2025/26 David Moyes

[raiseyoureyebrow4thewin!]

time to try something different like 3-5-2

Dyche would be harassed out of the country for this. David should not get off the hook either. We need to be better. Too many excuses for this guy after he had a wombo amount of money to spend and two of the players he blew the load on featured in this game for a decent stretch. Let's not happy clap. Burnley are worse than we are. He needs to be able to adapt and get results in situations like this.

He had 5 of his first team out, our squad is threadbare what do you expect us to do?? We are one window out from the horrific mess that we have been in. Peoples expectations are wildly warped!!

 

[PhilRegan]

Thats why he played for the point in the end. Actually a point better off after today off the drop zone

I think he panicked his way to the point but should of done everything to get 3 .

We will struggle against forest . Lost the previous 2 , brilliant chance for 3 points.

 

[blue to the bone]

Why did he play grealish against the top of the league when he blatantly wasnt fit?

Its obviously aggravate it now should of left him out and played him today

He was sick today. Not injured .

 

[MikeH72]

This is why we've been rubbish for years: people who make excuses for THAT trash today handing excuses out to Everton managers.

It was 'kin BURNLEY.

If we remain without our 5 best footballers then I’m afraid to say we’ll continue to be not very good under the next manager too.

I wholeheartedly endorse this but I’d like it to be done by a new manager

 

[Bluewolf]

He's got a virus

Coincidence and i dont believe in coincidences

 

[ToffeeTim]

I really dont like the decision to go more possession based with the style this year. It isn't what Everton does and I find it boring.

As posted yesterday in anticipation of the Moyes and the Moyes cheerleader's inevitable excuses today...

2025/26 Post in thread 'David Moyes'

December 24, 2025

Mykolenko £17M
Tarkowski
O'Brien £17M
Keane £30M
Aznou £8M

Alcaraz £12M
Rohl £17M
Iroegbunam £9M

McNeill £20M
Dibling £42M

All first team players and available to Moyes right now. All 16 of them with PL experience.


Assembled for £260M.


This feller is having an utter laugh trying to peddle a 'we're short of players right now' line.

Just get on with it and start by burying an almost rock bottom Burnley team on Saturday.

He should have his guys better prepared. All I hear are excuses. We are out of the cups and 3 of his big signings have not gotten the job done. You have to have a squad and he has not integrated a lot of these guys whatsoever.

 

[Drago]

Only Wolves have scored less than Everton. It'd be nice if he could think outside the box instead of just swapping Barry and Beto.

Why some go to length to defend this manager I've no idea. I know things have been bad for 7 years but that doesn't mean we should continue with him past this season.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Go and find me an occasion when Dyche had his 5 best players all unavailable at any one time. Best of luck.

So the five players missing you’ve just unanimously declared as our best because it suits your argument?

Pickford and Garner are both in the line up and they’re easily amongst our best players so your argument is bogus.

You’re scrambling around drowning in your own hypocrisy.

Some of your highlights this season:


The opposition has spent more than us

We had players missing

It’s a top team away from home

They’ve got a deeper squad than us

He’s missing Branthwaite

Can’t expect to beat Liverpool and City



Yet when Dyche was managing amongst an ownership change with a much weaker squad and without 100 mill to spend you just put the boot in week after week and wouldn’t accept a single reason for any bad performance.

Massive hypocrite

 

[MikeH72]

25 points after 18 games. About where most expected/hoped we’d be, factoring in the loss of Branthwaite for the entire season so far. Would be interesting to revisit people’s pre season expectations and see if we’re falling as miserably short as this thread would have you believe.

It has definitely made it harder for us. We don't even have the players to play possession based effectively as we get stopped at the 18 yard box even when fully healthy. We lack pacy wings and fullbacks to break the game open.
