2025/26 David Moyes

[Bluepablo]

How many goals scored? How many hoof balls served? How many short passes made? These stats are meaningless…

The acid test, How many & the quality of trophies in his career.

Is this the acid test to judge all managers? Because if so then there’s probably about 7 good managers currently working in world football.

I mean I’m not his biggest fan but he’s definitely over achieving this year and definitely what we need right now, gamble in 2 seasons when he’s laid solid foundations like he did in his last tenure, which Martinez managed to ruin in 18 months

Not the same thing tho really is it once again as soon as we’re halfway up the table folk start demanding Europe and sexy football people have too much time on their hands and want to be clever experts.

Tail wagging the dog these days!!1!

I think you'll find most posters views havent changed since well before the season began.

Correct. There aren’t many elite managers.

Correct. There aren’t many elite managers.

True. There aren't any elite posters as well. Everyone is riffraff.

That can be argued against as well. Is Martinez a good manager, better than Moyes? He won an fa cup with Wigan. Got them relegated at the same time though.

They are both good managers with clear flaws I would say

I hope we reach a day where we get better than them

I also acknowledge Moyes is doing a very good job of reaching to get us to a good level to attract such a manager at some point

Fair point & some managers don’t fit clubs. Mourhino is/was a winner but not sure I would like him as manager.

Classic Everton defending again, not even goal side. Good recall Moyes

That’s on Tarkowski awful pass

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Yeah I wouldn't want Myko to be my only outlet either. Everything is running dangerously left and one dimensional without a right back. We learned last week that Dibbles did far better with a partner on the right than without. Might want to recreate that in the 2nd half wink wink

It was both of them. Tarkowski creates the problem and takes larger share of the blame but its really poor from Keane to not challenge at all.

Awful pass yes, striker sitting between two "defenders", now where we seen that before.
