David Moyes: Everton Manager & Tactical Discussion
David Moyes returned to Everton in January 2025, marking a second tenure for the man who famously coined
David Moyes, Everton manager, during a match at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
the term "The People's Club." After a trophy-winning spell at West Ham, Moyes was appointed by The Friedkin Group to provide stability during the club’s historic move to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

With over 500 games managed across his two spells, the Scotsman remains one of the most experienced figures in Premier League history. This hub serves as the primary destination for all David Moyes discussion, covering his tactical "pragmatic modernism," recent match results, and his long-term vision for the Blues' future.

Share your thoughts in the Everton Forum on his latest team selections and substitution windows on the Grand Old Team forums.

    Should Moyes be given more responsibility?

    For me the best moments in Moyes career were when he was in charge of all operations. This was also true of when he was best at West Ham. It seemed to go wrong there when a new DOF was appointed or so it could be interpreted. I feel concerned that we may or may not have people in charge of...

    Which managers have progressed us?

    Since Howard Kendall’s 2nd spell in charge, which managers or manager do you think have actually improved us from what they took over? When I say improved I mean by the end of their spell comps to when they joined us. I’d say there are 6 managers in the past 33ish years, so 6 of 15 permanent...

    Moyes and strikers

    Debate in the Barry thread, lead by @Joey66 and his advanced Dean Ashton scouting skills, made me wonder about Moyes record with strikers. I distinctly recall the debates about Moyes ruining strikers after form dropped off during his first spell (Yak, Jelavic, Johnson). I decided to see how...

    Put Forward Our Best Team?

    It’s been a long, bruising season. Knocks, bans, and chaos everywhere. So who makes your starting XI right now? And which game-changers would you keep ready on the bench?

    This or that - Moyes or Grealish

    Hypothetically, would you prefer to keep Grealish and let Moyes go, or keep Moyes knowing we can’t keep Grealish? @RomanReigns

    Moyes and Young players

    Seen lots of posts around game time for the younger players and our most recent transfer window, so thought there should be a thread discussing long term objectives under Moyes. For me I think the last window was pretty positive. Alcaraz, Rohl, Dibling, Barry, Aznou. All young talented...

    If we lose Sat. Should Moyes be sacked?

    With only 1 win since August and Everton currently in the bottom half of the table , with some very challenging matches ahead, do you think Moyes should be sacked if he is unable to win against a mediocre Fulham side at home? Obviously this poll does not decide his fate and to those who stand by...

    David Moyes or Roberto Mancini

    With recent reports that Mancini was considering the Notts Forest role, should we as a club maybe see if he would be interested in managing us. He is seasoned manager who has won multiple trophies as a player and manager in several different leagues and has even tasted success as an...

    The Moyes question

    As usual on GOT the manager thread has descended into a certain level of discord, albeit driven by groups of very vocal posters Arguably the Moyes out folk are more active (notable posters @davek @jceverton) with a notable pro-moyes vanguard taking defensive action (@JobForTheMoyes and...

    Moyes best XI

    If everyone gets fit again before the end of the season, what do you reckon Moyes best XI would be? I'll start Pickford O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko Garner Gana N'Diaye Alcaraz McNeil Broja Makes you realise we have had mostly attackers injured.

    Line up under Moyes.

    With the current squad what's Moyes starting line up v Villa? Will he go 4/2/3/1 or 3/5/2? Here's my guess..... Pickford O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite Patterson , Mangala, Gueye , Armstrong, Mykolenko ( or McNeil if fit ) DCL ( if fit Beto if not ) Ndayie. I'm sure if fit Garner plays...

    The Moyes Mind Virus

    The 'Moyes mind virus' is a debilitating affliction that insidiously creeps into the psyche, gradually lowering expectations and eroding the drive towards excellence. It manifests as an overwhelming sense of complacency, where ambition is quietly smothered under the weight of mediocrity. Those...

    More disappointing appointment- Moyes or Benitez

    @john jako, in another thread, has observed that in some quarters the Moyes re-appointment is taking more flak than when we hired the porcine one. Which one makes you feel less good about Everton FC?

    Which players will benefit most from Moyes’ coaching?

    Very curious to see which players my fellow Blues think will improve most under Moyes. Dyche seemingly had no ability to improve players, but we know from past experience that this is something Moyes is capable of. I’d be interested to know the 5 players you think will benefit most from his...
