2025/26 David Moyes

[micknick]

We definitely have some money to spend left over from the summer kitty.

100% you can tell by the way he’s talking.

 

[micknick]

This is starting to annoy me a bit. His knife to a gun fight attitude which seemed to have been tempered at the start of this season is creeping back in

 

[Walken]

That's the third game I can think of against a so called better team when we have gifted them the points without them impressing and in gneral play we look at least their equal. Spurs, journo killers and now chelsea, a trend we need to reverse and getting past obvious weak links like myko would definately help. As well as Keane has done (and he has done really well) a bit of pace in the center really puts out a lot of potential danger from the oppo.

And the way Kinnear was talking on toffee tv. I'd say we'll get 1 or 2 anyway

Negative attitude from the manager doesn't help.

Is it all down to managerial judgement yea? Really?
If we had their squad would you expect us to beat our squad if it was theirs, at home?
Ofc you would, but you'd probably forgive a loss if dyche were the manager but Moyes OBE could win every single game and you'd still have nothing positve to say

The only loss I'd forgive is when we're shorn of talent against a club that's steam-rollering all the teams they face. Even without Ndiaye and KDH to call on does that describe this Everton team? And does that describe this Arsenal team at the moment?

By the way, I will forgive a loss if next week it's a very tight game that we lose by an outrageous referring mistake or we play very well but just come up short.

As things stand though I look at the way Arsenal are playing right now and the way we are, even yesterday, and see next week's game as too close to call. That's a bit different than you and others who seem more interested in throwing a protective arm around the manager and excusing any performance to come next week.

Great response mate
With the previous comment about a player not getting injured if he was playing 15 yards deeper shows you have the brain capacity of a head of cabbage.

Great reply, but if you can’t see how even starting your best player last week in a different position the following week is wrong, then I suggest that commenting on a manager thread is not for you.
You keep happy clapping little Davie being in charge.

I'm not sure that the tactics have been an issue in those games, some of his quotes really don't do him any favours mind

 

[Tel001]

I'm Ndiaying to find out if he will be...

You’re Gana find out soon I guess

It's not really about tactics, it's about belief. If your manager doesn't believe in you it makes your job harder.

I hope they have done their homework in advance and do our January transfer business right at the beginning of it. It is clear we need a striker no matter how nice guys Beto and Barry are. Doesn't have to be prolific, just someone who can put a few away will be an improvement. Right back and centre mid as well. The focus surely has to be on the opportunity of making a final push for a European spot this season. Not because we are great but because there is a genuine possibility this season with the way the league is working out. Mid table teams can sneak in there with some consistency.

Here's the real table:

Only 1 window , some teams below had so called better teams/squads due to spending alot more in previous windows, we started from a low bar, yes we could of maybe spent some of it better, need a few windows of spending before proper judging for me. Whether Moyes is the man who knows

I judge by quality of squad and that £110M spent has allowed (along with bringing in duds like Barry) KDH and Grealish to come in and revolutionise the way we play.

We're not the same limited team we were last season and it took a lot of cash to make that happen. I shudder to think what the Grealish deal's costing in wages, for example.

Moyes has dorm for this sort of thing.

04/05 top goalscorer was Cahill with 11, Marcus Bent was the leading forward with 6. It's the tactics of not using your forward for goals but getting the ball up the pitch and using late runners from the midfield to score

….Yakubu must’ve played for a different manager . More likely the tactics of finding a way to get results with what’s at your disposal.

I see you struggle to read and comprehend . Fair play for making the effort though. It's admirable.
