2025/26 David Moyes

[davek]

I expect Everton to win every game we play, maybe apart from City and Big Red away, possibly Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs as well.

But I certainly expect us to beat Wolves away.

I also realise we cant win every game, so when we dont win, well, thats football Dave.

That was a smack in the face for the fans of this club that divvy just handed out.

It wont be forgotten.

who got us to our last final btw?

Wrong question, getting to a final counts for sweet fa if you don't win it.

Making 7 changes with all our better players on the bench is not having a good go. And the players who came into the team also showed why they aren't good enough to play regularly.

A result on Monday doesn't make up for today. The next game is always the most important and until that becomes our mentality we will remain a club who aren't successful.

If I was defending him I would say he needed to know if those players were good enough.

He got his answer.

Wolves made loads of changes also, like or not and I know you dont, but PL managers use these games to give the squad players a chance, sometimes somebody grabs that chance and gives the manager options, that wasnt the case tonight.

We have different views on this, I agree with the changes, you dont, Im not saying im right you are wrong, its hard to argue with "Play your best team", so I wont, but I still believe we should make changes.

 

[Neiler]

Of course it's a chance of a trophy. If you are still in it, you can win it. Expectation? No. Hope.

And with Moyes and his pragmatism, that's really in short supply...

And, eventually, that catches up with you.

So we can continue to dilute it down….

By the same premise, we can hope to win the PL this season….still not likely is it.

Unlike the period under Moshiri, we’re now massively attractive to managers. PL football with no real prospect of relegation, no PSR constraints, funds in every transfer window, brilliant stadium, manager led recruitment.

I’d even wager that if the Friedkins really wanted to they could get any of Emery Glasner or Iraola here, the ceiling here is higher than what they can achieve where they are. I’d wager they could get Ancelotti back.

Moyes has to realise that he can’t throw this sort of thing any more. It’s not Bill and Elstone giving him carte Blanche any more. He is going to get himself fired unless he bucks up his ideas and quickly. Losing a derby and going out a cup in one week because you ‘weren’t ready’ and played a weakened team is always playing with fire as an Everton manager, or at least it should be. Give Moshiri his due at least before Usmanov pulled his money he at least tried to bring back a semblance of performance criteria to the manager position.

That's the only saving grace, that he's told in no uncertain terms tonight wasnt acceptable and if he can't rotate a squad thay barely plays once a week, then TFG will find someone who can.

Admit how happy you are?

You get to feast for weeks about this.

To be fair, its a lot easier coming into a team when there's only been a couple of changes. You can get away with so many changes when you're at home to a team from a lower division. Away to another Premier League team its a bit tricky, very frustrating as I think Wolves were there to be beat.

 

[maccavennie]

Comes across as a stupid tit.

 

[stretford blue]

Played really well second half wow

 

[NathDogg]

He just isnt arsed. Bread and butter league crap and not taking into account the desperation of Evertonians and the desire to get this 30 year wait & weight off our shoulders.

Just took the absolute piss tonight, just like every Manager since Royle has. Not good enough and any flak he gets his thoroughly deserved. Hes not beyond criticism and I hope those at the top make it very clear.

We're short in full back and up top positions but tonight's team selection was just him not taking care of business and opening us up to defeat.

You have to wonder what we doing in training and practice after a showing like tonight. Did they even train that formation or way of playing…..it doesn’t look like it.

I didn’t mind seeing a few changes tbh, I thought we could and should have had more than enough to beat wolves, but the set up and shape was all over the place, and it exposed the players he picked (McNeil and Coleman, and Tim to a degree). Just a mess, but still too many cowards in the squad.

Fair enough but its all irrelevant. Getting to finals means nothing unless you win them.

No, that's a false equivalence as you surely know. We know over 38 games we cannot win the league. But in knockout football over six or seven games, our chances rise hugely by comparison. It's why leagues - not cups - are generally used to determine the best team in the land.

tell it to the semi worshippers.
