2025/26 David Moyes

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For those of us who enjoy the slightly outdated concept of discussing Everton’s manager in the context of… Everton’s performances.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.

Make GOT Great Again

Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Don’t insult Moyes by comparing him to Winston Churchill!
 
Havent played any football related videogames in years , the new Indiana Jones game is superb though. I just watch footy, try to never miss an Everton game have my own outlook, and engage in discourse. I have flawed takes like anyone else and sometimes I think I'm able ascertain some of level of insight from my experience as well. Your comments are noted and you have a lovely day

I could care less who hates Moyes. I just skim past the posts as its usually the same old sh!te on a daily basis. But i couldnt let that one slide. You do exactly the same as you accused someone else as. It made me chuckle.
Have a good day.
 
Does he really want long term fullbacks to replace O'Brien and mykolenko or just better full back option when Jake isnt available? Its obviously more than a temporary make shift setup than it was purported to be last season. As much as he mentioned trying to find a fully purposed right back, he seems pretty comfortable with Jake in that position and I don't think it's just a dearth of alternatives
I’m loath to defend moyes but

Here i think he wants fullback…as he knows the importance of attacking fullbacks…Baines/Prime Coleman

I simply think he knows he can’t rely on Coleman now. Clearly thinks Patterson is awful (although for me hes been ok)

Think in summer they go big on full back positions.

He did have Hibbert as his RB for a good 9 yrs last time he was here. I’m not convinced he will be going all out for attacking full backs in the summer, more likely it will be 6ft plus full backs, who’re slightly better going forward than Myko and O’Brien.
 
I noticed the loser was asked about Europe after the Burnley game and answered it by talking up the successful campaign against relegation.
