Moyes might just be taking a common sense approach.
Seems like quite a precious group of players who need a lot of arms round the shoulder. I’m not really expecting Moyes to come out and say we’ve missed an opportunity, he might feel he needs to keep the players in a good mood until we’re safe. He’s been far harsher on much better players in the past at Everton.
Beto, Doucoure, Harrison, Lindstrom, Patterson Keane OBrien Calvert Lewin all seem to need the arm round the shoulder to play better.
I can’t imagine Howard Cahill Carsley Jagielka Gravesen Pienaar Fellaini needed that. He’d give them down the banks then you’d get a response the next game. I’m just not sure there’s much point doing that with these players until we’re safe.
He probably sees Tarkowski Mykolenko Pickford Gana Garner Branthwaite as more akin to the mentality of his previous squads
