The return of David Moyes

[Billy Dean]

Tony Bellow basically Jizzing over appointment so it’s a no for me

It's going to be quite depressing. All Bill's old crew getting back together.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Some of the football under Moyes was brilliant.

Baines Pienaar Osman Arteta all in tandem Lescott bringing out the back, Cahill linking with Yakubu

When it was good it was very good

Took him a while to get that team together. Do you think we have any of those kind of calibre players now?
N’Daiye maybe and Branthwaite. No one else comes close with this lot.

Anyone expecting anything other than a continuation of more pragmatic football under Moyes is in for a shock. Well, a disinterested yawn maybe.

 

[blulouie]

12 years is a long time in anyone's book.

Says more someone who carries that nonsense round with them to be honest mate.

It's football....not life or death.

Wait til he brings his ole mates backroom team with him and starts chatting about the good old days with his friend Bill

Somethings will never be forgotten.

 

[DualityNSNO]

No it wasn’t.

Maybe an overstatement but we've had some absolute shockers, close to Dyche levels, or even equaling but just for a game, rather than you know, 10 years.

 

[matty1878]

I don’t know if he suggested it or anything, but Bobble said Thelwell is right on board with the Moyes appointment and that there was unity amongst everyone at the club on the appointment.

why would they listen to thell bell if he’s getting legged in the summer

 

[tonyhorne]

Why can't it just be trying to put out a fire?

We need to stop just trying to do this and actually put the sodding blaze out ...

 

[BloodOnTheTrax]

Happy clappers are out in force bringing out the nostalgia of 8th place finishes.

They all conveniently forget we had far, far better players doing the attacking and that Moyes will absolutely be continuing the Dychian philosophy of "Clean sheet first".

You know you would snatch an 8th place right now.

Well, pragmatic would make sense, but we've gone on to want pragmatic football and hired two managers who aren't pragmatic, so that might be one of the issues.

we have. but he’s still better then dyche

and it’s sad that’s were we are at right now

 

[Delargeinho]

The football was so boring under Moyes.

We won a game 5:1 under Dyche as well.

 

[DualityNSNO]

That's just about everyone though Matty.

Yeah, no one needs to see that.

 

[Victus]

I've slept on it

I've deliberated, digested and congitated and I've come to the conclusion that I simply can't be arsed with Moyss coming back.

Everything about Everton is just so meh isn't it.

I'm the opposite. Moyes was the last time I really loved Everton, it's been downhill since he went, hope he can bring some pride back to the club, it's been missing for a while now.

Yeah exactly, it wasn’t a trend that went on for whole seasons. Those one off shockers we had under Moyes, they were literally the norm under Dyche.

As I’ve said many times, you simply cannot compare the two as managers. They operate at entirely different levels.

That’s down to player quality, which is the point I’ve been making for ages.

It will be pragmatic at first for sure but Moyes has shown that he can improve a teams style over times better players.
