2024/25 David Moyes

[ToffeeTim]

I think we need higher standards than that. We need a squad overhaul in the summer, so the squad that begins the new season should be massively upgraded. "One or two" simply will not do.

If it is, well, the fact that the current squad was relegation fodder for four years will be here nor there.

The summer will dictate the ambition of the Friedkins and what we can realistically expect next season. Massive change required.

We should always be aiming for more than mid table. We should be aiming to win.

But after 4 seasons of relegation trouble, mid table safety would be an improvement and acceptable

10-8th next season
League cup
Hard to beat at home.
Stop the white winning the league again- what we normally do isn’t it

Bit racist that.

This is better than when you were doing form tables for Dyche and making out like being 13th in it over the course of 4 games was good.

How do we not have any draws in our form?

My memory is not the best, but pretty sure we had quite a famous one…

The more I think about it, the better this last month seems to get. Maybe there an element of 'blue tinted specs', as I grew up supporting a Moyes managed Everton and *all* of my best Everton memories came during that time.

Over the last few years, Everton have been by far and away the biggest drain on my mental health… completely irrational I know, but football is a funny old game as they say. The way I dealt with that was to try and avoid Everton as much as possible… I’d only venture on here for example after a positive result to avoid the negativity and I stopped watching other PL games as I’d spend the whole 90 minutes doing mental gymnastics working out which result would help us the most in the long run.

I visited Goodison once last season: the Burnley home 1-0 win. I can’t say I enjoyed it, and even though this is our last season at Goodison I had no plans to get to another game this season… I didn’t want to taint my memories of the place.

In short: I was actively distancing myself from the Everton. I haven’t been a season ticket holder for a while now anyway and it’s difficult for me to get to a games these days, but I was culling it from my life.

And here we are, a month after Moyes coming back, and it’s like being a kid again. I’m looking forward to our next game, I’m reading up about all things Everton as much as I can, I’m genuinely excited to look at the table and see where we could finish and now I’m gutted that, in all likelihood, that Burnley game last season could well be my last at Goodison.

Moyes' achievements in this short time go beyond the quantifiable points on the board.

Great start from Moyes and we are winning games but for all he is getting more out of the players, the weakness of the squad is evident. We’ll need to strengthen significantly to have a realistic prospect of challenging in the top half of the table. Fingers crossed that will happen but it might take more than one window to get us to near where we want to be.

Agree. We would all expect a competent board, DoF & Manager will not repeat past mistakes but its by no mean guaranteed.

It’s the way transfermarkt calculates the range with matchdays. It’s looking there between matchday 21 (Villa) and matchday 25 (Palace) but can’t include the draw because technically that was matchday 15 but rearranged.

So not true current form then, makes it a bit pointless

 

[Cork Evertonian]

He's given us back our Everton and saved us from relegation. Whatever bad blood there was after he went to Man United is gone as far as i'm concerned.

Yeh I don’t know why they don’t fix up their matchday listings when games are rearranged. Happens every time even for games moved with like cups etc.

Yes… making it not the best source for our actual form!

Nothing blue tinted at all mate, since he's come in it's been absolutely ridiculous. I said it last night, I didn't even know where the next shot on target was going to come from after Bournemouth away, let alone a goal, let alone a point or 3!

it's been an amazing last 5 games and just gives everyone a real shot in the arm and positivity. Been so long since we've been on a run like this and looking like we can score goals.

I'd be hoping for top half with Europe as a stretch target. Huge change needed this season. If we spend like we need to spend this summer, then mid-table won't be enough.
