That 78 team was a Peter Shilton away from challenging for the title in my opinion. Because of the way the team tailed off under Lee, I think his previous work is vastly underrated. Koff Moyles.

Yakubu would be in that Moyes team ahead of Andy Johnson.

It happens.
We also lost 2-3 at home to Sheffield Utd that season, after being 2 up at half time. I think them and Carlisle were both relegated that season. How Everton that is that.

Dave Thomas vs Seamus!!! I love Seamus but blimey!!!!!
Does it? Tell me the last team to have its 3 best players missing for their biggest game in 30 years.
No contest that. One of the great things about Thomas was how he could clip a cross in with hardly any backlift. Latchford must have got a hard on when Davey was on his game.

Great question mate. On balance of those two teams I would narrowly give it to the Moyes team actually.
Lee’s team were genuine contenders for a while in an era when you could put together a team which might flourish quickly. Moyes’ era was tricky because of the challenge of breaking the Sky darlings cartel. But cherry-picking the way you have is intriguing. I think I might look at this again tomorrow and change my mind!!

Your right mate. The Sheff Utd game was the final home game of the season. We where all arranging to go to Chelsea at half time which was the final game where we could have won it. The new messiah, David Smallman scored twice I think, one was an absolute worldy. Carlisle went down, can't remember about Sheff Utd though.

Yakubu: 4 goals all season.
The season before was his only good one.
Saha and Cahill were our biggest goal threats, and they both played.

If we’d had Jagielka Arteta and Yakubu and Chelsea were without Terry Lampard and Drogba it might have turned out differently.

Yeah, because Jagielka was Terry's equal and Yakubu was Drogba's equal.

Soz to Sheff Utd who actually finished 6th, just one point behind us. Chelsea and Luton went down with Carlisle.

not saying that, just saying a full strength Chelsea against a depleted Everton is a very different game to a full strength Everton vs a depleted Chelsea, perhaps the outcome may have been different considering both their goals were scored by players they wouldn’t have available.
