2025/26 David Moyes

[Drico]

In a season where half the rest of the PL are playing in Europe, and we've been getting a lot of them after they've played away in Europe midweek, we should be well into that top ten.

It's good that we're finally there, but that'll be the basis for approval for the rest of the season; and every time we fall out of it - and we really shouldn't now from this moment on - criticism should be heaped on this manager.

Top ten is low hanging fruit. The PL is dire. We all know this. And we have a quality first team squad that requires strengthening at CF pretty much only this January now that Garner has made RB his own.

I'd accept top ten after 38 games as a minimum. I've said that from the off. But we really should be targeting top 7 and a likely European place.

Dave, you should know by now that ambitious targets frighten too many Evertonians...

He’s right here. I’m sure his reasons are probably backward but he’s right. When you’re playing the oldest team in the division and basically making a point to not develop the younger talents in the team the only way it can work is to make Europe.

It’s highly amusing the way you keep changing your narrative week by week, depending on results, to suit your agenda against Moyes.

Whether you want Moyes in or not, Dave should never be relied on to be part of a normal conversation on any subject. He is completely inconsistent and changes the goalposts constantly. (Which I guess means he is consistent, but only in regards to changing the goalposts) it doesn’t matter if he sometimes hits on something true or interesting, his whole way of debating means he can’t be taken seriously

Yeah I haven’t read everything he’s said which is why I said his reasoning is probably nonsense. Sometimes he gets to the right end place anyway somehow.

Oftentimes when he hits on something as well, you’ll find that later down the line he’ll completely reverse his opinion on it once most people broadly tend to agree on the subject (Moshiri, Southgate etc) it’s actually becoming more tedious than it is amusing.

We don't have a god given right to be in the top ten because teams with far better squads than us are in Europe and we finally spent a bit of money in a transfer window for the first time in half a decade.

You can repeat this all you like but it's not reasonable to expect us to go from relegation favourite to top half side in one transfer window and 12 months.

Top 7 and a European place? You are taking the piss far too obviously here. That's not reasonable at all.

Ambitious target, certainly.

Trying to create a narrative that it we don't get top ten or Europe that Moyes has somehow failed after having to replace half his squad that was relegation level last year? Come off it.
