• We all knew we'd miss him even though some found an argument yo suggest otherwise. What he gives you is an ability to hold possession, an intelligent football player that also drew so many fouls from opponents also. As much as I like Ndiaye, he's far too loose in possession at times and his ball retention and hold up play isn't as good as Jack's. Such a shame really that we get a stellar signing and he last half a season, you could say typical Everton....

• John@57. No the football isn't great, but no one can say we haven't progressed under Moyes, the evidence is Infront of your eyes. For what it's worth I think Moyes should go in the summer. He's done what he was brought in to do. Keep us up and steady the ship. It's time for new ideas with a modern coach....

• We did a full press,in numbers,for the first 15 minutes on Monday then dropped off. We did same for two periods in second half,Utd were at there worse when we pressed high collectively. Our biggest issue with pressing is we do it 2 v 3 or 3 v 4 the majority of the time. Always an out for the opposition. Press high or mid in numbers or don't do it at all....
  John Collins in Everton have a pressing problem
• Conor #2 Fully agree on the trust element. The way Grealish kept possession and kept the shape was so vital for Moyes. It should be noted Moyes was going to play Alcaraz LW on Monday until the injury on Sunday, but there is definitely a 'safety first' approach Moyes has and he values a player who has the discipline on the ball and off it. Grealish provides that, but then with that real touch of class in the final 3rd too....

• Gueye seems to be having more of a wandering role lately, whether that's by design or ill-discipline, we'll never know. Either way, if this is what we (Moyes) want from a player in that position, then Gueye isn't creative enough to be taking on this role. Rohl, Dewsbury-Hall or Armstrong would be far better taking on that role.Moyes wouldn't trust Rohl or Armstrong here due to their inexperience. But Dewsbury-Hall did play here in a recent game and I thought we looked far more in control going forward. If he did step into that role, then the question would be: Who would step into the Number 10 role? With Grealish injured, it makes it more difficult, but Rohl, Armstrong or Alcaraz (when fit) would do okay. Maybe even Ndiaye if Dibling decides he wants to put some effort in and get a game....

• We are 9th playing the worst football, or at least as bad, as any team in the Premier League, Paul. If we improved the football, the finishing position would be better.Are you advocating the football we are watching as better than flowing football? That the better Premier League position would be achieved by playing negative football?...
