2025/26 David Moyes

[Papa Shango]

We 100% will based on that. I’m not having excuses anymore. They should be coached properly and if he can’t be assed and just wants to whine about signings then fine but his job is to coach the team and that was pathetic.

We’re ’kin Everton, not Wolves or Burnley. I expect better than what I’ve seen from the management and recruitment departments. I’m sick of this small time crap. By the start of the season they should be ‘kin prepared and at least well drilled and they blatantly weren’t today.

You know we won't.

As you can see I am fuming with him tonight myself and am not accepting any excuses. But sacking him after one game would be utter madness. You know this.

No width and no fullbacks ! Think he planned to contain for 45 mins and then go at them but we never really got at them ! Without the pen it was a draw ! Would have took that ! Ref gave us nothing other than a foul by garner which he missed !

As inexperienced as Aznou is he has far more experience at LB than James Garner. And Garner is one of the few options we have who is fairly comfortable on the right as it becomes clearer every game that Jake O'Brien is no fullback.

Unless Aznou was injured I really don't see how he doesn't even make the bench.

Sort it out Davie.

Sort yourself out Davie!

 

[Saint Domingo]

The difference between the level we finished last season and what we put out tonight is astronomical. The players don’t even look fit. An absolute shambles of a pre season by Everton once again.

 

[Miked1e]

You make the best of what you've got. If we'd pushed up on them from the off we'd have won that game.

But we haven’t got anything…. We would never have won that game. We are 7 games in since the players have come back and had one win. It doesn’t look good

 

[MikeH72]

The fact of the matter is he very much is. Angus Kinnear and Nick Hammond are not the ones deciding which targets we are going after

Yes clearly Moyes has hand picked all of our signings himself. Definitely looks like it.

Yeah… you’re probably right. Honestly I’m just enraged by that.

However I will die on the hill that I expect them to be better coached than this and expect a hell of a lot better by the recruitment team.

Yeah we got robbed by a joke of a pen, but that performance was literally like watching a group of children whose teacher has lost them on a school trip

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

We need to see a reaction on Sunday. I'm sure Moyes won't be happy with that tonight.

 

[Papa Shango]

The squad is poor….

We have just been dominated by Leeds. That says it all

We were dominated by Leeds to do awful team selection and tactics and a seeming lack of the players knowing what they are supposed to be doing.

We didn't lose due to not having a player in a position. We had options in the attacking half, he didn't use them. The full backs were actually fine.

The squad (yet again) is massively unbalanced. But that is not why we lost tonight. Both things can be true.

Looked totally ill prepared even for a preseason game never mind a newly promoted Leeds ,we were slow and weak all over the park

 

[Stefc]

Yes to making changes earlier. Completely agree.

Not playing Beto we do not have any better options.

I would play a player out of position rather than Beto.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

And so he should

Sounds like a pretty crap excuse for neglecting your duties to me....

 

[Papa Shango]

Why have we spent £30m on a striker and signed Grealish to be subs?

I'm going to be very impatient with the Barry signing.

Not against the player himself, he is a useful player. If we have signed him and see him as a project and not ready to start games then everybody needs sacking.

100+ top flight games over multiple countries and scored goals for a team miles better than us. He is more than ready, he is not a kid who we need to wrap in cotton wool. Get him on the pitch.

What options other than Grealish?

 

[Vagner Love]

Got that so wrong from the off but more worrying was as obvious as it was he was too stubborn to change it
