Simply wasn't backed in the summer window following the first season.

We needed an upgrade in the type of technical player who could carry out the game plan...a game plan that'd begun to be read by opponents toward the end of the first season, in fact.

That's - in a nut shell - what happened.

But back to Moyes: we're where we should be after 15 games when our opponents are nearly all playing two games per week in Europe and with our upgrade in player resources in the summer.

This is not a good league. Top 10 is a minimum requirement this season.

When did 7 out of 15 become nearly all? Is this from the same maths textbook where upward of £6m equals £3m?

What are you on about? I'm not sure you know like, but I'll ask anyway.

You said nearly all our opponents play two times a week with Europe. 7 out of our 15 opponents have played in Europe this season. That is not nearly all.

It's simple. Only seven of our league opponents so far this season are also playing in Europe. That's out of 15 games. Not "nearly all" as you like to believe. For a WUM, your game is slipping. Even you can't be THAT obtuse.

I do beg your pardon. Tomorrow it will only be half of the teams we've played are playing in Europe.

I can see now that we've been very unfortunate in that respect...

I’m going to assume you don’t want us to qualify for Europe as you seem to see it as an absolute season destroying blight on our existence?

Almost every other team apart from United's and Brighton dont have the quality squad we have now.

No, we have the squad to compete and certainly will after the next 2 windows.

Up to Moyes now to get a European place.

He’s covering his bases early doors with a new and ready made excuse should we get a result against Chelsea.

“ We’re only getting results, as we’re playing against teams that are knackered from playing midweek in Europe “

He hates Moyes so much, he’s just dredging up anything to suit his warped agenda against him.

What are you on about? The teams that are in Europe all have squads to compete and you seem to like to use it as an excuse for them when they drop points against us?

We beat a team that isn’t in Europe like Fulham = they’re crap, it doesn’t count.

We beat a good team = they’re in Europe, it doesn’t count.

None of our wins count. What a joyous world to live in. Definitely, unquestionably an Everton fan.

He actively wants us to lose, just so he can stick it to Moyes.

It’s not normal in any sense for a fan to want their team to lose.

We apparently have the squad to compete, despite having a bench that we can’t fill, that has 2 keepers on it and also includes players that Dave views very highly like Patterson.

Whilst still starting 8 players who Dave thought were achieving well under the previous manager by being in 17th place last season.
