• Is he good going foward though ? If he was, you could forgive his defensive frailty. He's never, in my opinion showed enough to say " give him the starting spot " Not enough going forward and definitely doesn't make up for tha defensively, He's been unlucky with injuries, but he's never in my opinion had a great game. ...

• It’s been a long time Rob, which makes me want to ask you why did you ask me that question Rob, when you will have already known the answer? After reading what Philip said, I was just giving my opinion about why I think Moyes’s teams often finish the season strongly, because this is something I think we grew accustomed to during his last stint whilst in charge of Everton? No mention of any other manager, and it didn’t take long for someone to just jump on the defensive bandwagon and start deflecting away from the jist of this thread, which is about Everton reclaiming an identity....
  Tony Abrahams in David Moyes, Everton and Identity - Why it Matters
• We should just sit back City should just be glad to get Jack off the wage bill and terminate his contract obviously having to pay him a percentage of his outstanding wage Then it’s up to Jack and his team to either get the best financial package they can, or, get the best for him football wise as he approaches the last few years of his career. From what I see and read I think the lad will put money second to happiness and playing - hopefully with us!...

• A team is greater than the sum of its parts! No more evident than that Chelsea game, and to an extent the Arsenal game. Where this "Team" out performed its individual parts against sides that should, if playing as a team, had the ability to beat us, easily if their market values were an indication of how a team should perform. It's not though is it ? That's where Moyes has achieved alot, he's brought players together, building a spirit and work ethic that the players can see working with results. I'd say that's the hallmark of a good manager. Some want instant success, gamble for the win, "take the shackles off " I honestly think we'd have lost many more points. Our strength is our ability to come together, to work together, as a team, defend as a team, and when we go foward we can hurt teams. The players now look like the are relishing that side of the game, because it's brought results. I watched a pod cast with Tim Howard, Donovan & Mcbride on...

• Tony, when exactly have we strongly performed in the cups over the past several years?...
  Rob Jones in David Moyes, Everton and Identity - Why it Matters
• With his team usually out of the cups, and back to playing just once a week, whilst also getting the odd weekend off, is something I believe has usually helped contribute towards David Moyes teams finishing the season strongly, so in many ways you could argue that he his just giving us back the identity we lost in 2013? With seven games to go then he could qualify for the champions league and achieve something remarkable but even just qualifying for the lowest European competition, would be a fantastic achievement. I was arguing with someone today, they were telling me they really like Moyes, and whilst I could understand his reasoning, I’m sure I gave him a little bit of food for thought, when I gave him my opinion about where I thought he could improve, and help give us back an identity that we all crave....
