2025/26 David Moyes

[Eggs]

What i noticed today. As someone who likes to have a bet. Last few years Everton have only been in either the to be relegated or finish bottom 8 betting markets.
I looked today. Everton are in one betting market. To finish top 6.
Thats the job he's done in 14 months.

Think people need to relax with the CL shouts. Walk before we can run. Not even sure we could handle the EL right now.

Fully agree. The fat it’s even being mentioned with 7 games to go is incredible

Boss boss.

Imagine if we actually become a good side with good players. You can do it, David.

O gaffer, my gaffer!

If someone feels like it, they can photoshop the players faces into there. I can’t be arsed going into that much detail!

According to Opta stats he has us massively over achieving, they have us on an expected points of 37

No surprise there, mate. ‘Plucky little Everton’, and all that…

Yep, that’s the benchmark of fairness. Take a relegation threatened team to European contenders in 14 months and now progress can only be proven if we beat our local rivals and a team who have finished ahead of us every season since they gained promotion.

It's amazing how supporters of a team mired in mostly mediocrity for 30 odd years really struggle with moderate objectivity!

It's the ever present dissonance of being a toffee
We badly need some success if only to find some temporary balance
COYB

Agreed mate… One step at a time.

Learn to crawl before you walk, learn to walk before you run, etc, etc…

We’ll get there…

Think it’s Pickford who’s overachieving as we can see most weeks (barring Arsenal )

The ever shifting goal posts that are the Moyes thread.

Its like the rs fans looking at the alternative tables to make themselves feel better.
We have "fans" looking at different scenarios because they can't give the manager credit .
Quite sad.

I'm a little concerned that European qualification is now seen as the benchmark for what should be considered an acceptable outcome this season.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be disappointed if we don't manage now that we are in with a realistic shout, but a perfectly acceptable outcome this season for me, before a ball was kicked, given where we'd been finishing for the last few years and the relative spend in the summer would have been a comfortable 10th-ish position

I still think that would be ok, and I don't want to lose sight of that if we don't end up getting Europe and I do have to keep reminding myself that it would have been totally unfair to expect European qualification as a minimum outcome this season before the season began.

The flip side is that if Moyes achieved Europe at the first attempt, there really isn't much of a debate about that new contract - it'll just be a case of how long.

But if you can keep moving the goal posts so you never have to say he's done a good job why not?

Ok yeah, Europe looks good but if he doesn't win the Derby we need to sack him this summer
