2024/25 David Moyes


All good mate.

I cant convince you regarding Moyes and that's fine, everybody is entitled to their own views.
Not sure about you mate, wouldn’t want to assume your views, but I’m not sure why there seems to be this opinion amongst those who are anti Moyes that we want him around for another 11 years or something. For me, we all know Moyes has a ceiling, but that ceiling is infinitely higher than the last manager. It is up to Moyes to put us back in a healthy position in which we are competing in the top half again or towards the European places, then it is up to the owners to find someone to push us along further. Everton need to stop trying to rush to the finish line. Moyes is the first step on the ladder for me, and he is doing a fine old job at that.

Moyes himself has said he won't be here 11 years.

At some point the results will go poo and he will be sacked.

That's football.

But for now he's here, sure I could hold a grudge from 15 years ago and prat we lose and he gets sacked.

Or I can jump on the train and ride the Moyes express till it derails.

I choose option 2.
 
Never mind keeping Rooney on the bench, I remember he left Drenthe at home when we played Liverpool in the cup SF in 2012.

Drenthe would have been the ideal player off the bench to have pressed Liverpool back into their own half and relieve pressure when we'd taken the lead.


Sgt Maj. Moyes knows best though. The 'kin divvy.
Here is a quote from an interview with Drenthe about Moyes and his time at Everton.

“And while there are certain occasions where I can say I still feel I was in the right, on the whole I'd say he was. Ultimately, he wanted to get the best out of me as a player, he wanted to help me, I just couldn't see that at the time. But people change, and I can look back now a lot older and wiser, and I can understand why he did what he did with me."

Royston Drenthe was a head case who undermined the whole team ethos… he crossed the line numerous occasions and peed his team mates off massively.

I remember Rooney saying similar. Said that Moyes was right to keep out of the limelight a bit, he obviously just wanted to play football and fair enough as a 16 year old lad already living his dream.

That was on Drenthe for failing to turn up for a team meeting and breaking into FF to party with Brass

The bottom line line is that he could have been bon that pitch that day and got us over the line and into a cup final

And if my Auntie had balls she’d be my Uncle.

There is no way of knowing that in the same way we did not expect Distin to set up Suarez for their equaliser…that’s when the game changed.

It does not change the fact that if Moyes had included him it would have undermined every standard and discipline that all the other players signed up to.
