2025/26 David Moyes

[davek]

He's the Cliff Barnes of Everton managers.

O brien right backs gotta be stopped now ffs,and what’s happening to rohl he was superb against villa haven’t seen him since ganas struggling

 

[Drico]

Hey everyone, what did you get for the post match presser bingo?
I’ve got:

‘It’s not easy to play here just now’
‘They’re on a good run’
‘On another night we’d come in a 2 or 3 nil up’
‘We were unlucky’
‘Once we went down to 10 it was always going to be an uphill struggle’

Flipside of Fulham at the weekend.

We're mediocre. Win some, lose some. Europe? Not a chance.

Started tonight in 8th, ended it in 8th. We haven’t lost any ground

We might have once every has played the same number of games.

Genuinely though what must Dibling, Alcaraz Rohl and Aznou be thinking when in plenty of games this season were chasing a game and need a goal and Moyes opts for players out of position and Keane up top instead of them, he is guilty of doing what dyche did, shoehorning in his mates because they "run harder" in training. I like Moyes but think he's guilty of playing favourites and deserves alot of criticism on his treatment of new signings and in game management

Aznou is the only one that hasnt really got an opportunity...the rest have been disappointing for the most part despite having had few opportunities.

 

[davek]

Nice two weeks off to lick our wounds and come out fighting against United.

...or stew in a pot of piss of our own making.

 

[Nymzee]

That's right, because losing games with other teams yet to play is a good thing.

Are you predicting all the other results, Nostradamus?

Moyes hasn't a clue what to do at home. His statement before the game that the new stadium is no different than at Goodison was pathetic. Basing his analysis on the same games as last season - 16 points from the same games but we still have to play Manu, lfc, city and Chelsea at home. Where Moyes does the same thing and expects a different result.
It becomes clear that Moyes should only buy workhorses and not players who can turn and dribble- Alcaraz and Dibling spring to mind as well as Ireogbuman and Aznou.
We'll be lucky to get 10 more points from the remaining fixtures this season. The season is fizzling out as a great disappointment after so much hope. Moyes has spent money but doesn't know how to set up a team to attack at home. His 4-2-3-1 has shown to be wanting, but he refuses to change it. His containment mentality at home, will be his undoing as teams find it so easy to pass, and move, through us. Moyes may get one more season the win something or get us into Europe which would be an achievement in itself for Moyes.

Don't think it's a containment strategy at home. If anything we probably need more of a focus on containment because we're not going to beat teams with great attacking football due to the two duds we've got at full back.

Probably help us playing against better teams in the remaining games as we'll adopt the tactics that have served us well away from home.

 

[kenada_blue]

Indeed.

Play form over names too.

Too many times has someone had their best game for us, like Alcaraz or Rohl an then legged out the team.

He has zero faith in half of his bench

 

[davek]

Are you predicting all the other results, Nostradamus?

I can tell you with some certainty that losing home game after home game is not European form.

Take that to the bank.

A well-rested Everton is several times worse than an injury-ravaged one.

 

[tantavisiteler]

I just don't hope he puts now Branthwaite as right back and Keane as center back

 

[MikeH72]

It’s not great that our next two games are Manchester United at home and Newcastle away imo.

 

[steve]

Got tough 12 matches left to keep his job though

 

[kenada_blue]

still dont understand him trying harrison on the wings or as a 10

The lads a good footballer and clearly prem ready.

But an attacking midfielder/player he is not.
