Remember to get some vitamin D today, touch some grass and have a song in your heart.
I think It limits the shape and effectiveness of our attack , I'm not allowed to mention how I feel about something or what I observe because you determine it's not proper Moyes based content? I think if anyone is about propaganda you might want to look at yourself . It's a football forum to discuss the minutia of the game.

I am certainly not on your level of praise for Moyes but you do get the feeling that there are a couple of posters in here that would have complained regardless of what happened in the season and in the transfers made.
If we had bought full backs but not got a striker, so only had Beto and youngsters, or maybe didn't get Grealish/Dewsbury-Hall. It was a summer where there was not going to a fix for all positions, we would have to spend well over 200 million to get even close to fixing all the problem areas, 1st 11 and squad depth.
There are a few things that can be pointed at Moyes and criticised, the transfer window is not one of them, in my opinion. I believe it was deemed that Mykolenko and O'Brien were sufficient for one more season, to enable other areas to be focused on. They are not the best options, by any stretch of the imagination but they certainly do a job there.
As you said, this transfer window is a priority for full backs.
It definitely does affect the attack. I don't for one second believe that this is a long term plan.
I believe that there were players identified in all positions, but to fix every position last summer would have been a monumental task. So, priorities had to be made. To get a striker in was priority number one, full backs we had players that could do a job. We only had Beto, so we definitely needed that. It was then, more than likely to get midfielders in to improve the quality there, again as full backs had players that could do a job.
This summer full backs are definitely the priority and if we can get improvements in other areas, whether that be squad depth improvements or 1st 11, hopefully not losing any/many of our more important players, then we can look forward to a successful transfer window.
Maybe the fact you keep repeatedly searching for gifs of men wanking is the reason your cookies are a mess and you’re getting weird ads mate.
I have to say the last two games we've looked a lot sharper in regards to set pieces which I think will be key if we aim to get anything over Arsenal next week

There you go. First line. Thats why i said it. You accused someone of doing exactly what you do. All your posts come over in a manner that you have this superior knowledge of football. Fck knows why. You sound like you've just come off a games console.
So far up your own ass.
Right, @mods, a humble administrative suggestion from the trenches.
The current Moyes discourse is becoming a bit like a family dinner where half the table insists the roast is perfect, while the other half is simply wondering why the smoke alarm has been going off for twenty minutes.
To restore order (and possibly our collective sanity), may I propose the creation of two clearly signposted threads:
1. The Moyes Appreciation Lounge
A safe, carpeted environment where the devoted may post uninterrupted tributes to the managerial genius of David Moyes. Expected content, ‘Masterclass again, Davie’, ‘No one could do better’, ‘he way over performs against his budget’, plus graphs showing possession in the 83rd minute of a 0:0 along with general comparisons to Ferguson, Guardiola, and possibly Winston Churchill.
No dissent, no awkward questions or observations, just pure, unfiltered admiration. Frankly it would be therapeutic for everyone involved.
2. The Actual Discussion Thread
For those of us who enjoy the slightly outdated concept of discussing Everton’s manager in the context of… Everton’s performances.
Radical ideas may include mentioning results, referencing tactics, wondering aloud why certain substitutions resemble pulling bingo numbers, questioning why he wont play certain players etc etc.
This would facilitate civilised, unbiased, reasonable, occasionally sarcastic debate without the immediate arrival of the Moyesettes clutching their pearls and raging at any voice of dissent.
In short, one thread for praise, one thread for reality.
Everybody wins, certain posters blood pressure will (hopefully) be lowered and the rest of the forum can once again scroll without watching the same argument restart every 14 minutes. People will be free to post without fear of middle-aged beetroot cheeked rage demons jumping on comments they disapprove of.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

In absolute stitches here mate. Spat my brew all over the show when I read this piece of comedic genius. Side splittingly funny, and original. I think you missed your calling.
Ah yes. Hopefully you stick around to continue providing this for us.
Love him or loathe him this is very impressive long live copper bollix

I think we could nick a result against Arsenal especially if they insist on playing the turgid football they've been playing of late as we have the players who'll make it difficult for them to create anything and we should be able to deal with set pieces you'd hope with the size of our players (though Newcastle and Spurs games add some doubt to that theory)
