Everybody could have name you the starting 11 today and the tactics...never changes never tried anything new unless there are injuries. To be honest, nothing much more he could do really. The gap of quality between the 2 teams is just too big...but at least give somebody new a go, dibling or aznou..

Yup, he is less effective the more options he has.
I woudn't give him a bob to spend in January - especially if I was replacing him in the summer.

Had to laugh at Moyes exasperation when O'Brien got in the box and promptly stuck the cross in the crowd,what do you expect when you don't sign a right back and and up playing a 6 foot 5 centre back there,prime Cafu/Hibbert?

Might take a massive banner to the next home game saying ‘play Alcaraz not Gana’ as he doesn’t seem to be getting the message.

Just don't understand why he would go back to this 11, Garner right back and O'Brien centre back is the way forward until we sign a proper right back.
Alcaraz also didn't deserve to be dropped.

I'm watching this game just drift aimlessly away from us,I honestly think he's happy getting out of here with a 2-0 defeat, that's the nub of my beef with him,he got this wrong from the start with his negative mindset,even now no plan B to at least try and change things,I'd have hooked the ineffective Gana at half time,Beto on see if the two together may cause some problems,that's one thought there's loads he could do,stick Grealish central,bring Dibling on,loads of tactical switches but no,stands there hands in pockets
Wish he just try something as we are drifting to a defeat

There are two big problems I have with Moyes.
1. The CB dilemma. There is a charity case at CB. Don't get me wrong- Tarks and Keane have been good this season. O'Brien is the best CB available and he is playing RB. Garner is our best RB and despite having Tim and Charly available which would allow him to shift Garner to RB, we keep O'brien there. Drop the sentimentality and set up the team for the long term and the best to WIN (not just grind out results) games.
2. KDH at the 10 (harsh as he only played shortly to start before injury but he was invisible to start the game). If you have to have him there, Garner has to be RB. You need another creator which O'Brien is not.
Wins are more important. Moyes is trying to play it too safe. That will kill us down the line.

Why we ever changed our starting XI that has been clearly so successful was the first mistake. Reverting to the Barry/Beto tired approach did nothing either.

Freeking bottled it again Moyes.
Why take out Alcaraz?
Wasting momentum again like he did in the League cup.
Can’t wait for him to go

I'm assuming Moyes is taking a long view. It's only 2-0. We've had chances. Leave things as they are today. Big games coming up.
Alcaraz came on at 0.0 after 15 minutes . We lost 2 nil
What would have changed ?

One day an Everton manager will twig on that you can’t win many games with Keane and Gueye in your team. Don’t know how many years this lesson needs to be learned, how many managers will lose their jobs over it, but it was true in 2017 and it’s true in 2025.
