2025/26 David Moyes

[Ragnar]

What annoys me the most is we desperately needed fullbacks in the summer, and we pis*** 100m on players that sit on the bench and can’t even make a bang average Everton team.

 

[Axlswhk]

All teams need to do is put 2 or 3 players on Ndiaye & Grealish.

They can give KDH the run of the park as they know he will just look left for his mate Grealish or disappear.

No others break forward with intent and the ability to deliver.

Just mark 2 wide players and you win.

Right wing is less of a concern. Ndiaye is fine on his own as he can dribble past defenders with ease and provides high work rate without the ball. Left flank is our biggest concern, lack of balance and targeted relentlessly by spurs yesterday.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I'm not surprised, You are being very silly on KDH Zat. He never asked to play there and has said its not his best role yet is still up there for created chances, passes into the final third etc,etc. Its on Moyes that not the player, and he loves a square peg in a round hole, it must be the Scottish version of total football or something. Yes Rohl has had a few injuries but if we can get on top of it (he is fit now) and manage his minutes then he is 100% our best midfielder by a mile. Branthwaite doesn't look especially robust these days and I doubt you want rid of him.

Rohl hasn’t even started a PL game. This feels like a huge leap.

Grealish & KDH.



Where has the £116mil come from because it seems like a fair bit more to me.



That should be the plan.

Its incredibly one dimensional and boring to watch compared with Ndiaye on the right.

If Ndiaye was on the left id wager he'd have a few more goals cutting inside.



Yes and in that front 4 teams can put 2 or 3 on Ndiaye & Grealish as they know KDH and Beto wont do anything.



Moyes clearly signed off every signing.

Hes the one not playing them.

But thats not really the issue. The issue is the "ready made" player(s) hes signed.



Everyone would surely say Gana.

For me, should be him out and Alcaraz in with KDH deeper.

But KDH isnt good defensively.



Rohl & KDH make no sense to me.

£42.5mil there he could have spent on a decent CM.

You're on form this morning Bud

We've got a battle of the Muti quoters on our hands..

 

[Swartzy]

I hear you but Barry has put in some shocking performances. So bad that you couldn't justify starting him the next game. If Moyes did play him more, then we'd all say he's ruining the lad's confidence. There's no easy answer to a young player that was brought in to start most games but clearly isn't ready yet.

He'll probably start up at Sunderland after a better cameo yesterday, but we can't honestly say that'll likely go well.

Barry looked alright yesterday,
Hope he is given a run.

Also I am getting players from the championship etc ... Barry to me looks like an enigma - Beto is Beto ..... a bustler who should have been sold ....

 

[windymiller]

That’s rather silly, isn’t it?

Yes, that's why it was my favourite.

 

[Joey66]

His hold up play is better than Beto's - that's not hard - I have know confidence of him in front of goal like Jigsaw he goes to bits... miskicks etc ...Needs a run with the under 23s to gain confidence & game time IMO ...

 

[windymiller]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and for me Moyes isn’t the long term issue at this club we have had one window to fix things it’s a work in progress. I can’t even be arsed arguing with the anti Moyes brigade truth is there entitled to there opinion to. It’s tiresome to the point of losing interest in even posting to the contrary.

Moyes certainly isn't the only issue but he is an issue. He plays the same 11 whenever they are available, doesn't change tactics when a game plan isn't working, only makes like for like substitutions and even then only late in the game, and was one of the much vaunted transfer committee that has left us without players in key positions. I'm sorry if you find that analysis "tiresome" but diversity of opinion is the whole point of a forum.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Pickford

JOB -- Tarks -- Keane -- Myko

It's more likely that Moyes would adopt tiki taki football than employ this lineup

I agree with everything you wrote except he did make a notable and rare change in the palace game , which made a significant impact yet he opted to resort to the same lineup he usually does except grealish only because he was ineligible to play against city. He doesn't even learn from when does the occasional correct and different thing

 

[Curtis]

We are so sluggish moving the ball , anytime we make attacks the other seem is able to pack the box and then we get frustrated sending errant crosses into a congested area
