"Sell him Showboating twat 85 million ?, you're having a laugh !"

Not a medical man but given he was allowed to start at Arsenal you'd imagine you'd be very cautious and keep him in cotton wool til the Sheff Utd game rather than risk him v Bristol. Calf injuries are very temperamental so better to be cautious. Hopefully 2 months is pessimistic

"Agree to a point Pickle! but how do you not know the medical staff had told Moyes he was good to play? Maybe even the player himself thought he was ok, it's by no means certain this is all down to Moyes. But he should perhaps clarify..........."

"Paqueta was not fit to start last game and had to leave the field within 10 minutes. Those are the facts of this contingency - how a manager's responsibility is interpreted in this light largely depends on your own capacity to manage and take responsibility. I say Moyes should stand up and say ""I took a risk and now he's out for xxx according to the medical staff"". And I say Moyes's failure to do the basics in pretty much every contingency is glaring."

I'm just glad we can slag Moyes off for playing someone instead of resting them

"Does anyone know the ""official"" verdict of what is wrong with him and this injury and importantly when he is back? We seem to swing from a week or 2 to being totally crocked for at least 2 months. All we have from the man himself is calm down?"

Even someone with an eyesight way worse than the real Marty Feldman. Could see how good pacqueta is . Unbelievable the amount the slagging off he's got on here . He's Gascoigne with a left foot . If he played for the N17 mob the media would be rimming him as much as they'd be sucking him off .

Ha ha criticism of Moyes’s management is BAD-MOUTHING BROOKING. Truly the curse of the absurd flabby over-inflated ego strikes again.

Fucking hell has some thick Moyes rimmer just linked the possibility of Moyes managing a master craftsman of a footballer in Sir Trev? Guess who would be getting cunted off by the Moyes brigade because he tried to do a neat one/two in the oppositions half…..and lost the ball because there was no one there to do the one/two with….

moyes wasn't interested in paqueta as he was busying tripping over his own tongue lusting over lingard. he didn't even know how to use him until after the world cup where it was clear he was better in a deeper role.

"Extra Thick Lubricant. 'you lot' are the ones that think we're capable of better football, so this latest moronic narrative should be kept inside that peanut brain of yours. the only ones who bad mouthed paqueta are now the ones rimming moyes on a daily basis"

Bet you lot would have bad mouth Brooking if this site was around in his time . cant you just enjoy his skills? to much to ask?

Think he was asking us to “stay calm” rather than “calm down”. Use the existing thread etc.

Ah OK. How about “privileged” or “very fortunate”?

"Hammer and Pickle 2:15 Fri Dec 8 Well, you say Moyes is a very, very lucky boy to have him. But if the club has targeted Paqueta and Moyes sanctioned the move, then is he lucky? Its like saying Guardiola is lucky to have Haaland. Or Spurs are lucky to have Madison. Klopp with Salah. The clubs went out and got these players so its not really luck, is it?"

"I’m sure we’ve all seen that pic of him on the deck looking up as his plan to force his man into a foul came off. It must be a nightmare to contain him and he was literally everywhere last night as he galvanised them into that second half performance. Moyes is a very, very lucky boy to have him."

Yeh you’re best off making the most of the time you have left.

"And you're a liar goose and I can't be arsed to argue with a spamming, waste of time, wanker liar..."

actually i do have a beard and i'm itching it right now. if it was an attempt at humour (it obvs wasnt) then it was shit. so are you stupid or unfunny? or both. i'm going for both.

Think about it goose. Don't know why DiCanio played so much and WH fans only had one song. You don't have a beard and it was a wind-up so just get over it.

"Yeh it is as deffo a wind-up, well played Will. **itches beard** Paqueta will start wide left tonight, the right back will press so he constantly receives the ball with his back to goal and has to pass backwards. Good times ?üëç"

"Teams have worked out that the way to neutralise the Paquet?° threat is to get the ball out wide quick where he has to come to it. Than if he gets it, crowd him out or cut out his pass to any forward player who can do anything with the ball, which eliminates Soucek. Odd isn‚Äôt it that Moyes still hasn‚Äôt seen it."

"""Of course he's not spending 90 minutes on the left wing, no players stays in one position for a whole game, be he is playing left midfield and spends most of his time there. To make out it's any different is bizarre."" This. Not sure you even need to be sat in the stadium live to realise this."

"fraser - Yep, all fair enough, also because Paqueta isn't a natural wide man he is naturally going to want to come inside more where he is used to playing, where say with Benny or Cornet that's their natural position so are more likely to stay out there. The obvious question is why Moyes doesn't see it, well he does of course, but has to fit in potato salad no matter what. I'll stick me neck out though and say I fancy we might see a change tonight, think Moyes has been hinting at it too after Palace."

"Manuel - of course that's true. But I'm over by the left hand corner flag and so many times we get the ball there's never an option there. Even if Emerson gets it he often has to turn back or come inside.. So we're predictable, and slow with it... We're easy to defend against we rarely open teams up. JWP was over there Sunday when we scored the goal, we actually moved the ball quickly but we rarely do."
