2025/26 David Moyes

[hallamblue]

In my opinion, our squad is somewhere between the 15th and 17th best in the Premier League. Whilst we are in that situation he's definitely one of the best men for the job. If we ever sign some players with pace and ability we should change the manager, but I have little faith in that happening.

For all the criticism I have for DM I think he’s the perfect fit for Everton at the current moment. The club is going through a huge transition and no one knows the club like him. We won’t be competing for trophies or Europe but he will keep us steady and hopefully lay the foundation for our first world class manager under the friedkin group. It’s just a matter of time.

I don’t see why he can’t compete for Europe this season. He’s done it before here and at West Ham with similarly limited sides.

There’s no firepower in the side. The squad is very thin, and the players we brought in bar Grealish are all very green. There’s also about 10 clubs in the league better than us. Europe would be too big of an ask especially during AFCON when we lose Gana and Ndiaye.

Yeah, because Marcus Bent was such a deadly forward! As long as the team as a whole can produce enough goals and the striker works hard and makes space for other players then we have a good shot.

Finishing in a European spot would be fantastic. If I were a betting man at this point in the season, I’d say we wouldn’t make top 5 or 6. I felt we might earlier in the season. It’s not because of how we’re playing. It’s because how much better the clubs ahead of us are playing. They have so much more depth and aggressive strikers. We just don’t yet. But what would be great, and I think is realistic, is to finish comfortably top 10 or higher and way ahead of relegation with weeks and weeks to go. That’s a realistic and achievable improvement from last year.

I’ll disagree with Davek on Dyche & Martinez but on Moyes he’s pretty much bang on! I’m sure he’ll be enjoying being back in charge of transfers and working with his favourite agents.

That's his game mate yeah.

He sees Everton as his personal fiefdom where he says who's employed...preferably his own family if possible.

To be steady near the bottom is dangerously naive…

 

[Swartzy]

Pure hyperbole, in terms of regular first team players we lost DCL, Doucoure, Young, plus a couple of back up goalies and Holgate/Maupay who hadn’t been near team/squad for a couple of years. We then chose to sell Chermiti. You can’t count loans FFS because zero stopping us from getting an equivalent number of loans in if we wanted too.

What really did you expect us to get with 100m after the trainwreck we've been in for years now.

Sure the abundance of talent out there were queuing up at our door pleading for the chance..

Wake up m8, we have to build a structure to appeal to the players we or you might want..

Moyes has spun an underwhelming story about Everton for years, and it's accepted as reality by most supporters now.

“If you can control what people hear, you can control what they believe. And if you control what they believe, you control what they’ll tolerate.”

Not near the bottom I think mid table or 11,12,13 is reality. We’re in no danger of relegation. There are 3 clubs that are way worse than us at the moment. To get Europe we need to outperform Brighton, Newcastle, villa, Bournemouth, palace, and United. Too much to ask for and yes we beat palace but over the course of a season they will amass more points than us.

What i can hear, what i can believe, what i can tolerate, don't play a part in what i see, And I see we have improved from where we were..

Your statement above looks more like you're the one playing the control game...

The thing for me to consider the season a success is finishing top 10 or higher. The reason for that is when we were under Dyche and facing relegation and got destroyed with a points deduction, if you add our points back we would’ve finished with 48 points and 12th place. Everything has improved for us since then. New owners, stadium, better players, no PSR trouble. If we finish 11th through 13th, that’s a step backward as I see it.

The starting XI is barely any different in quality to what it has been the last 3 years. We seem to have spent £100m on squad players who are nowhere near ready.

 

[matty1878]

What good work?! The guys has dictated we ditch the DOF Role and then spunked £100m and hasn’t improved us.
