2025/26 David Moyes

[DavenBlue]

We were not perennial derby bottlers until Moyes got his hands on us first time. Yes, out record was not great in them compared to theirs. But we were not bottlers. Moyes has created this problem that has been endemic in the club for over 20 years now.

Not saying he should go, amd overall he has done well. But he is, and always has been a bottler.

He plays 4-5-1 home or away. Never changes. He concedes possession and tries to pinch a win. Playing like that he'll win games you don't expect us to win and lose games we expect to win. Overall we'll end up somewhere mid-table. Personally I don't think thats good enough for Everton Football Club but I appreciate that some fans are happy with that as they have never experienced what we could/should be.

Quite incredible that, despite the overwhelming evidence of nearly 13 years in charge of Everton, some people are still surprised by how David Moyes performs against Liverpool.

He seems to be a far suprior coach whose players are sold from under him.

Someone like that could coach a team if the club was wealthy enough and in a position to hold onto players.

Rayan & Jimenez both 20 i think, thats his right flank.

Kroupi and that Serbian 18 year old centre back.

He can coach and build something.

He’s going back to the team he played for and supports.

But what about Everton itself?

"Let Moyes get a few players in over the summer"

Like Rohl, Aznou, Alcaraz, Barry & Dibling who for different reasons are disasters under this manager.

We know he'll sign 30 year old Grealish and will want another with a KDH profile e.g Delap.

its frightening as we see no progression.

The problem is that none of those players you mention are actually any good. Our only good signings last summer were Grealish until his injury, and Dewsbury-Hall who has been excellent

It's very clear at this point we didn't get the players the manager really wanted and we had to make do with players way down the list. Our recruitment last summer was as bad as any of the previous windows.

Time really is a flat circle

Won silverware and played in Europe...not advocating for him AT ALL but why is that laughable but keeping "steady Davey" isnt??

I don’t think it is laughable.

He’s not gonna be at Newcastle next year, and I think he’d jump at the chance to manage you.

Obviously comes down to if you get rid of Davey.

Alcaraz should have been in at half time like he was v Palace. He’s made for a derby. Instead geriatric Idrissa Gueye is getting 101 minutes.

Lo and behold our midfield is too tired to close down Szoboslai for the shot that leads to the corner.

Alcaraz has only just come back after injury

I think the minute Barry came on we completely stopped looking like scoring. I don't think he really believes if one team was going to score it would be us.

So don't leave the guy who was in charge of transfers, Moyes running the club. Keep hearing Moyes will make steady progress but reality is if you throw £100m up the wall every summer you will soon start going backwards.

For me bottling it is when you're up against a team that you should beat that aren't as good as you. They're always above us in the league - even this season. Rather than bottling, can't we just accept they are better?

That'd have some credibility if they hadn't been beaten by Palace, Brentford, Forest, B'mouth. Wolves and Brighton.

The way Liverpool approach a game against us is very different to how they approach it against those other teams.
