2025/26 David Moyes

[Drico]

So I'm right. Thankyou.

Yes, Moyes can never win trophies for Everton. He just doesn't and won't.

I feel like we are the cause of our downfall. I wouldn't mind if we went out there tonight and tried to win. It's losing the way we did. On the back of a derby defeat, being belittled by 59000 fans, it should inspire you to want to thrash Wolves and move into the next round. Tonight reminded me of Leeds and players thinking they only have to show up. There was no desire to win, there's no drive in these players, go out there and be the best you can possibly be.

I thought it was much worse than Leeds. Their fans and players were up for it that night. Wolves couldn't be bothered but somehow they still managed to be more bothered than us.

If its 3 losses and a draw on Tuesday I think the pressure will start to build very fast.

He will flip it into pressure on the recruitment. He is good at working the media. He might have a fair point at that too.

Yes, Moyes can never win trophies for Everton. He just doesn't.

So why are you so upset at getting knocked out now instead of progressing through more rounds and risking injury, fatigue and suspension to the small pool of quality we have.

Yes, Moyes can never win trophies for Everton. He just doesn't and won't.

Which is why we should never have re-appointed the guy.

I know they have to try and put a positive spin on things but watching the interviewer search for positives on nights like this brings out an unhealthy amount of anger in me.

Proves there is still a mentality issue within the club with pathetic questions like that…absolute loser

Anything other than a convincing win against westham and the season will be looked at very different.

Lost at a poor Leeds, very lucky against Brighton, very lucky against wolves , what now seems a poor result against villa , derby defeat and out the cup.

So why are you so upset at getting knocked out now instead of progressing through more rounds and risking injury, fatigue and suspension to the small pool of quality we have.

Because the longer you stay in the competition, the more chance even somebody as cautious, risk-averse, and self-sabotaging as Moyes can get lucky.

What are we worried about injuries for? We will be playing one match a week for most weeks this season. We're not likely to be relegated. The manager left himself down big time tonight.

This is just a wild guess, but I'd say it was because football is all about winning trophies and we haven't won one in 30 years.

Absolutely the squad as discussed still is very light in key areas

100% mate, they completely bottled the appointment and went for mr comfortable. Not only that they upended the whole structure of the club for him.

It's a disastrous appointment.

I think when he started bitching from the US pre-season tour they must have realised what a blunder they'd made appointing him. They've learned at their leisure that his ego outpaces his ability to manage by a country mile. They must be kicking themselves now.

But Im looking forward to the day in the not too distant future when they correct that blunder and hand Moyes his P45 and a kick up the arse back up to Scotland. I'll celebrate that day.

If Moyes was a new manager who'd never managed us before you would have more of a point. But we've all watched Moyes for 10 years at Everton and we know him inside out. Half a good season isn't going to change Davek's mind and to be honest it's not going to change mine. Moyes is the master of the great half season when it counts for nothing.

He picked Barry didn't he? His track record on strikers is pretty poor so I won't hold my breath.

yea, no.

But

Yes, Moyes can never win trophies for Everton. He just doesn't and won't.

You're trying to have your cake and eat it. You want us to go on a long cup run just to say I told you so, while wetting your kecks tonight over a result that was predictable as every other season in the league cup.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

This is just a wild guess, but I'd say it was because football is all about winning trophies and we haven't won one in 30 years.

But according to him we weren't in with a sniff anyway because Moyes doesn't win things

 

[Drico]

Which is why we should never have re-appointed the guy.

Agreed.

He did well to get us safe so quickly. Kudos for that. Beyond that? We needed to show some ambition. Perhaps it was too soon to get to that point. Next summer, hopefully.
