2025/26 David Moyes

[trueblue84]

Good news Rita....you're storming the 'Great Apologist' Trophy with just a week of the season remaining. There's a few hot on your tail but I think you'll pull it off. Maybe Davey can present the award in his garden shed....you know, about as fitting as they did for Seamus.

Are you kidding? If we're comparing to Coleman's send-off, Rita might be getting some gametime against spurs on Sunday.

At this point looking at those options is sensible. Last summer? No way, and I'm glad we didn't. Keane has played his best season with us and McNeil was on the tail end of a season where he had major contributions. Gueye has logged a boatload of minutes and not looked out of place, while allowing space for Garner to grow into a real fulcrum type of player.

I absolutely think we should be doing better but considering all the issues we have solved this season, we might acutally be able to afford some more of that ruthlessness. We know Moyes doesn't lack it, and we know he's spent his time putting together a more solid group of players. The image of a relegation-battling shambles is fading. Hopefully finances are better as well.

I have much higher expectations of what the club should be achieving with transfers this summer. Especially with regards to getting that damn right-back signed up.

Have you actually watched any Everton games this season?

If we keep Moyes I can confidently predict that next season we will finish behind Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, the rs, Man City, Man Utd, Newcastle and Tottenham. That means winning the league for us will be 12th. If Crystal Palace and Fulham get decent managers I would put that to 14th.

I confidently predict you'll be wrong.

I've just read this article and I genuinely don't understand the premise of it. There's just a load of criticism of Ancelotti for some reason and the defence of Moyes seems to be he celebrated goals more than Carlo

Honestly I was a bit lost reading it

It's a throw back to the 00's. The club did the same then, anytime things started to turn sour, they got their mates in the media to push the pro kenwright and moyes narrative. They're probably trying to do the same but there aren't any positives so they're having to criticise others instead.

The problem with Moyes is that he can’t coach controlled possession. (Results will always be inconsistent if you can’t control a game, it’s why he has a glass ceiling)

At home we’ve tried to play higher up the pitch, but with two slow central defenders and a host of other players that turn over the ball, we’ve been killed on the counter (Newcastle, Brentford, Bournemouth, Leeds, Sunderland etc)

Percentage football will never win trophies. I’m actually a big fan of the man, but watching the pace and movement of a limited side like Sunderland, compared to our statues, terrified of moving out of their position, has made me think we need to cut the apron strings.

Percentage football will never win trophies.

Indeed.

It has its place when backs against a wall.

Its not what you want as the crutch for a rebuild.

They can dress it up any way they want - getting the Echo to write puff pieces, the chief exec embarrassing himself but what they can't ignore is how many fans stayed after the game on Sunday.

I don't care how good our form is away next season. If we're as passive at home next season and kill the atmosphere by letting every team knock it round like they want - the crowd will turn very quickly imo.

And more fans are wise to it now thankfully

Some nerve these media people have

Zero to play for on Sunday, besides a few extra million in placement money, please, please just let the players off the leash. I want to see two full-backs, the quickest wingers, attacking footie.

Show us a glimpse of next season.

Another 12/13/14 position for us next season with utter crap footy to watch, but some fans are happy with that, seriously who's looking forward to next season.

 

[Drico]

Following the proud tradition of Everton managers.

Moyesy, Coisty, Alan Brazil...

The Scotland coverage will be "compelling".

Keane played well? OMG. Do you know anything about football mate. He's been better than he was the last few seasons. But still absolutely awful. He's a terrible centre back.

And the common denominator?

We can't go out with a whimper playing boring footie, it will just drain the life out of pre-season.
