• I'm saying it Paul. He's out Dyched Dyche imo. Same negative approach from both,Moyes is better at it. I've been a season ticket holder for over 40 years,i have give my ticket away more than ive been to the game this season,i cant watch what is being served up. I agree he was the choice last season,i knew as soon as he came in we would not be relegated. I would hope we change him end of the season. ...
  John Collins in Jarrad Branthwaite blames “lapse in concentration” for loss against Manchester United
• Slightly off topic, mainly because I can't figure out how to start my own thread. But yes I agree - time to move on from Gueye. Which brings me neatly to my main point... I've sadly come to the realization that Moyes is not the man to take us on to the next level. He was a breath of fresh air after Dyche, saved us last season, and has got us nearly to safety this season. However, he is way too loyal to old warhorses like Gueye, Tarkowski, Keane. But that's just part of his problem. He persists in playing players out of position. Admittedly we have at best a squad of average quality with one or two standout players. Why, then does Moyes think the way to get the best out of average players is to play them out of position. Branthwaite is not a left back, nor is O'Brien a right back, and Harrison is in no way a left wing. During the dark winter days with AFCON and injuries I could understand it to some extent. But with a full squad surely the best performance will be achieved by...
  John Ballinger in Why it's time for Everton to move on from Idrissa Gana Gueye
• 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....
  Jim Bennings in Everton are badly missing Jack Grealish
• 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....
  Paul Hewitt in Jarrad Branthwaite blames “lapse in concentration” for loss against Manchester United
• 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....
