Was doubting myself when I thought I spotted him during the match

Yeh a few were asking for photos. I had one with him last year so didn't ask today (just letting him enjoy the match with his lad)

What if the away from matched the home form?

What if only the home wins were counted and averaged over the number of home games the added to the away games and timesed by two?

Best deleted really.

That Lewis Hall should have been off, so lucky to last the full match.

I can't believe he got away with that challenge on Beto as its a clear foul just a matter of it being a free kick or a penalty but for Atwell to give a corner is incompetent and cowardly.

Just chiming in here.

Like I’ve said it myself. Moyes isn’t the guy to take us to the next level. But honestly, who is with this squad? Who’ could get more out of this squad right now?

Agree on McNeil. Not good enough for this level. That said, at least he offers some threat now and then.

What I don’t get is this: everyone’s been shouting that Moyes sticks to the same XI and never changes anything. Today he actually made some rotation and suddenly that’s wrong too? Feels like he can’t win either way.

Loads to improve, no doubt. But the pragmatic approach makes sense to me given what he’s working with. And let’s be honest — we’ve seen this done a lot worse (just look at Sean Dyche).

Who could get more out this squad ??
We heard the same when dyche, not saying from you. But plenty said it

Great result today.

I'm undecided on the park the bus second half.

Is it a manager with nerves of steel or a stubbornness to change tact...I dunno. It was exhausting to watch but it got us 3 points, just!

It’s called playing away against a team in the finals of the CL, and we have been relegation fighters. You don’t get to choose how you want the game to go every game.
It’s just lucky we have a top class manager and the usual average Joe’s our fans worship.

Has Moyes been replaced in the last 10 minutes??

 

[chippy1722]

Well the part where our manager selected a team that won.

Secondly every single anti-Moyes scrote on here would have been vilifying him had we lost.

No one really puts 80% of the blame on players when we lose, so only seems fair to balance the scales when we win.

It’s my opinion, don’t like it, shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

I wouldn’t argue, they have no brain, they tip us to lose every game and give no credit when we win. They moan about because there expectations have risen yet give no credit to the manager who risen the expectations. A large bunch of our fans deserve to support a team fighting relegation it’s when they were at the happiest because they could justifiably critique the manager and players. The team are luck that these fans either don’t go the game or just go homes.

There is a reason our away form is better, the team are better supported there.

Everton are playing like a team in transition, which is exactly what they are.

 

[Lude]

We should only play away games from now on.

COYB !

Away FC continue with their champions league level performances

If we was decent at home we would be fighting for champions league.
