2025/26 David Moyes

I’ll never be on board with the team selections, but these away results show how well he *can* drill a team, almost regardless of personnel.

To go ahead twice almost straight after being pegged back is very un-Everton, too.

To repeat my refrain of every other week, these days: I want him gone in the Summer but that’s still a cracking result.
 
Result good, both strikers scored. Overall, balance of the team was good. Makes you wonder why we set up the way we played last match.

He's lost us handfuls of points at home trying to prove he's a manager who can play attacking football. He cant, and he never will be that sort of manager.

If he acknowledges his limitations and plays on the counter with plenty behind the ball we do miles better.

Leicester won a title with a far better manager than Moyes, but one who recognised his players needed to be compact and behind the ball in the vast majority of games.
 
Tbh everyone in the league is playing percentage football apart from Arsenal and City. They’re the only teams controlling games. Every other team is just flipping the coin and hoping they take their chances this week or get a defection or a pen/red card against, and the opposition doesn’t. A few have slightly better tools at the top end, more favourable refereeing, and some have better goal keepers. But there’s hardly any teams in the league playing with any style whatsoever,
 
Not sure where to put it but I like how we scored our first corner after that nonsense last week.

Like even they were embarrassed by it and switched to a more attack-the-ball approach accordingly :lol::lol::lol:
