2025/26 David Moyes

[Drico]

That’s the worst, most basic argument to defend Moyes, pure lowest-common-denominator stuff, the same [Poor language removed] the Dychettes used to come out with.

*Whoosh*

 

[Blue Smoke]

He just can't help himself can he..why does mcneil play instead of George? Well it's because it's defence first and foremost. Its never, "im gonna play him, and him, and test the oppostions defence". Its a "lets hang on in there and see if we can grab a goal at the other end".
I like him, I really do. And would love him to lead us into a new era, but let's be honest, he just can't and won't manage that.
I'm sure newcastle are shaking in their boots at a myko, mcneil left side onslaught.

What a gang of PISS babies.
Moyes has managed over 670 EPL matches and won a PRESTIGIOUS european cup along the way. Think HE KNOWS MORE about what he’s doing than a bunch of entitled beer gutted armchair supporters.
We’re 3 points off SEVENTH after 9 years of battling RELEGATION until the last weekend of the season.

Thank you for you for your attention in this matter.

The likely state of play at the end of play this weekend is: bottom half, 2 wins in 10, no win in sight given the fixtures coming up, still playing terrible football.

 

[Efcjake]

He's throwing the toys out the pram about the transfer committee.

I just can't get my head around how he can be having the final say on transfers and refusing to start any of them.

None of that makes any sense does it?

 

[pedro789]

I'm not going to criticise him for today's line up.

The away form has been very good and hopefully carries on today.

Where he deserves criticism is the the horrendous home form and not giving some of the younger lads a go, when they could make a difference.

 

[Lob]

Lost the plot, not that there was much of one to begin with.

Still thinks he's dealing with Billy running the place.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Apart from Garner, kdh, pickford, branthwaite and ndiaye..there's arguably a better team sat on the bench.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Heard the lads he won't play called him out for being a massive dinosaur so he's benched them all. Forever.

 

[blueboy72]

this 100% the last time McNeil played he stunk the place out so what has he done to warrant a starting place, this to me cements the point we will NEVER BE ANYTHING THAN A MID TABLE TEAM WITH HIM HERE

Can’t wait to hear Tony Scott say, it’s because he knows the defensive side of the game, amd
That’s why Dibling and George ain’t starting. They’re wingers ffs

 

[windymiller]

The only thing he hasn’t done is play 4 CB’s he’s actually dropped Keane

That is something, I suppose

I never believed for a moment that Moyes didn't have control - or at least final say - on transfers. This is a man who turned down West Ham's offer of a contract extension purely because he was about to lose control over recruitment. So, unless he was desperate to come back to Everton, I can't imagine he came back without that say. But let's say I am wrong. Let's say the club is driving all recruitment and this public "final say" for Moyes is just a fig leaf to protect his pride. That's even more worrying. Imagine hiring and holding on to a coach who hasn't bought in to the players being signed. That would suggest utter dysfunction in high places.

I'm sticking to my Moyes is just going mad theory for now. That said, I wouldn't be staggered if he pulled off a 0-1 smash and grab (McNeil 90+5) in spite of himself. He'll still fail to beat Burnley on Tuesday, mind...

It's just very strange that he's been allowed to choose how to spend all of this money and yet he very obviously doesn't like any of the signings besides KDH and Grealish.
