In my opinion it comes close.

I guess we had a good result in the press conference and they are going to the next section of emergency criticism. I think it must be titled 'Players that most fans have forgotten that Moyes left out of the squad'.

Next up on the list, Pistone was dropped for a game against Charlton.

On the flip side of this argument though, he randomly brought on Van Der Meyde to set up Goslings goal in the derby replay. Now that was a stroke of genius

You’re not wrong…I’m still seething about the Italian Count being benched.

How long have you been supporting Everton?

If you were around in 2012 then you'll know it was a VERY common criticism made about Moyes after that SF that his own ego at being seen to be the boss denied us a genuine chance to beat them and get into a cup final.

Take a look....

Thread 'Not having Drenthe on the bench'

April 14, 2012

...could you ever, EVER have seen a manager like Royle or Kendall shooting themselves through both feet like that to include some washed up, broken down crock like McFadden?

He's dropped some bollocks in the past, but that has to be top of the pile. And he and his spin doctors can **** right off if they come out with some bullshit about 'family matters' re Drenthe.

It’s such a common criticism that you only included your own example from 2012.

Or, maybe, the result would have been the same.

That semi final was decided when Redknapp cup tied Pienaar in some meaningless game for Spurs just before he was loaned back to us. He was our best player at that time and made the whole team tick.

Distin passing to Suarez for no reason didn’t help either. If he just lashes that up the line we probably go to the final.

It’s all pretty irrelevant as that Chelsea team were mullering whoever got out the other semi, as they proved.

In a shocking revelation manager of a club for 12 years has a handful of really poor results and some questionable team selections. WTF was he thinking?!!!!!’

Can the manager of Everton please be perfect every single game or gtfo.

Exactly...

What might have been, eh?

And there is no way of knowing if we had got battered with him on the pitch because he was still off his face.

Remember the old adage-:
“Opinions are like bum holes,everyone’s got one”.

It’s just your opinion and it’s no more valid than others who think the opposite.

The issue here is that Moyes Mk1 made some shocking decisions at KEY moments that stopped any realistic chances of a breakthrough success.

That is sustained. And anyone who lived through all of his time here first time around knows that to be the case.

Should have had Dyche, we’d have won loads of trophies with him back then.

I remember him mostly for not knowing where, when or how to play Wayne Rooney keeping him on the bench for many games when Rooney was most probably the best player we have ever brought through the club in our history— I hope he doesn’t leave Alcaraz on the bench too much now with the limited talent skill wise this squad has got.

Rooney legs had gone by his late twenties. Imagine if Moyes had run him into the ground as a 16/17 year old as you seemed to want.

But are you forgetting that Moyes made the TV companies switch to the adverts so those of us watching on TV couldn’t enjoy it. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour by Moyes.

I live lived through his entire first spell ( by far the best time to be an Everton fan by the way in my lifetime) and I couldn’t disagree with you more. Hindsight is always 20:20. Best British manager of his generation.

We won f.a.

We played some ok football for about 10% of the time.

The only thing Moyes had going for him was he kept us relegation-proof.

That is all.

Total BS. We have been a complete disaster virtually everyone season he wasn’t in charge since the 90s. The only decent seasons without him were the Kanchelskis season and the Martinez season (and that one was 90% down to Moyes and 10% down to Chelsea giving us Lukaku). You really do enjoy making a fool of yourself.

If we go on and on about individual decisions that may have or may not have made a difference I would say that he made a lot more correct decisions than wrong decisions.

If we look at every single manager, at all levels of the game, you will see the same analysis, some will make more bad decisions than good and vice versa but there will always be a mix if both.

I lived through his era and had more good days than bad days.

Drenthe

This is like watching a train derail only to land on a different set of rails to derail from 100m up the track - rinse and repeat.
