2025/26 David Moyes

This for me is the key bit. He can’t rest on his laurels this time. The Friedkins won’t let him, and he’ll know it’s unlikely he has another 11 year stint ahead of him here. Whatever legacy he wants to leave at the club he needs to do it quickly, so he should be pushing Kinnear for every pound he can in January, pushing to get us into Europe, and then demanding better players in the summer to have a tilt at a trophy next season.

Thats why i couldnt forgive him for surrendering our League Cup chances to a very poor Wolves team.
If he was ever to bring a trophy to Everton this time round it was going to be a cup competition.
I felt on Saturday he was happy to lose 2-0 rather than take a risk of conceding more.
HIs mindset is all wrong

The team's identity so far this season has been built round players that carry the ball, and now with two out of three of them unavailable for a few weeks we'll have to see him find another way. Grealish cant be expected to shoulder their absence. And I dont see him pushing Grealish inside and playing Dibling and McNeil in the same way as we play Ndiaye and Grealish out wide.

He cant go with possession based play because that's about as anti-Moyes style as there is. It'll be a lot more playing off Barry and looking for the second ball. The fortunate thing is we play some favourable fixtures in the meantime after Arsenal: Burnley away we've done well there before; Forest away the same in recent seasons (play Beto against them); Brentford then Wolves at home. If there's a 'good' time to pick up injuries and have players unavailable because of international duty it's the next month.

Something smelling a bit fishy with this post..

Clever wording to build up expectations, whilst you are low on ammunition...

Forest away is the glaring part, hanging out the bait.

"Injuries" is the hidden device.
This is where you will come back too.

KDH and possibly Grealish shouldn't have been used carrying niggles.

110m failure in the squad strength, to cover these injuries.

Why did we bring in Rohl ?

Medical team should have Branthwaite fixed by now..

Lack of minutes to prepare the bench for these cases.
We knew Afcon was going to be a factor.

Moyes, ignorance to the above, will be the bat you start swinging..

You can't fool me Dave, I know your game..

The idea of making subs is to change the flow of a game and get it turned round if you're losing or if you're trying to consolidate - fairly obvious statement like. But Moyes uses them usually to go like for like and just double down on Plan A.

He just doesn't see the in-game decisions that need to be made. We have options on the bench but we need to go to different formations to utilise them.

Very revealing stat that is.
