I'm not sure I agree with the football dinosaur quotes. Yes the old hairdryer treatment, hypothetically, shouldn't work with a bunch of multi gazillionaires who are more focused on what their hair looks like. However, football as a game just goes in cycles. Formations will revert back at some point to 4-4-2. Makelele came along and the box to box went out the window and in came the DM and AM. Then Pep came along and it's all possession, tika taka, etc. Then we had the one up front and the false nine happening. We saw on Saturday that 4-4-2 still works and is a weapon. Napoli beat Liverpool playing it, Leicester won the league playing it and this idea of passing it all out from the back will evolve back to a mixture.
I'm not sure what this has to do with Moyes but I just don't agree that his ideas of how to defend and set a team up are out of date. I do however feel that when he came to Everton, he was a young, energetic, ambitious individual who was very demanding of his players in order to meet his own ambitions. I'm not so sure that 20 years later, a hell of a lot richer and after many failed stints, he has the same hunger which once made people work for him. Everyone has their time and this is not his now. We need someone hungry and ambitious. You could see how much the players responded to Ferguson at the weekend. That is because they could see his hunger and desire to win the game. I'm not sure you get that from someone who a reputation such as Moyes.
If he were to come in though, I don't see what the point in Marcel Brands is....The only thing I would say Moyes can be good at is identifying players (from his time at Everton) bilyaletdinov and per koldrup shouts I hear you but he did unearth some gems and legends of the club for next to nothing. Maybe he can come in and do Brands job haha
