2025/26 David Moyes

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Your idea of some sort of long term development plan that involves them never playing for us whilst McNeil (who wanted to leave) and Gueye stink the gaffe out is an interesting one.

Just got to come back to this mess of a sentence. Yes, the long term plan involves them playing. That will be the long term bit, not the current situation. If in 12 months time they're both starting every match and the younger players we bought in aren't getting any more minutes, vault away, but this is my hope for the club.

Coming from you. Absolutely laughable.

Can you find your head and please show me where I lack patience.

Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why Moyes is playing 10 of Dyche’s players rather than his 100 million of signings

We went into that window with our head up our backsides thinking we had a bigger appeal than we did, When it came to having a plan b or plan c we weren't prepared so it played out more of a rushed squad fill.

Moyes wanted experience, The club pushed for youth..

Some of those lads have got the potential to be good signings, but it wasn't a good window for instant returns..

Find it hard to blame the manager much for that.

The first half an hour was the best we have played in a derby since 13/14. Totally dominant, totally fearless, aggressive and dangerous. The only time the “mentality” could be questioned was the 15 minutes after the non-goal and their goal. Heads dropped before half-time, understandably so, and it became timid.

Then after HT, he got them back into a position where they were good enough to equalise and looked the most likely side to find a winner. Then the best striker on the pitch got injured. Then the best defender on the pitch got injured. Losing Beto ended our chances of winning, especially when George came on and was just as bad as Barry. But some wanted George to start, and Moyes bringing him on for McNeil at that point was a logical move.

The second half had no momentum at all due to the stoppages and Liverpool’s time wasting, which the referee allowed and at times encouraged. They were happy for a point. They were not bashing down the door as we ran off frightened. We lost too much quality on the pitch to threaten, but even still would have been let down by a 1-1 result. Then they spawned a winner from a corner, because that’s what they do.

I think the reason this derby stings most is because it wasn’t like the other ones when we didn’t turn up or allowed ourselves to be run over. We were horribly unlucky in almost every aspect of the game and played well for most of it. The issue is the squad lacks depth and Liverpool still have a few decades left on their contract with the devil.

Yeah, no, it's the fn derby. If their heads drop and they basically decide to sulk for the next 20 minutes, that's kinda on the manager, no? He picks the team, he picks the players who he thinks will best implement his plan during the match. If they disappear after a single fn goal against, that's an APPALLING mentality. Sunderland came back 3 times today and lost at the death. Did their heads drop because "oh, golly, someone scored against us, let's not do anything for 1/4 of the match"?

There's no way Dibling was signed to sit on the bench this season. I think he was signed for the here and now but for whatever reason he hasn't adapted. Getting him up to speed for the start of next season is a must for whoever is in charge. Painful amount of money to waste if we don't.

40 million.

These players are no better now than they were in August, some of them have gone backwards.

I hope that whatever magical development moment you have in mind over the summer actually happens but I can’t see how it would be more beneficial than playing minutes now.

I’ve watched this team not win anything for over 30 years, so get off your self righteous pretentious high horse and stop lecturing Everton fans on patience

 

[Neiler]

I’d be selling Barry and Aznou (who I just don’t think has a future under Moyes).

I’d keep Alcaraz but wouldn’t be amazed if he moved on.

I think if Moyes signs a new contract he’s going to look for more control over recruitment - I think he pushed for the likes of KDH, Grealish and Travers - I think we will see more of these types rather then the “committee” types like Barry and Aznou.

He’s going to point to KDH and Grealish and say….look what they brought…trust me with more and we’l push on.

You're not the only one, and you don't win a pot against Liverpool in a league match, but carry on trying to swing that phallus around like you're the only one in that situation.

Still waiting for that example of me lacking patience. You seem confused with your postings.

Its ok we’ve had an incredible season as we arent in relegation trouble so we keep hearing from the media

To a degree, yes I agree. I was disappointed at how much the levels dipped between the goal and HT. I think that reflects the on-field leadership as much as it does the manager but I take your point.

But it wasn’t terminal, and it was turned around. Things were remedied for the second half and for most of it we looked a good bet to come from behind and win. I’ll sign up for as much Moyes criticism as you like in regards to his handling of our young players and the overall squad, but I find it hard to hang him for this result, when almost everything that went against us was out of his control.

Did you watch the Sunderland game?

100 million isn’t much these days as crazy as it sounds. Some clubs spend around that on a single player.

Yeah he was starting up front for the RS

Yep

says the person who thinks we’re developing players by never playing them.

You've never played professional sport and it shows.

Still waiting by the way.

Seen that MOTM interview. Basically wryly smiling and saying we didn't deserve that.

Just another derby loss to him. He doesn't even see this terrible record he has as a problem. And none of his army of media flutters ever bring it up so he's not arsed and never will be. Where on earth is his pride?

The worst derby manager of all time....by a mile.

Joe Royle got f.a. off Hamperman - his derby record:

Won 3
Drew 4
