There are lots and lots of times that Everton were expected to win under Moyes and we did and lots of time we were expected to lose and we did. Every game is a new battle. Budget teams tend to be inconsistent. Look at Spurs. They can wipe the floor with City one week and then lose to Bournemouth the next. It's not a unique issue to Moyes or Everton.Personally I disagree sometimes Moyes went to Chelsea, Arsenal or even Man United and we ended up getting something when nobody expected us to. Man City away in 2010 before Christmas comes to mind. Chelsea 2007 and Arsenal 2010 games come to mind. One thing about Moyes is that he came, give players kick up backside and we come out all guns blazing after a poor performance. Martinez didn't have that ability, we'd have decent runs, we'd go on losing streaks nothing inbetween. A good thing about Martinez is he'd go into every game with same mentality. Martinezs weakness was he'd go into every game with same mentality. We played better with 10 men at Old Trafford, because there was no expectation we would win. I'm convinced if Gana Gueye hadn't been sent off we wouldn't have won
I only saw the second half. Thought it was OK.Good away win poor game
How is any game nothing to do with the Manager?That's just not true. We lose game because teams with the sorts of players we have had don't win every game. It's nothing to do you with Moyes. That's all a childish myth.
Even Grealish was getting slagged off before his goal. It's just the way of GOT.Kdh is often our best player. Never understood the criticism in his thread
He's the sixth highest paid manager because since he rejoined only Arsenal have a better away record in the league. You all expect the impossible. We had a best in the class manager in Carlo who was given a budget and we had all of the same issues you blame on Moyes. Maybe you're frustrated because you don't understand football?How is any game nothing to do with the Manager?
If it’s nothing to do with him why is he the sixth highest paid manager around?
He’s equally as praiseworthy as he is frustrating.
The problem is - who plays centre midfield?Great away win at this house of horrors - I’d keep this back line until we get JB back. KDH was quality and Jack needs to shoot more! Up to 9th for now UTFT
True. Moaners paradiseEven Grealish was getting slagged off before his goal. It's just the way of GOT.
Was a decent performance makes the Newcastle match even more annoying. League is wide openDeserved win for us, we took the game to them a nd nullified their attack.
3 points off 4th at the moment, not bad going.
Lots of room for improvement though.
Imagine if Moyes hadn't 'ished the bed all season we'd be on 42 points mow. That is the way football works, isn't it?Imagine Moyes hadn't 'ished the bed on Saturday - we'd be up amongst the top 4 following three great results.
