2025/26 David Moyes

[matty1878]

He’s never changing. It’s Only changing with a new manager and new thinking from the people in the background

again YOU DONT KNOW THIS

 

[matty1878]

By the time we play Bournemouth it will be over two months since we won a home game. Let's stop pretending that it's entitled or in any way weird for fans of any club to get a bit narky when they haven't won any of their last 5 home games.

it’s anoyyin and bafflin

but moyes has to address it

I
Mean what does Irvine actually do ??? Moyes bringing his mate back

When Moyes and Irvine were last here, I met Irvine at an after dinner thing. He's a really sound bloke, he told us that at that time Moyes liked wide midfielders like Freddie Ljungberg, who would tuck in and have overlapping full backs. He said that Moyes coached the set up and defensive aspect of the team and Irvine coached the attacking aspect based on the style Moyes preferred. I'd say given he's playing left footed wide players with little to no pace on the right, he's trying to adopt a similar structure as he used to favour, but he doesn't have the full backs to do so. So I think it would probably be fair to assume that Irvine is once again coaching the attacking play based on Moyes' style.

My issue with that style would be that football has moved on, and it neglects pace and movement, and Moyes' teams never really have pace, but all the top sides now have pace, as the game is getting quicker every year.

Or Branthwaite left back

Moyes dream back 4 is on. O’Brian Keane Tarkowski Branthwaite. Happy days

Moyes never won anything with it at Everton either.

He hasn’t made much progress on sorting it out though & we are over halfway through the season. The first half last night was as bad as anything he has served up.

again YOU DONT KNOW THIS

I know he’s never changing and he hasnt got his comfort blanket, bullshit Billy holding his hand this time

 

[Eggs]

Why don’t you cheer me up more, Eggs

…ha, ha. Regardless of the RB situation, Moyes has a big decision to make soon because he’ll have 4 fit CBs.

What if he can’t though Matty? I didn't want him back, but he has a done a good job since his return in getting us away from fearing relegation (which I don’t now fear, so well done Moysey), but I hate his football at HDS, it is dull, slow predictable and soul destroying.

Would anyone be surprised? Honestly?

He trusts his players but time and time again he has been let down at home this season. He got the tactics wrong from the start because he trusted the players with the formation he sent out. That aside the midfield was 2nd best to everything that 1st half...totally unacceptable at home.

The other glaring weakness is opposition team players dropping off and playing between the lines. None of our players seem to know what to do and when to react to it and it keeps happening at home.

 

[Swartzy]

Stop defending the dinosaur.


He schooled Moyes so much that he had to mirror Farke's set up...then Farke outsmarted him again when Everton were looking for the winner by changing shape to see out the game for a draw.

Stop defending the dinosaur.

How was that a defensive post.

It was just showing how predictable you are.

Your opinions of Moyes predictably

Pot/kettle

So, when the next home win coming? March or next season?
