I am not sure I entirely agree on that. I think towards the end Moyes did try to play more attacking & possession based football. The issue was though that he wasn't particularly effective at it.
I do think there is a re-education process going on. I am not sure it relates as directly to possession football or not. To me it's more about trying to set out to win, being willing to use young players and how to effectively utilise attacking players.
I know for some there is a desire to try and make it a Moyes V Martinez thing. I am not sure it's overly helpful. I think the common trend I see from the "agricultural" aspects of the fan base is an unrealistic expectation placed upon managers, and a desire to bin your manager at any given time when the next flavour of the month comes.
I think the idea that needs to be won with Everton fans is there is no point in sacking managers unless there is overwhelming evidence to prove necessary. Our wage spend/transfer spend is consistent with a side that finishes 10th yet throughout the Moyes and now Martinez era, both have been dogged by the idea we should be winning trophies and finishing in the top 4.
As a club to maximise our opportunities we need to give managers time to build their own squad and get them playing their own way before judging them. This should lead to progress, albeit uneven and not linear progress.
It is natural to want to learn and improve on a previous manager. I think for some there is a blind hate for Moyes now that clouds the judgement of what is good and bad about his regime. In short, I don't think Moyes's league finishes can or should be considered underachievement. His failure to win a trophy will rightly be considered under achievement and I do think Martinez is trying to address that. Likewise having Moyes for a long period was not a bad thing, the club as a whole benefitted. The same will be true of Martinez who like Moyes is a young manager trying to move the club beyond the constrains of what they inherited.
