself want to witness their skills.
After significant criticism, the manager chose an offensive lineup and gave the go-ahead to secure a decisive victory.
Our gifted attackers were obviously relishing the chance to showcase their skills as they delivered with a swagger and enjoyed the assignment.
Lucas Paqueta’s annoyance at being substituted on the hour was a perfect example of this; it was obvious that he was enjoying the attacking strategies.
It has been difficult to watch them play with straight jackets for the majority of the season because we have never had such an abundance of attacking talent at our disposal at one time. Some of these players might not be around next season, and most of us want to see them play to their strengths like they did last night.
I get that having the players available and healthy is crucial, but Paqueta, Mo Kudus, and Jarrod Bowen were at their very best when the team decided to drop JWP and reorganise the attack with a reinvigorated Mikey Antonio at the front of the queue.
The four people who were put in their optimal places performed, and there are indications that Danny Ings is a candidate as well.
