2025/26 David Moyes

[Lob]

Exactly why he wont be the Manager of Everton next season. Everyone could see that changes needed to be made very early in the second half except him. It's not good enough.

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.

He’d be on the brink of the sack at most clubs.

He’s lucky that our owners are so detached from the club.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Nah not having he should be sacked now.

I didn't want him back, don't want him long term but no chance on earth he should be sacked now. Cmon now.

This is camouflaging his error in selecting Keane instead of JoB at CB in the first place.

5 points from the last 6 matches is poor given the opponents. He needs to get some wins, & you can blame Afcon & injuries but other teams are in the same position & part of the management is planning for that & preparing the whole squad.

^ 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.

Get you but wouldn't go on Twitter on me work computer

Sacking Moyes would be insane.

Win ratios below:

• Moyes (2nd spell): ~40.5% – Better than Dyche, Lampard, and Benítez, but below Ancelotti’s recent success at Everton.
• Ancelotti: ~46.3% – Best recent win rate among the four immediate predecessors.
• Dyche: ~31.3% – Significantly lower than Moyes’ second stint.
• Benítez & Lampard: ~31–27% – Lowest win rates among this recent group.

….erm, Keane scored a fantastic goal, looked our main attacking threat and was arguably MOM before the sending off.

 

[Bluepablo]

Interesting that he said in the presser that he was going to bring on Beto to play alongside Barry immediately prior to the first red. Not sure how that would have helped get a grip on the midfield.

Who needs a midfield when you have McNeil tearing it up.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Moyes is so far from the sack. He’s under no danger at all.

His remit would have been avoid relegation and anything more is a bonus.

Europe is on the table and there’s zero ambition from owners, scoring, recruitment or manager.

 

[Saint Domingo]

heaps praise on Iroegbunam then gets a very similar question about Patterson and says he won’t be discussing which players will be playing. I’m sure Patterson is absolutely fired up by that endorsement.

This.
We're probably on par for where we should be this season. I actually think qualifying for Europe this season would be a detriment as the squad depth isn't there. Add some quality over the summer. Keep some fringe players, and then go for Europe next year, adding more players in the following windows.

Easy to say, it’s all if buts and maybes, but maybe part of the reason you believe he was our main attacking threat was because we had a CB playing at RB leaving one side completely ineffective with O’Neill on that side too.
If we keep accepting this negative style, that clearly doesn’t work and camouflage it with Ref/VAR issues then we will never win anything

….to be fair to the anti-Moyes brigade, they’ve had their typing fingers in their pockets for so long they were bound to unleash their vitriol at some point.

15 points outside bottom 3, only 4 points off top 5. What a fantastic job he’s doing.

Huge loss being without KDH and Ndiaye for such a busy period. The absence of KDH in particular is difficult to overcome.
