David Moyes faced criticism for his decision to start Brazilian star Lucas Paqueta in the FA Cup match against Bristol City. The midfielder had just returned from an injury that sidelined him for the Brighton game and was substituted off within the first 10 minutes due to a potential knee problem.

This injury scare followed a similar situation in previous games, notably during the victory over Arsenal and the win against Tottenham, where Paqueta required treatment for related issues.

Playing 27 games this season might have taken its toll on Paqueta, despite his impressive performance, contributing five goals and six assists in various competitions.

Despite his crucial assist setting up Jarrod Bowen’s goal, Moyes might regret risking Paqueta’s fitness for this match, especially considering his vital role in the team.
