2024/25 David Moyes

[diggerdestroyer]

Hope he has learned the lesson about Young and Keane.

Young did ok. Keane is a natural disaster and the last person one should bring on when you don't want mistakes. He is a disaster

 

[irishtony1878]

Can't help but think McNeill, Tim Iroggy and Jimmy Garner with a couple of decent signings will see us improve and give us a bit more depth on the bench.

 

[Naylor56]

Least we are playing some half decent football now. Now you can see how dyche’s tactics were our downfall. I know we haven’t got the best team but I don’t think with the tactics given by dyche they had a chance to play football

 

[PeregrineT]

Mate, he nearly threw the game buying having 6 defenders on the pitch when spurs had two crap cbs and were there for a battering - it’s like he’s never been away

Literally a week. Absolutely weird.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Saha off, Heitinga on

The keane one stunk of Shane Duffy at Oldham

 

[PeregrineT]

Tbf. mate, if it was a new manager - fine. But it is our old manager doing his usual!

But, hey, great win!

He HAS been away a decade, so I dont think the players are the same ones he knows.

The strangest thing was last season front foot high tempo football got us results, then Dyche dragged everyone back a few yards this season. He should be massively upset with himself for this season.

 

[DanB90]

He really does know how to use Goodison to good effect, doesn’t he?

 

[Matelot]

The only thing that mattered today were the 3pts.

These players have previous for collapsing this season against Bournemouth and Villa. A few more wins to get us safely to the summer, and then the rebuilding truly begins.

You would never have Moyes down as a master tactician in the profile a Pep/Simeone type but my god did he show up Sean Dyche's limitations today with exactly the same group of players. It wasn't just the goals, it was the general play, passing from the back through the pitch, movement of players, making chances, we could have scored more. It was like watching a different team.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Literally a week. Absolutely weird.

Literally twenty years and weird he is STILL doing it

3-0 up, coasting and he does the old 6 defenders move- I literally saw it coming and told my son it would.

There was no need for 6 defenders when 3 up at home

 

[kenada_blue]

Can't blame him for that collapse.

Sod all on that bench, players could have seen it off/we ran out of steam.

Dunno. Dom's legs had gone and he had Beto.

Armstrong could've come in to help the midfield.

Great performance for 70mins though

 

[Bedfordblue]

Did he bottle it I t he last 20 mins there with Spurs with his attackers for defenders subs, or were Lindstrom and Ndaiye both goosed and needed fresh legs on instead….

The age old Moyes equation.

 

[Delargeinho]

Feels good not being last at xG anymore.

We went into the game looking to win it, not just trying to limit the opposition. That won us the game.

More of that please David.
