2025/26 David Moyes

[orchard]

He archaic isn’t he?

intolerable imo

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Happy to be proven wrong, but that team selection looks very stubborn.

We spent a lot of money on that bench and Moyes, as he demanded, has a key role in recruitment. The team is feeling very stale and he refuses to mix it up. Making a rod for his own back.

Only if you assume they hold Everton and Roma in equal esteem.

That's not a given in some parts around here...

Yep that is the issue isn't it? Which is one of the reasons why I hate multi club ownership. Better to have had the club owned by Downing and Bell imho. Both very successful businessmen and Evertonians. Anyway moot point, you have to judge people on their actions and so far I see no signs on the footballing side of the club that they are ambitious. We'll find out for sure in the next 12-24 months I guess.

The story of his managerial career.

2 completely different entities in different competitions at different stages.

God almighty Carragher is a mega bore

Everything about him is unpleasant.

Deleted that, thought I was still in the match thread, doh

Disappointed with that team selection. It’s gone a bit stale after the first 4/5 games and we have lost that momentum.

Hopefully Rohl is getting more up to speed giving him a bit more scope to change things in the coming games. (Even though he already has Alcaraz available).

I’ve not seen enough of Dibling to know if he offers more than Grealish, KDH or Ndiaye, and I dont think McNeil or Tim are good enough starters.

So it is a little limited in terms of options to switch starting 11s if rohl isnt fully ready as really it’s him or Alcaraz to come in with garner to rb and JOB to cb.

Interesting fact, completely different stories behind each individual.

Matty, when's Moyes leaving and who is coming in next ?

Martinez. Let history repeat.

 

[kiss the crest]

we get beat tonight and this place will melt.

Moyes its on you this

 

[Aries]

Surely it’s already been proven that neither striker can play with the current set up behind them?? He’s been swapping both of them in and out all season and nothing has changed! Bonkers.

Martinez. Let history repeat.

the bottom line is though, would Moyes have played Barkley and Stones the season Martinez took over?

I am not sure as he doesn't play youth

Last time Barry started, Beto came on at half time and helped us turn the game around.

Maybe Beto needs to be the sub and have that drive to prove himself rather than start. And Barry needs more minutes/an actual run of games for some confidence and to get used to the setup.
