2025/26 David Moyes

[Bluepablo]

These just got overrun by Leeds & we just meekly bend over.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Sorry David, if you’re going to wait until it’s too late to make subs, you need to get your starting line up right 100 times out of 100.

IMO you didn’t do that today.

It was winnable. I don't blame Moyes for the goals as we should have dealt with them. I blame him for the tone he set for the game and once KDH got injured it all unraveled.

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.

Moyes likes his cbs at full backs...obrien was very poor today. Defensively probably one of his worst games with us...in the attack found himself at times in great positions but very poor with the delivery (except one that ndiaye couldn't connect with). We need a rb, and if there isn't one by January 1st, then for me the recruitment team has failed.

Gotta give it to groucho though, his 2 paragraph response to Rita last night had me in tears..

Where's this?

Alcaraz came on at 0.0 after 15 minutes . We lost 2 nil
What would have changed ?

KDH would have been playing deeper and may not of been injured as he was.

His mindset is so defeatist. That said, I’m sure he’d respond by pointing out since he came back we’ve won more away games that any other team in the league, which is incredible. So frustrating though.

Definitely need a RB in January. Zero excuses for Dan and David on that. They chose not to prioritize it.

His hamstring wouldn't have gone if he was 15 yards deeper
Sweet jesus what a take.

I mean, that's not fair at all. We've played well in patches of that game and hard to understand how we haven't scored

That's what makes the mindset so infuriating. He's a very competent manager. But he limits himself. Inferior managers win cups by taking the odd risk. Moyes? Will always second-guess himself "at the real big clubs."

 

[dannyboy]

Big lack of goals in this team so whenever we concede it's a big ask. With the absences over the next few weeks we could have quite a few tricky games coming up. Time for the back up players to step up and seize the chance.

Yeah that was unfortunate really. I do think we need to be more than KDH or bust though. He should not be at the 10 when he brings so much deeper.

 

[BlueStevie35]

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.

Get both of them out the door.

Keane’s been one of our best players this season, better than Tarks at times and Gueye is still one of our best ball winners even on an off day

In a normal job, people have been sacked for less. If there is no rb in January, then they are not doing their job and if there is a degree of accountability then they should be replaced.
