2025/26 David Moyes

I also genuinely worry about what it has done to some of the squad players’ mentality.

Imagine being Adam Aznou - Moyes makes 7 changes and you aren’t one of them and to rub it in he played a 36 year old right back in your position ?

So I think the squad selection even fails on the “seeing if squad players are up for it and sod the cup” - he’s made it much harder for them to shine than just 2-3 changes would have.
I think those of us hoping he'd grown as a manager and had a new outlook are the ones who have been particularly slapped out of our naivety by last night.

He's never been a perfect manager. The truth is he comes with the David Moyes downsides now as much as ever.

Aznou and alcaraz for me no idea why was taken off Tim Iroegbunam just have not seen anything to make me think should be in the team. Then well aznou whatother game is the lad meant to get a chance in, you have 3 cb in the back 4. So should have started imo or atleast been used as a sub.
 
Well his words suggest he wasn't that bothered last night.

What will have changed between then and now? He's not sat down with a room full of Evertonians.
He literally heard the reds winding us up on Saturday singing about no trophy since 1995

He doesn't need to sit down with a group Evertonians. Surely hearing that is all the motivation you need ahead of a cup tie.

I am flabbergasted by it all
 

Just caught up on this thread.

Quite the tag team.
 
Sort of .

He will be our manager for the rest of the season IMO.

Next season, not so sure.
He needs to be out of here in the summer. Done a very good job up to this week - but was never the man for the future once the club had been stabilised. The first half hour at Anfield and last night's fiasco have reconfirmed his old failings.
 
I'd like to see the club planning properly for life after Moyes. I don't mind if that's next week or next summer, so long as we aren't forced to rush and appoint a manager who is just another stop-gap.
 

Wolves picked a weakened team. Grealish and others didn't really set the world alight when they came on. We conceded when they came on. Teams have found us out so we need to vary it up. I said it before the game and I still believe it after the game.

It is a disservice that Coleman is afforded a shirt at this point in his career. He should have retired 3 years ago. We aren't even going after FA's or looking at youth options. We are being as lazy as humanly possible banking on Coleman's "legacy." As if the fans are that stupid to think this is acceptable. Enough is enough. This is the last piece of the Kenwright Jigsaw that needs to be yeeted to the curb. Now.

Grealish`s impact wasn`t great last night because most of the time he spent picking himself up off the turf after getting brought down by a Wolves player. Agree completely about Coleman.
