2025/26 David Moyes

[davek]

Today defined him as an Everton manager: Europe beckons, we needed a positive performance but we got a stuttering and clueless one overall.

He cant get teams to play with the ball and he depends on players bouncing back when going behind to salvage something.

Utterly mediocre. Nowhere near top ten of managers in this rubbish league, that's for sure.

 

[John from Bootle]

Nah. I dont see any of them as an improvement on what we have apart from Thiago...and he's a bit of a dog too, tbh.

Lewis Potter walks in to this side at left back. As does their right back.

Ok. That's about it then.

We had the better team by far going into that and we just scraped a draw after playing terrible for most of that game.

Lewis Potter the guy who fell over for our first equaliser ....

 

[John from Bootle]

Not really, wanted a win tbh.
Why you so content with better than relegation battles?
Sure you’re not closet kopite happy to see middling Everton battling against the mighty Brentford?

I'm content with better than relegation battles because that's where we are coming from, genius. The next logical step to improvement? Stop being involved in relegation battles.

Yeah, if you're not relatively happy with that result, you have an agenda.

Drew away to a European rival and were in the race with 6 games to go.

Of course, this has nothing whatsoever to do with Moyes...

We don't know . Beto was already here and Barry looked pretty good in La Liga. The right back situation has no clean hands . A disgraceful, historical f up.
With the players he has at his disposal, I think he's doing a great job . We can't play the school of science stuff when our best right back is also our best midfielder. Two forwards who aren't suited to the PL and one of our wide berths not as good as the other.
If Moyes is WHOLLY responsible for recruitment then he has made some errors but he's doing some excellent work in my opinion. We aren't easy to beat and we are not playing ugly football . We are compact ( mainly ) and slightly negative but a hell of a lot better to watch than gravel and gravy .

We gave them a pen & they scored via a deflection- we should have won that game !

The match thread is famously full of bedwetters whenever we're behind or not winning.

Anyhow, I don't see how that equates to people blaming him post match for a performance you described as insipid and "close to a loss".

Happy with the result mate?

Massively mate. The reason I do not go in it anymore until either half time or the final whistle. People losing there head too easily over a misplaced pass or the like.

Players make mistakes Joey. He was outmuscled by a 6 foot 4" 14 stone feller. He's better than Myko.

The objective today was to get above them not stay where we are.

Dyche had all of the same players bar KDH and had us in relegation places. At that point only Dyche could save us right?

Yes David. The objective is to win every game but that’s not realistic is it?

Let's have it right: he wasted the bulk of a £110M budget last summer.

Where are Dibling, Rohl and Aznu in all this? Why would you buy a player like Barry after 1 season in a decent team elsewhere?

Myko is OK defensively I agree but no one in there side stood out two equal sides imo
