2025/26 Tyrique George

[Zatara]

George - getting literally fewer minutes here than he was at Chelsea
Dibling - gone from playing a full season in the prem to barely seen
Röhl - gone from playing when fit at Freiburg to barely seen
Aznou - gone from 'not quite ready yet' at Bayern to 'not quite ready yet' here
Armstrong - gone from playing every week in his position to sub minutes on the wing

Doing a wonderful job at providing a pathway for our players

Nailed it

 

[Saint Domingo]

Couldn’t bring him on in case he made a mistake on the flank. Then the experienced players on the field stood there and allowed Dowman to cross the ball in because Mykolenko didn’t switch on from the throw in.

I’d wager a lad coming on with fresh legs and pace may have had some better concentration than lads who have scrapped for 90 mins.

Just baffling. If we send him on loan to Preston will Moyes play him next season? Seems to be a better qualification for playing for Everton than playing European football for Chelsea is.

Another that doesn't train properly? Moyes signed him didn't he

McNeil gets picked because he will do the defensive stuff. We have also moved Ndiaye back on the left (he should be there all the time imo) but George is clearly not meeting Moyes strict selection criteria in training, I honestly thought we would have seen a bit more from him by now even if it was just to take the heat off Ndiaye a bit, similar to Dibling I guess.

Think that’s on Moyes
And McNeil didn’t track James v Leeds who scored and then [Poor language removed] out of a 50/50 so I’m not buying it’s about him defending, Moyes plays Harrison Armstrong wide. It’s what Moyes does , surely your wingers are there to help you win the game, not how good defensively they’re

They are when you are a safety first team, even the Grealish's and Ndiaye's are in the team because of what they can do defensively, this is Moyes we are talking about (like you said) Anyway without going off topic Id be surprised if we keep George tbh.

It's obvious that he was only signed as an extra body because Dwight was going to Palace.

And now Dwight has returned to some sort of form

Nailed it

If there was a post of the month comp on here, it would be similar to Pickfords save when we said give it him now!!

 

[Joey66]

His two minute run out must have boosted the lads confidence - If Beto was knacked he should have come on a a ast no 9 to catch them on the break Barry was appalling ....

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Sickener this one, because the signing felt like an acknowledgment that we needed some pace and directness, but then we have just gone on not to use him and so not only do we still lack pace and directness but we’re actively alienating a player that could have given it to us.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

So much about the success or lack of it for players this season comes down to one thing - if Moyes is playing them in their preferred, natural position and selecting our teams based on the situation or comfortability.

McNeil is as left footed as they come. Stuck on the right. Armstrong is great in the middle. JOB is a CB. I don’t think we would necessarily be 2nd or 3rd. But I’ve thought so many times we could consistently be 4th or 5th, with distance below us.

Thought we had a great midfield during AFCON and it was replaced immediately. Even though Patterson isn’t the best, he’s the better option at RB than Jake. On the few occasions Moyes set us up appropriately, much to his chagrin and because circumstances forced him to, the results were instant and positive.

Nailed it

Forgot that Aznou actually made more appearances for Bayern last season than he has for us this season lol

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

It would never happen, but I’d love to see George start as striker and bring in one of Beto/Barry in the 88th minute like is done to him. We need his pace and inventiveness. We need freshness. We’re stale and slow.

I said at season start that I'd judge Moyes and the signings from January.

Incredibly disappointed with how hes managed the younger players.

It certainly appears as though we could sign R9 and R7 but unless they both worked hard defensively they'd not get a game.

For all we know, Aznou could be a star in the making, Dibling and the others too.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Seeing as he can't play the next match it will be mid April before he gets his next 7 minute workout.
