2025/26 David Moyes

So is that you saying you think the owners think he's doing an alright job then?

No, I stated that's what they might be excused for thinking if their priority was protecting their investment.

*sigh*

How is it negative? What are they working it out against? We have 16 points from 14 games.

Compared to away PPG I believe

Ah right that makes sense.

Forgive me if I don't think Patterson is anywhere near good enough for Everton. He didn't do anything bad in that short run, but I don't think he did anything good either. It'd be a matter of time. I'm inclined to believe they are right that Aznou isn't physically ready to play at left back, but you're right that he looked capable against Sunderland, I don't know what's going on with him being omitted completely.

I think that still counts as not great.

But we can’t conjure up great options out of mid-air, between transfer windows, can we?

What we *can* do is provide the kind of balance that playing natural FBs brings, and in so doing free up space for our best CB to play CB, our best CM to play CM and for our ailing wingers/forwards to get some sorely needed attacking support.

In the Summer, finally, belatedly we can look at upgrading our options.

He deffo should've given the younger lads a run of games, but also think they/their agents have only got themselves to blame.

If I was a promising young player, Moyes is probably the last manager currently working in PL I'd sign for.

You've only got to look at his career, hardly a secret how he manages young players.

Ha ha hes trolling you all at this stage.

I'm sure he is, doesn't mean he should play there.

 

[RD2910]

I'm sure he is, doesn't mean he should play there.

He clearly isn't though.

 

[pfim]

He clearly isn't though.

Doesn't matter, does it? He shouldn't be playing there. He should be at CB.

 

[Neiler]

Can't disagree with that, first time he played there I said he's our best left back.

Similarly Garner is out best right back, doesn't mean either player should be playing in those positions though.

The difficulty is they are both international class in the positions they’ve moved from.

The full back issue is damning and likely to undermine the whole season mate!

 

[Marcus Kendall]

I'm sure he is, doesn't mean he should play there.

Didn't Moyes suggest he needs to play left back before being trusted to play centre half? His press conference was as bad as ever

 

[RD2910]

Doesn't matter, does it? He shouldn't be playing there. He should be at CB.

Well, if he was as good a LB as he is a CB, it wouldn't be a problem because he'd be really good.

 

[pfim]

Well, if he was as good a LB as he is a CB, it wouldn't be a problem because he'd be really good.

It would be a problem, because we'd have a lesser player at CB, a far more important position.

I'm not enough of a masochist to pay any attention to his PCs.
