2025/26 David Moyes

[davek]

His style of football would go down like a dose of AIDS with our match going fans I reckon, the relentless commitment to playing out from the back with players that can’t do it has historically never ended well at this club.

All our best teams had players who could get on the ball and play.

Your view of Everton history is probably from the Moyes era on.

You're trying to normalise

Are you saying Evertonians can’t appreciate decent football????? wow just WOW.

I wouldn’t say that. Wrexham Vs Chelsea last night was a pretty good game.

Everton will be at a crossroads soon with this. Moyes will have done his bit and the likes of tarkowski keane coleman all will be going. I think you're right. These players suit Moyes. Those players with someone like Iraola would be a car crash. Bournemouth are a few years into recruiting players and then a manager they see who suits them.
Big few years for Everton coming imo. Recruitment needs to suit the manager.
I had so much respect for Bielsa when Everton were mentioned to him. he knew what suited him. And it wasnt Evertons first team squad.

Any PL standard player can play any style of football.

They're called professionals for a reason.

Not strictly true. Esp as he was talking about defenders. Kevin Ractliffe was hardly silky on the ball. His rapid pace got him out of a lot of sh!t.
Im not sure if thats going back to far ad we've not had that many "best teams" since.

This is not at all true. You ever seen two oafs at centre half play in a high-line system?

They can fit into a team that wants to play.

We had Jagielka playing a different way under Moyes and Martinez, for example.

That's more to do with pace than ability.

There it is. The actual most clueless thing I’ve ever seen typed on this football forum. I never thought I’d see the day where there’d be a clear and outright winner, but here we are.

No mate, it's you who doesn't know what they're talking about.

What you're really trying to do is normalise what you feel happens under Moyes. That's not our history, as you claim. I cant be responsible for your lack of knowledge.

Right... but you said "Any PL standard player can play any style of football." which isn't true.

And Jags was rapid so how is that a relevant comment?

We must be talking different levels of can play dave. Jagielka was bread n butter. Thats not a criticism. He was a great blocker and captain at the back.
Of recent years the best we've had that i class at that level is John Stones.
