2024/25 David Moyes

[Bluewolf]

I know how it works, and Moyes was very bad at it - gave all impetus to the opposition. Look how many late goals we conceded under him with shots from distance. Other low block sides never seemed to concede anywhere near as many shots from distance.

Seriously, watch our old games back, the amount of goals from distance we let in was crazy.

Their supposed to take shots from distance. Thats one of the main things. Its percentage based strategy and one of the main things is to frustrate your opponents into taking shots with relatively low xg percentage.

Obviously some shots will go in from distance thats just lore of averages also id add to that that imo howard wasnt a very good keeper. Trust me the way moyes implemented it was good, very good in fact.

He didnt get us were we were as a club without a good defence under moyes

 

[Toffeelover]

Not enthusiastic on his return but will have to put up with it.

Would have preferred a younger totally new manager to us.

Why are people holding a 12 year grudge over a comment that probably wasn't even true. Strange behaviour.

 

[davek]

He's spot on too.

This is going to be an almighty scrap to stty up. Harder IMO than if we'd stuck with Dyche who these players all play for 100%.

Tried too hard on that one Dave, you’d been doing really well up until then.

You don’t half chat some wham mate.

Can’t wait for his first Sky interview, in the old office, in the beige cardigan, top secret coded whiteboard magnets in the background, then we can hear about how low the club is in the league, in confidence, in fitness, in belief yadda, yadda, yadda….
Lowering the bar sufficiently so his 12th place finish this season can be seen as a great achievement.

I bet he even says he’s had to change the menu in the canteen from vindaloo and pie and chips or whatever Dyche set out.

I’d be delighted to finish 12th

Nah they used to hate him they basically bullied him out of the club Patterson was the ring leader apparently

We'll see.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Imagine anyone listening to Merson and saying “there’s a man who makes sense”. The fella’s head is scrambled.

If merson says something, it's safe to say the opposite is true.

Lee Carsley who has zero experience as a premier league manager, zero experience in a relegation battle, you agree with him do you? go to bed old man.

 

[Nyhus]

If you asked me who is the better manager, Moyes or Dyche, id say Moyes every time. So i guess its an upgrade on what we had, even if its basically just returning to where we were a decade ago. I dont think Moyes is going to transform us into a top 8, sometimes top 6, side like he did the first time around, but i do expect him to improve upon whats there.

It was just a matter of time before he returned here, so even if i didnt want him back it was so expected im not really having any reaction to it.

 

[DanB90]

I support Everton not a manager.

I support EVERY single Everton manager. Can you say the same?

But if you feel happy deflecting from your disloyalty by making my loyalty look like a wind up, be my guest...

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Merson ABSOLUTELY LOVES being wrong about Everton by the way.

So for me this is a seal of approval.
