2024/25 David Moyes

[davek]

lower win percentage than Benitez?

Came in here to an all but relegated club - kept us up twice.

That's the only statistic worth knowing.

 

[Terrarian]

No he didn't...unless he...

• told our fans they were a disgrace for opposing Kenwright
• told us all we were better handing over our players to him at United for the benefit of the players
• kept our greatest ever Evertonian out of the club training facilities

...none of which Dyche did or ever would think of doing, but Moyes DID do.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Ah yes, the man who idolises Margaret Thatcher. Truly a man of the people.

Wasn’t Margaret a woman?

 

[JLW]

Utterly bizarre statement.

Least number of goals
Longest run without winning
Worst Football this beautiful club has ever seen
Made fans hate going the game to watch his team


Yes he is the worst manager in our history.
Moyes has proved what he is in just 4 games, its laughable really, were talking about David Moyes not Pep Guardiola

Well I'll play along with you an the others then: Martinez got 72 points in a single season which make him our best PL era manager.

I wasnt sure on moyes coming back, but looking at it now, he was the right manager. He is still defensively minded enough to not break up the solid defence that was already in place, whilst tweaking what we had attacking wise.
Loving the comments he makes when 3-0 up "go and get another goal".

It says it all about people wanting to be entertained by the utter tat in this squad.

They've played better under Moyes, for sure. But let's have it right: the tripe we've beaten in the last few weeks is no test of how good they actually are....which iswhy we are ALL agreed we need players in this window.

I thought there is no manager out there that could do anything with these group of players so we need to stick with Dyche?

He is one of them yes.

Its league positions that matter more than points though.

We would have been safe under Dyche too...he proved we would be in the last two seasons and he had players to come back in the first team.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Dyche is a better man than Moyes.

What does this even mean, Dave?

Please tell me that you're not nursing a broken-heart, and you're currently listening to Pearl Jam's 'Better Man'?
Eddie Vedder's husking voice lamenting your whoa's:

'She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way
She needs him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better...man..'

Please, that would be too much, mate...

 

[Thomasc]

No ones more happy than me.

That doesn't mean I ever forget what Moyes did last time around.

You see, it;s possible to have those two emotions at the one time.

The embarrassment of a lot of our fans yesterday singing his name a decade after screaming at him what a ginger get he was and that he's "getting sacked in the morning".


Absolutely cringeworthy.

Benitez though eh

 

[Blueclouds]

So let's chat about tactics between the two. What key changes had Moyes implemented.

Dropped Young and Harrison which most of us wanted.

Defenders are passing more then launching the ball into nowhere lands.

Was Dyche a coward and played way to defensive? Did he lose the players

 

[derek duvall]

Moyes is a better manager. No question of that.

But Dyche cant be denied his spot in our recent terrible history. The man saved us and only the classless would denigrate him instead of just acknowledging that.

It's completely immature not to hand him credit. They know who they are on here.

Ready some utter BS in this forum over the last few months but this tops it. Congrats!

 

[Thomasc]

...and neither should I or anyone else either. One is football related with Dyche the other is a matter of morality and non-football related.

You?

Morality?

lol

He's using all his years and experience he's gained in management to help galvanise a squad who looked dead on its feet a month ago away to Bournemouth. They looked bereft of ideas, confidence, fight....looked completely shot where I don't think they knew where the next goal was coming from, nevermind where the next point was coming from.

He's got them together, he's got them fighting for each other he's got them trying to press in numbers, he's got the full backs trying to back up their team mates and playing much higher up the pitch which then in turn has the rest of the forward players pressing the opposition team. He's rejuvenated players who looked like they could offer nothing, he's brought players in out from the cold who have made an immediate impact.

It's superb management and he deserves massive credit because 3 wins out of 4, after just 3 wins all season is simply unbelievable.

It's so difficult to reset a players psychology once they're just accustomed to getting best every week, but that's exactly what he's done.

Now, can he keep it going for a tough couple of games coming up. A win against Bournemouth would be fantastic for us fans, just keeps the feel good factor going heading into a big game against the rs.

Give the fella some players though ffs, give him a player who can really lift the club, the fans, the players themselves. He needs backing (I'm not talking about a 50m player) with a couple of players to really help us kick on and offer some depth.
