2025/26 David Moyes

I despair that Evertonians want more of Moyes in the future. Everyone is entitled to their view, but he's turning the new stadium into a crypt with his dreadful football. Last season he had his bounce, and well done for steadying the ship but he simply cannot be the future of management and coaching at this club for much longer.
Stop showing ambition and being ungrateful to the Moyesiah. Stay in your lane. Drudgery is all we deserve. Sweet, stable drudgery overseen by the Moyesosaurus Kex.
 
I think it is more of a priority for Moyes to work things out rather than Dibling. Blaming young lads instead of yourself (as Boss) the true mark of an inept coward. Piss of you do not know how to motivate talent.
What he said on signing :

'On getting an opportunity to work under Moyes, the teenager added: "I think the manager is perfect for me. Obviously he's helped so many players before who were in my position. I've spoken to him and I know he's going to be good for me.'

How to be delusioned quickly.
 
Moyes pragmatism is overwhelming. I can just imagine him in the dressing room before we go out onto the pitch at home in the cup against Northampton Town. "be careful lads. Don't be too adventurous, keep it tight, these are a difficult team to play against". When he should be saying. "go out and smash these, they're rubbish. Stick 4 or 5 past them, give the fans something to enjoy".
 
Said before Dec that the festive period would separate the men from the boys and break up the league.

Score cards are in the squad buckled under the weight of it all, it’s not strong enough, fatiuqe, suspension, injury AFCON - it’s failed.

Whose fault is that? We knew the AFCON was coming for years ago- no excuse. Injuries, you can’t legislate for - but of mitigation. Suspensions - ill discipline, you have to manage that.

A mixture of bad luck, bad planning and bad management over this period. It’s been dissapointing.

However Moyes has now posted 38 games in a calendar year and returned. 59 points, that represents progress on the previous year. Personally also feel the squad was coming from a very low base of quality after years of under investment, I think that’s been telling and impactful still when number have been stretched.

Instantly the last two results have disappointing, but overall year on year we have gotten stronger - if we continue that progress another year, I’m on board.

Still a Moyes fan boy.
But you’re happy to sacrifice style to get to this mid 50’s points tally and probably 11th in the league.
With really poor dour football,
The home form is shocking and I’m not sure he can sustain the away form
 
The last two results have been very frustrating.

What I question more is why arent we finding the likes of Thiago etc? It will ridiculous if we dont do something this window - I think some teams actually will. The roulette wheel is about to spin...

Short term - Moyes aim is to make us credible again - with a full compliment of players, we will be better.

Hopefully, things will pick up soon.
He’d only have scored 5/6 under Moyes

tbf seems par for the course. only got so much game time at a southampton side being relegated 'cos they had nothing else. no pressure situation there.
 
He’s not helping himself. Personally I’m totally fed up of safety first, boring football now and hope we finally join the 21st century in the summer. When we’re desperately trying to eke out every point to stay up I can deal with trying to nick 1-0 wins but at home to bottom of the league when you’re safe in midtable you can’t just be sitting there hoping your starting 11 manages to cling on by their finger nails. No wonder there are so many empty seats when we serve up this rubbish.

Depends what you mean by style, I’m old enough to remember people wanting to bin Moyes style for expansive Martinez, then hounding him out for something more pragmatic in short order. Is the style now better or worse then 12 months ago….

If you ask most Blues what team played the best ball in recent history, it’s a Moyes team containing, Arteta, Pienaar, Lescott, Baines, Cahill etc.

People talk about style, but it’s rubbish, ultimately what people want is winning football, once you are doing that no one cares about style - that’s Sky Sports half time pundit rubbish.
 


Daily Star


Dibling, 19, was replaced during Sunday’s 4-2 defeat as Moyes ripped up his game plan after a torrid first half.

It was the second time in just four Premier League starts that Dibling (above) was taken off at the break.

Moyes said: “When he’s come on to the field we are looking for a bit more.

“Tyler needs to keep improving, doing what he’s doing better and we’ll see where he goes.”

Dibling is likely to start tonight against Wolves, given Iliman Ndiaye remains at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, while Kiernan DewsburyHall and Carlos Alcaraz remain injured.

But Moyes said: “In the main I will [speak to players about an early withdrawal] but I didn’t do this time, because I’ve done it a couple of times and I want him to start realising he’s not going to get an explanation for every time.

“He’s going to have to work it out for himself sometimes.”

Wolves boss Rob Edwards has seen a “bounce” around the club after they finally celebrated their first win of the season.

Wolves ended a recordworst start with Saturday’s 3-0 win against West Ham, which came days after a 1-1 draw at Manchester United.

While relegation still looks nailed on, Edwards is enjoying the mood lift.

“What we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks is more belief,” he said.

“There’s been more of a bounce around because people can see a little bit more progression.”

EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Armstrong; Dibling, Rohl, Grealish; Beto.

WOLVES (3-4-2): Sa; S Bueno, Mosquera, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Arias, J Gomes, Mane, H Bueno; Arokodare, Larsen.

REFEREE: Tom Kirk.
What dies Dibling 'work out for himself' watching Mcneil stink the place out tonight but stay on the pitch?
And does Mcneil 'work out for himself' that he played well based on same?
