Very true but we can’t bemoan gaps in the squad when what money is available is being spent on players who don’t play, seemingly under any conditions.
It’s either poor recruitment or poor management, but gaps in the squad are at least partially due to money being frittered away on players he won’t play.

We're not really privy to the recruitment process, who's responsibility that has been and/or whether or not he's been limited by budget and availability in the areas he needs. He's only had one summer transfer window, with lots of positional gaps and quality defficiencies to fill. I would say that it's very rare for any manager to get all his buys correct, and that some might even be with one eye on the future. He was also very unlucky losing Branthwaite.

English clubs not one at the moment has been knocked out of Europe must say something

Even Spurs are doing well in CL thats how poor a lot of it is.

Those 35 shots done him well !!

He’s a terrible manager and it’s an embarrassment his name will be forever associated with our club

Been a strange year. Quality wise there hasn’t been much different between 8th and 16th at times. So tight - I’m glad to an extent we’ve had an experienced head like Moyes here who has ensured we have fallen the right side of tight scorelines more often than not.

Performance wise i think we have been poor more often than not and haven’t quite transitioned to a different way of playing as quickly as I hoped - most of that due to a few key positions not having the quality required.

But then - who can argue with 8th place in February in reality after the mess of the last 5/6 years. My main worry is they get the recruitment wrong in the summer. I think KDH has been one of the best signings we have made in a long time…Aznou/Dibling/rohl/barry has left a lot to be desired, but have age on their side.

Think we do have a core of young players now in the squad - I hope we sign some ready made players in a few positions which I think could kick us on again.

A core of Pickford, branthwaite, garner, Ndiaye, KDH…work around that quality and it’s not far off.

3 of the players you named have Hardly played, so you can’t really pass judgement on them until they’ve had game time. Under a different manager they may excel

Never thought of that the whole standard of football in Europe is poor

It's more a sign of just how much more money Premier League teams have compared to literally everyone else except Real, Barca, Bayern, Inter etc...

I still think Forest could well win the Europa League if they get a manager bounce.

I thought he talks about you, David Moyes, but he talks about your friend...

The prem is the strongest it's ever been on average, compared to other leagues

People think everyone's crap because teams are constantly dropping points, I think it's more because most teams are actually pretty good

But we can read between the lines
Angus kinnear on toffee tv says, Moyes is very difficult to buy for
Moyes has said he has the final say and it’s common knowledge he doesn’t like working with a DOF, 2 months after he gets the job, Kevin Thelwell leaves the club

Angus Kinnear will have the bigger say on Moyes future..
He will be held accountable for his role, but if he shows all these options supposedly getting turned down by Moyes, who will bite the bullet ?

Kinnear will be at Everton longer than Moyes imo

Same result as us v wolves, probably a tad more entertaining, which does not look good on our manager, we could’ve muster a shot on target v wolves in the 2nd half

So they didn't win?

Well that looks awful silly now doesn't it.
