2024/25 David Moyes

[JobForTheMoyes]

Moyes is brilliant. Seriously, we’re doing great here and we all know it. Get off the man’s ass. I’ll take him any day as our manager. There are very few I’d even consider instead of him.

He needs all of those 2.5 years or longer to build our foundation. He convincingly turned us around. We are definitely staying up. He will be involved in summer signings of his choice and influence and we’ll easily be top 10 or higher next season. In the season after that, we could be seeing Europe.

Slot tied us. Is he being replaced with a progressive manager? So easy to judge every single foot step and choice the players and managers make in a game that flies by.

Sir Alex Ferguson won 528 out of 810. Makes you think they would’ve been doing better had they binned him for someone young and progressive.

I’d be thinking Europe next season is a distinct possibility. He did it at West Ham and had us in the Champions League with a team of relative donkeys!

His only mistake was leaving Doucoure on too long.
The rest was spot on.

It suits your agenda against Moyes that we let slip a 2 goal leads, but if you insist on having it right then the truth is the team tired in the 2nd half.

They had fresher legs coming off the bench and our bench is limited, not Moyes fault just sadly where our squad depth is.

We where blood and thunder in the first half and they couldn’t cope, that’s how we’ve been playing for weeks now and it’s starting to show with player fatigue setting in.

Moyes is going nowhere in the summer, the fans don’t want it and I don’t think the owners will do that.

He stuck two pairs of fresh legs on AFTER they got back to 2-2!!!

Yes. Moyes is terrible. Everton sucks. All our decisions are bad. The new owners suck. Hate the kits. The boots. Thelwell is horrible. Bringing Moyes back was the wrong decision. If Moyes makes a decision, I’d have done the opposite. Any kick with the left should’ve been with the right. He’s too old. Too gray. Too Scottish. Speaks when he shouldn’t. Doesn’t when he should. I hate the team I love so much. Texans suck.

Wasn't 'spot on' was it? That implies Moyes's plan was to pull off an audacious 2-2 draw and succeeded at it.

 

[Efcjake]

Why are people still letting the kopite speak in here?

Ignore him. He’s not one of us. He’s just wasting time waiting for his game tomorrow.

Dropping points is disappointing but a point is still a point closer to mathematical safety.

I'm not blaming Moyes for anything today apart from maybe being a bit too late with the Charly and Tim subs.

We were great and up against a 12th man and the VAR squad. That and our decimated squad giving us very few options to change it did for us over 90 minutes.

 

[Cels]

Bringing knives to gunfights against United since 2002.

He was caught in the headlights and didn't act when he needed to.

2-0 but the game is getting difficult: get 2 on and 2 off.

See it out.

I can't argue too much with that assessment to be fair Dave; I thought the second half was poorly managed. In the first half, we played like we wanted to win the game, from the start of the second half we played like we were hoping to get something from the game.

Where’s your kopite man Benitez these days David? You not followed him on to his next club?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

What a job he's doing.

Shared my view when we appointed him that my opinion on Moyes is based on 20+ years, and not the run in to this season. I didn't think there'd anything he could do that would influence that.

I've gone from being disappointed of his appointment, because I knew TFG had someone lined up in the summer who was already in a job, and hoped of a better appointment in the summer to now being 50/50.

Maybe he's just *fits*.

The divvy stood rooted to the spot on the touchline in his minty Johnny Cash outfit and allowed the worst United team for 30 years to boss us off the park and almost win it.

It was a dire performance. He should be pilloried for it not praised for 'getting us 2-0 up, lad'

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

A poorly managed second half means you could be talking about any number of the thousands of managers in the world. Difference with Moyes is today was our first one. Dyche and plenty of others lived by the mantra of poor management.

or all his other bum boys mate

 

[Thomasc]

Experience counts for a lot.

He’s one of the most experienced managers in the game now so I’m not surprised he’s improved as he’s got more mature.

 

[Bebeto]

Putting pressure on here at match level is meaningless fine and reprimand and mind your manners "little Everton". Will be what Freidkin group can do behind the scenes "nerworking" with EPL and referee association etc. Will take time to build on those relationships and lean into them and have that "competitive advantage".

That will never happen, unfortunately.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Let's see if that's the case.

That, IMO, is yet to be determined.

Nobody is sacking a manager who has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and a loss from his first 7 games with a team that the previous manager had written off.

Don't be daft.
