It's been years since I've seen us play with a press, well since jan 2023. It's the most basic of basic coaching, yet we've been devoid of it since that time.
So much better, as most knew it would be, without that absolute waster.
Genuinely, he got 5m per year for what?? Zero coaching, zero shape, zero structure. Just 11 guys in some semblance of a formation, at least 10 of which behind the ball, hoping for the best. He should be absolutely finished after his time here.

I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with Tim Flowers
Consulting with Leighton Baines
And my orange head I'd be a scratchin'
While my bets were busy matchin'
If I only had a brain

Just watched his post match press conference.
No matter what you think of the man, he knows how to navigate a press conference.
This Moyes is a very different animal to the Moyes that left us, all those years ago. Very impressed.

Not really. I’m happy with our current form and believe Moyes has had a positive impact. I still think it would be silly to go too over the top after a couple of victories against poor sides. It’s hardly a controversial take for anyone who isn’t just posting to be a pain in the arse.
Just a couple of weeks ago, David Moyes said he "can't magician" Everton to scoring some goals.
Some quipped that they would have needed a Potter to conjure some wizardry after Englishman Graham took over at West Ham.
But Moyes is waving his wand again in his second spell at Goodison Park.
Ten was the magic number on Merseyside on Saturday. Abdoulaye Doucoure's goal after that many seconds came quicker than Moyes can say 'Expelliarmus' and the thrashing of Leicester was sealed by fans' favourite Iliman Ndiaye, who wears that particular shirt.
Moyes said: "The players have just given themselves a bit of confidence and positivity. We are only trying to give them as much confidence as we can.
"We have got a good strong base defensively and trying to find ways to score a few more.
"I am certainly not getting carried away. After eight seconds, I was thinking 'my goodness this is fabulous'. The second goal backed it up."
Saturday's impressive performance in the 4-0 triumph against the woeful Foxes means Everton have now scored eight goals in their past three matches, all wins.
It marks an incredible contrast to when Sean Dyche was in charge - only three of his 19 league games this season were won, with Everton failing to score in 11 of them.
But the win lifted the Toffees up to 15th in the table, nine points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand over the sides occupying the last four places.
"A brilliant result," said Moyes. "A great performance in many aspects; sometimes we didn't play quite so well. If you had given me three wins out of four games in the position we are in, I would say 'thanks very much' but to score the goals and we could have got a couple more... We are doing a lot of really good things."
Supporters may have wanted games to end early while watching the often turgid and one-dimensional style of play deployed by Dyche, but one fan was left asking for "20 more minutes" when the fourth official's board was held aloft in stoppage time.
At full-time, goalscorer Beto acted as the cheerleader, rousing those in the Gwladys Street End, Moyes waved towards those in the main stand with a beaming smile on his face, while the home faithful were left singing the club's 'Spirit of the Blues' anthem long after the final whistle.
Injuries to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti left Beto as Everton's only fit senior striker and the Portuguese stepped up when needed.
"I'm really pleased for Beto," Moyes said. "The people who have been here much longer than me will know more about Beto. I'm just getting to know him.
"He is a great kid, works hard in training, tries to improve himself. Sometimes in life, you need an opportunity. Today, he got an opportunity and the receptions he got coming off the pitch was as good as we've heard here for a long time.
"Good credit to him he stuck at it and took his two goals well."
Arne Slot's side are in imperious form, sitting nine points clear at the top of the table after beating Bournemouth 2-0 on Saturday.
Former Reds defender Stephen Warnock said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "Liverpool will now look back and wish they had played that game against Everton previously. Now, they have to face David Moyes.
"He knows how to set his team up for a derby and they are in good form now."
Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy added: "After 10 seconds and five minutes you are 2-0 down at Goodison against a team with most clean sheets. You give yourselves a mountain to climb and didn't come back from that.
"If you have a start like that, then it is difficult."

He's doing alright
