2025/26 David Moyes

Do you really think Tim could take a pass off the defence on the turn.

He can make a great tackle, he can move forward quick. But he's like a kid in an egg race..
He doesn't have game awareness, especially not for a DM position.
Garner is head and shoulders above our other midfielders.

He's statistically ranked as the 2nd best in the PL in that role this season behind Elliot Anderson.

Why would anyone consider playing him at right back when it leaves such a chasm of control and creativity in our midfield?

Because we only have one right back and Moyes, it seems, doesn't rate him. So someone else has to slot in there.
 
It's interesting Sunderland are above us on that list and yet everyone is fuming that they knocked us out of the cup and are having a good season.

Well, shouldn't they be based on this?

What about Thomas Frank's Spurs and that net spend?

Very interesting stuff.
You think that a team's standings should automatically correspond with how much their net spend is? I thought Moyes could harness his eons of experience to prevail against all competition
 
So I said 8th-12th and apparently that isn’t good enough but before the season started you predicted 9th-12th?

Couldn’t make this up. Like talking to a bot.
How the F would I know where you said we’d finish, you were talking about all teams around us spending, where did you think I was going to predict, top 6 you tit
 
Is Moyes punching above his weight with this squad?

I think I would say no as I think we should have more points and we don't because of his team selections and his approach in the home games.

What's happened to Rohl after he was outstanding against Villa, hasn't kicked a ball since.

JOB been very very good at CB when the 2-3 times he's played there this season, soon as Keane is back he gets put in position that hinders us

Armstrong should be playing in the centre or not at all, we have 2 wingers in Dibling and George who are direct players, something we are lacking is players getting us up the pitch.

We have numerous players out of position every game its insane, and for me its completely unnecessary.

No he isn't. Quite the opposite. Moyes is hampering Everton's ability to do more that they currently are by playing with the handbrake on.

This is the best, most balanced, squad we've had in a decade. It's still got some big holes, but as the players showed earlier in the year; when given licence to play on the front foot, they are a force.

Instead we've reverted to 'try not to concede' football, persistent low block, 4x centre backs, players out of position (I can deal with O'Brien at right back, but Branthwaite at left back is a criminal waste...and don't get me started on Armstrong on the wing). It's Moyes reverting to type and it's understandably frustrating the piss out of anyone who can see how positive this bunch could be. Branthwaite, Ndiaye, Garner and KDH are the best players we've had in their respective positions since I don't know when. All hamstrung by where they're asked to play and how the team are being lined up.
