2025/26 David Moyes

[blueblood]

At what point does his position start to come under real threat? If we get knocked out tomorrow? If we finish bottom half at the end of the season?
I get there was a rebuilding job to do when he came in, but if we want to keep the likes of Ndiaye and Branthwaite, we need to be showing them we’re on an upward trajectory, not accepting mediocrity, failing to address glaring weaknesses and regularly setting up to play negative football.

I think he has gone in the summer unless we have an unbelievable 2nd half of the season.

Even if he got us in a poxy European conference league position i would still replace him.

It doesn’t have to take forever but we’re also not going to wake up tomorrow ready to win trophies. Just one year where the goal is not about points but improvement and by year two we really could be good enough to do something.

That isn't really the point I was making. The post was in the context of people effectively saying 'well it's better than the last couple of years what more do you want' you plebs' as if it's outrageous for people to actually want to be entertained and enjoy going to matches. I don't ever expect to see Everton win the league in my lifetime, I made my peace with that a long time ago, but seeing people say the club needs a period of stability and we all need to just accept it is frustrating because that's not what being a football fan is supposed to be about. We're supposed to want them to win and be frustrated when they don't, that's normal behaviour. I go to games hoping to enjoy them in the moment, not to endure them with a view to possibly enjoying them at some point in the future.

Did he not only sign on a fairly short contract?? Or is that wishful thinking

 

[ToffeeTim]

He needs to come out today in the press and call out the dire standards of officiating in this league

It's not a level playing field

The standard of refereeing is not good enough

The use of VAR is embarrassing

The inconsistencies in decision making are a complete joke

We've not played well recently but we've got no decisions all year.

But then everyone in the ground saw their goal coming...

Good comments by Moyes

"the first sending off changed everything"

Not for me that - that happened in the 83rd minute.

I would love to win the poxy european trophy, and moyes knows how to win it.

The look on his face when the journo was it was Chris Kavanagh on VAR was hilarious. "I know." with pure hatred in his eyes

^ I think the Echo have done him dirty there. Better relying on the likes of BBC Merseyside for quotes;

... even so, the red card was 83 minutes.

I think that's as close to an admission as you'll get from Moyes that he should have made changes earlier, he's guarded/hid it behind the red card.

The answer to everything, bring Beto on with Barry. While McNeil was having the game of his life I guess?

The red card on 83 minutes stumped everything.

Everything being Beto for 5 minutes.

Branthwaite sure is spending a lot of time on the grass.

I’ve got a feeling we won’t see him for the rest of this season.
