2024/25 David Moyes

Pretty much now in a position, where top half is gone, as much as relegation is avoided luckily, about where we expected ourselves to be previously to the season, finishing 11th at best and 16th at worst. Thanks for making it very quickly, David!

Important game today to keep the chance of reaching the 11th spot against a team that is very good at their ground despite lately losing bit of the swing of early season at home.

Hopefully can do our best to get a few millions extra for the summer upheaval.

I think they have lost or drew their last six home games but had some tough visitors including Arsenal and Liverpool, Man.City were another but I think that one was surprise the way City have slumped!

Do Americans like this fella or something? 3 interviews he's released in the last couple of weeks and seems to have had good access to the club for years now.

To say I find him insufferable would be an understatement.

He is probably the single biggest football media personality* in the entire country right now (at least if you don't count former players). Granted, that does not make him a celebrity over here -- he could walk down Broadway in the middle of the day and no one would recognize him -- but the media network he built has a very loyal following made up of America's most dedicated football fans, and he's personally responsible for turning many American fans into Evertonians. He's starting to get a bit shticky, but I mostly find him to be a delight.


*I should clarify that he's the biggest English-language football media personality in the US. There are essentially two main groups of football fans in the US: (1) middle-to-upper class well-educated and predominantly white fans who almost exclusively follow the Premier League and the USMNT, and (2) Immigrant communities from Mexico and Central America who predominantly follow Liga MX, which is actually the most-watched football league in the US.

Pundits and the media in general. Rooney had a fantastic career and was perfectly developed by Moyes. Fans are never the best people to decide how many minutes are appropriate for a 16/17 year old boy.

Walter Smith wanted to play Rooney in Everton’s first team when he was fifteen and still at schooRooney played for Everton under Moyes for two seasons he was already perfectly developed before Moyes set eyes on him and a hat trick in his first game for United was the start of a great career with them.

A better manager would have put an arm round Drenthe that day he picked the cup semi final squad and said: "Royston, I cant put you in the team after that stunt, but you're on the bench and you'll get on".

Moyes cost us. There insult a shadow of doubt about that.

The only reason he’d have been putting his arm around him, would be to stop him falling over from all the ale and gear he was on.

He taught that defence how to pass to each other instead of hoofing it 70 yards as they were instructed to by Moyes. He also got Gareth Barry playing just ahead of it and he knitted it all up.

Let's not rewrite history. Martinez re-opened the school of science.

If we are talking about rewriting history I think you're getting Moyes mixed up with your boy Dyche. Moyes' football will never be categorised as possession based and yes he was more direct but hardly 70 yard hoofs all game like we seen under Sean. We also played some good stuff with the likes of Baines, Pienaar and Arteta.

We played good football under Moyes,Dave.

This notion of "hoofball" is a complete and utter fallacy.

No. Just no.

50 yard punts down to Fellaini and a fight for the second ball was the signature move of the Moyes period in charge.

We'd every now and again see Baines and Pienaar link up, but it was that long diagonal ball downfield that summed Moyes Mk1.

Agreed, we’re extremely lucky Moyes was the one to bring him into the first team and oversee the crucial first years of his development. It could have turned out very differently if a lesser manager had been in charge e.g. Billy Kenny, Jeffers etc.

Hogwash,mate....and you know it.

We didn't bypass Osman and Arteta in midfield just to punt it to Felliani,you're playing silly beggers now.😂
