2024/25 David Moyes

[Lanolin]

I can’t remember the last time in my adult life we went into a league derby against them with a better 11, and that’s a genuinely better 11 not one where some Everton fans are trying to convince you that a team with Gibson Neville and Margate Gueye were better than one with Agger Gerrard Suarez in.

Easiest way to rectify the derby mentality is just put together a better team than them. That’s what City did. Keep buying enough good players until eventually you have a better 11 and better subs. You’d soon see the derby results change and this mentality magically disappear.

A thousand times this. We need to stop expecting managers to pull rabbits out of the hat and start putting together teams that can genuinely compete with the best.

City did it from an even lower base against an even bigger local rival. The formula for success isn’t some elusive thing that only United and Liverpool can understand.

Chelsea bought good players and paired with a top manager. Started winning.

City bought good players and paired with top manager. Started winning.

Even Newcastle have started buying good players and lo and behold the longest trophy drought is almost immediately ended.

Spurs have been in a CL final

If you continuously invest in the squad and put yourselves in positions every season then the roulette wheel will go your way at some point and the trophy drought will end.

I wouldn't say it's slagging. I just know what he's capable and incapable of and say so, and hope we move on from him ASAP.

Of course Dave.

The cash will be used to resign existing players...I would not rule that useless tripe hound DCL staying for one.

We'll see sell to buy if we want to see a few new faces.

Anyone who thinks from what we've heard so far about PSR etc who thinks there'll be decent spending are clearly not at the races.

We would be lucky to retain DCL.

IF Branners needs to be sold to fund the rebuild, thats the way it has to be im afraid.

Serious dough will be spent this Summer regardless, cos anyone who thinks we wont spend, is just insane.

Im not suggesting we are gonna be lashing 80m bids around, but we will sign players.

Helps when an oil state decides to pump money in with no care of profit or even balancing the books.

Worst goad ever.

As I say: NEA atm. But he's limited and those limitations will eventually be seen as weaknesses for a club with ambitions to get back to where we belong.

There''ll be no cash though - I FULLY expect that this summer. So Moyes might be here for a couple years yet.

Treading water as per this club.

Gareth Southgate would get us an Anfield win hey Dave.

It’s easier than waiting decades for a once in a lifetime miracle of a manager taking. Team of cheap and loan players and somehow beating multiple teams all with top quality players in every position. Moyes nearly did it in 09 but it sure is easier just to buy a better team.

Thing is, the way the global economy is going we will soon see who has been “swimming naked” soon enough! At least we look to be in the clear (for now).

 

[Toffe3m4n]

It’s the same argument for every manager. Stop giving them a pop gun attack and the results would magically improve. People go on about Newcastle but put Guimaraes and Isaak in that team and we do the double over Liverpool with ease. We could have been 3 up by half time last night. Instead it’s comedy capers with Doucoure trying not to fall over and Beto feeding off random punts forward and thing to guess what Harrison is going to do (underhit an aimless ball is always the answer)

Can have the best tactics you want but fundamentally Everton have had extremely poor attacking players for too long.

Last win at Anfield? James slides a perfect eye of the needle to Richarlison who puts it in the corner without looking. That’s what quality gets you,

This is, ultimately, what it all boils down to.

The mentality can be spot on - but you still need players who'll perform consistently against these top teams.

Good press conference by Moyes

He cant even get himself to the new stadium. It' an insult to all supporters who haven't been in it yet.

He's jaded and needs replacing.

Daft take that tbh. He's stated his reasons. If he doesn't keep us up, he doesn't expect to be here anyway, so why bother. He'll go to the new stadium when its known we'll be a PL club. Makes perfect sense, and only idiots would be insulted.

Like there's any shadow of a doubt about that now.

It's a long way to go, but I think in the 3 losses against Liverpool, Bmouth and Aston Villa we looked better than in 90% of Dyche games this season. Had the chances in any games to get at least a draw. So there is a progress visible in the last 3 months.

He's a man of his word Dave. What a Man.
