2024/25 David Moyes

[Marius57]

He's getting his chance. I've already said he has improved the way we've been playing and is a better manager than Dyche if we want to push a bit further up the table.

But that's football.

Im not talking about football.

If he's here for 2 more seasons Ilm not going to start hoping we do badly; always want his to win regardless of who the manager is.

But I'll hope he's moved out this summer because his presence is nauseating due to his snide history with the club, its supporters and its No.1 legend.

Besides, there's plenty of better managers out there than Moyes if we really do want to kick on.

Unless it’s against a team that may impact Liverpool’s title run right?

You are 100% correct in saying there are plenty of better managers out there than David Moyes but you have to acknowledge two things

(1) none of the better managers were going to come to Everton, look at our stock in the transfer market, we can’t attract a run of the mill player, they prefer other clubs;
(2) we needed a manager who could manage the situation we were in, better managers may not have been able to do that.

I don’t think David Moyes is the long term answer, I would like to see the club in a position were we could appoint a young forward looking manager and provide him with the money and time to implement his vision. Unfortunately we are not a that point. David Moyes is not the solution to Everton’s problems but he may very well be the start of the solution. We need wins, he has provided three, we need a team spirit, he seems to have provided that, the fans needed to see a club that was trying, again he seems to have provided that. Now we need to get the playing side sorted from top to bottom, it is a big job but I believe he can do it. I am not sure he will see out the 2.5 years of his contract, hopefully he will be in a position to hand over the reigns of a club heading in the right direction at the end of next year. If not I am not overly concerned, he has improved things, I see no reason why he can’t keep making improvements.

DM admitted he is only a stop gap for 2 years .....

 

[maccavennie]

He is. But O'Brien himself isn't getting up the pitch and he wont have been told to by Moyes.

I think any notion that Moyes is replicating the golden era of Baines/Coleman bombing on each flank needs rebuffing. I know that's not what you're saying, but we dont have the personnel for it...just as we didn't under Dyche.

If Moyes stays beyond the summer he'll make both FB positions priorities.

100% we don't have the personnel currently mate. Just having the full backs starting position about 15/20 ydss further up the pitch makes a huge difference in how the team can squeeze the opposition better.

We'll need 2 new progressive full backs next season and I expect O'Brien will revert to his natural centre half position

 

[jayden28]

So called experts comparing dyche to moyes ffs.

 

[windymiller]

Well that’s an improvement on what the last fella was serving up as he got 1 point from the reverse fixtures against the same poor sides

They're poor sides when Moyes plays them, we can't possibly expect a win against them when Dyche plays them. It's the Dychette mantra.

 

[Syphon]

Legend. People actually doubted him…

 

[Delargeinho]

I wasnt sure on moyes coming back, but looking at it now, he was the right manager. He is still defensively minded enough to not break up the solid defence that was already in place, whilst tweaking what we had attacking wise.
Loving the comments he makes when 3-0 up "go and get another goal".

What really impresses me is how we switch from 4 or 5 back within the game effortlessly.

Sometimes back four with O Brien and Myko full back, but also sometimes 5 back with O brien as a 3rd cb and myko and lindström as full/ wing backs.

Very hybrid.

 

[badloaf]

Dunno how you can say that about Allardyce. He was only here for six months!

And he brought Tosun and Walcott to the club. That’s a fair bit of damage.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

No ones more happy than me.

That doesn't mean I ever forget what Moyes did last time around.

You see, it;s possible to have those two emotions at the one time.

The embarrassment of a lot of our fans yesterday singing his name a decade after screaming at him what a ginger get he was and that he's "getting sacked in the morning".


Absolutely cringeworthy.

The only thing that's cringeworthy is you incessant need to play contrarian on every single thing like you're an attention starved man-child.

I think Moyes has tactically improved

 

[FinnTrikker]

Actually looks like they are being coached.....

 

[Trublue12]

I think Moyes has tactically improved

Think it's as much, he is able to change tactics, to suit the personnel he has available. Dyche is one plan and can't or won't change. I think it's the later. Managers have different ideas of good players etc. Duccs was on his way out, when Dyche came in. Then scores some of the most important goals in our modern history.

No one is saying Moyes is the greatest manager in the world. But he has. Consistently been a top half challenging for European football manger, more or less throughout his carrier. Seems that's our first step from religation fights, to me?

Become a parody if itself lately that account.

Trying way too hard and it’s just sad now.
