2025/26 David Moyes

And yet in his debut with us winning against lower league opposition he did little more than trap the ball and pass it either sideways or backwards. And in the games he's had since shown nothing much more. Next you'll be saying he runs rings around defenders in training at Finch Farm but Moyes has an agenda.
So, your followup to a video showing your assertion that "he can't beat a man" was absolutely daft is to then excuse Moyes for Dibling not replicating beating a man (which, again, that's bad faith) saying "oh, next you'll say Moyes has an agenda".

Let me clarifiy: Yes, Moyes has an agenda. Moyes only plays players he trusts. He was down on George after a single mistake against Bournemouth but gives Dwight McNeil chance after chance, JOB chance after chance, Gana chance after chance, Keane & Tarkowski chance after chance, Mykolenko chance after chance when they balls it up as they did for the entire last third of the season. If you are not in Moyes circle, NOTHING YOU CAN DO IN TRAINING is going to get you there.

Let's use your hypothetical situation of "he doesn't perform well in training". You think there isn't a single week that Aznou was better than Mykolenko in training? Dibling better than McNeil? You honestly think there isn't ONE WEEK those players completely outperformed their counterparts in training but weren't picked for the match? I mean, your whole point is "we don't see them in training" which is true. But David Moyes used 8 players for over 70% of all the minutes in the league. But you say "he never did better in training than whoever was in front of him" and that's just a mad take. What's the point of training if you perform better but someone else is picked?

So, yeah, Moyes absolutely 100% unequivocally has an agenda.
 
Over the past month I've seen Blues on Twitter blame Moyes for the Iran War,AIDS and dicomissoning of Concord.

Is there anything Blues don't blame him for?
Not being able to maintain an erection. Although it’s not a surprise as this blue rinse demographic are Wor Davey’s core supporters.

I have seen, on these pages, in just the last few hours:

People/ HAL9000 pretending Moyes got Everton playing in the champions league when we lost in a qualifying round.
People pretending that Moyes doesn’t have final say on transfers even though Moyes himself is on record/video stating that he did.
People stridently claiming that players are not getting game time because they aren’t performing well enough in training, even though we’ve seen evidence of players performing well in actual games (Patterson, Aznou, Rohl) and then being ostracised the very second one of the manager’s favourites becomes available again. This is also seemingly regardless of results too.

That’s a pretty dumb equivalent! It’s more like if you go to the Olympics and lose in the heats.

The heats would be the league format.

We failed to qualify.

I could argue this with you @jceverton for a while. But, we are moving away from the original discussion point.

@davids claimed Moyes got us into the Champions League, I will stop at this point and come back to it in the end.

He knew his mistake when asked the question and @Jebus_lives spotted the mistake as well.

He played dumb and never acknowledged the mistake.

@jceverton gave him an out when bringing up Harry Catterick and the European Cup and he pretended that was what he meant.

Take a look at what he posted again and remember this was his response when someone said Moyes was petrified of the Champions League.

And yet he got us into the CL.So was that the only season he was positive?
And then this:
To lose on penalties was so undeserved
Everton faithful
It was desperately cruel on Everton after they made light of the two-goal first-leg deficit with a vibrant performance that threatened to sweep Fiorentina aside, creating chance after chance.


Everton were without Tim Cahill, sidelined by a foot injury, but it did not stop David Moyes's side going on all-out attack against the high-flying Italians.

The key distinction is, the qualifying rounds are part of the Champions League tournament. He had to qualify through league position to get there. We didn’t qualify for the group stages, which some people see as the actual start of the Champions League. Nevertheless, it is factually incorrect to say we did not take part, however poorly, in the 2005-06 Champions League.

Have you read his post?

Read it again.
 
I briefly lost my erection while thinking about Moyes’ transfer strategy. But then I started thinking about a John Stones-Michael Keane partnership and it came back again.
