We have got another youngish centerback who doesn't sit deep, but Moyes decides its better sticking him out on the right and having the weak spot of the defence right bang in the middle (keane)

Well, maybe I should emphasise quality athlete more than quality player!Yeah, you're definitely a WUM. You've given it away now.

Fair point that and regardless of how you feel about West Ham that apparent performance today doesn't sit right with me.

Moyesettes…. Here we go again.
This almost identical same group of players has struggled for years - Moyes himself was brought in because we were in trouble only about 18 months ago.
Recruitment hasn’t hit the mark at all since, some of the blame for that must be on Moyes but also - they ripped the entire thing up last year mid window.
Do you think another manager has this squad considerably higher in the table this year?

That’s just an excuse, we didn’t need to play Keane and Tarkowski as a pairing when we had O’Brien to step in

Keane wasn’t the issue this season, at least for most of it.
I was very underwhelmed when he was announced but during that brief spell where he had us in and around the European spots I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with what is still a squad with significant quality issues.
I found it hard to believe we were in and around those spots given how we clearly had issues and made (unpunished) mistakes even in matches we won but you can't argue with results. But....
I can overlook bad results or form if there's something there but there's nothing and seemingly zero interest in mixing it up. Today, from an Everton point of view, was pretty much a dead rubber. He should either have been looking to win and doing everything possible to do that or treating it as an opportunity to try new things - he did neither.
He was as on the beach as a lot of his players and that is beyond poor. If the owners choose not to make a change they need to significantly improve the squad and demand improvement from him.
Good managers can get the best out of players.
Competent recruitment teams in the richest league in the world can find good players regardless of a clubs continental standing.
When possibly the most pessimistically viewed of the newly promoted sides is celebrating European competition then there really can't be many excuses anymore. But I've a feeling there will be.
I guess what I'm saying is.....Welcome To Everton Tomáš Souček. Can you play RB lad?

We could have been radical and signed an actual right back so JOB could play in his correct position….

I agree. Huge opportunity missed last weekend being 1-0 up v Sunderland at half time. Just see that game out like so many others in a run in and instead it was a criminal waste and now Sunderland in Europa league.
Next season Spurs and Newcastle have no European football at all so both will surely improve just playing once a week. Just like Man. United eventually did this season. And Chelsea made a better managerial appointment (on paper) than I was expecting.
I think things might get worse next season. Basically the defence tends to keep this club well away from bottom 3 but it was poor last week and today I don't think it won a header from a defending set piece for the first hour today so it is starting to creak a bit under sustained pressure.
Could be a Forest type season imo if the club gets complacent in the transfer market.

So the defensively minded Dyche wouldn’t even play O’Brien and somehow you have him down as the second best central defender at the club. That seems very much a big stretch.
If anything, he is protected by being out wide as it’s a more forgiving position.
