• Kevin, Dyche’s pragmatism was doing exactly the same thing until he lost his head, imo, and that eleven players out, isn’t doing much for your argument, mate. The defence, was what it has been for most of the season, and when you add Barry, Garner, Grealish and Irobumen, plus Pickford, then it actually wasn’t that many players short of the team that started on the opening day of the season, against Brighton. No Gueye, no N’Diaye and no KDH, and no pro active subs, when a few of our players began to tire....

• Flair players required to go with the industry imo. Rapid pace in the wide areas also. Too much square and backwards passing in a possession obsessed modern game,rapidly falling out of love with football in general tbh. Listened to an interview with Henrick Larrson,interviewer asked him had he watched any decent games recently, " I don't watch football anymore its boring,there are no dribblers,nobody tries to beat a man" ...

• Just watched those bloody Pens again on MOTD! Garner gets a pass but my GOD, Beto and Barry’s get worse with every viewing. A very weakened squad and team still had the chance to progress and await reinforcements for the next round but those two blew it. Neither should play for us again in my opinion. Neil Cremin @ 248 - specky bloke in a massive blue beanie/bobble. Was that you??...
  Mark Murphy in Absolutely criminal penalty shoot-out from Everton
• a draw against a PL side and finishing with eleven out is not nothing. this is what I don't get Tony, we've spent over a decade chasing this dream of progressive football, and have mostly been fighting relegation, and spent half a billion. Moyes turns up with his pragmatism, gets us ten places up the table, and gives us a midfield of KDH Gtrealish A revitalised Garner to add to Ndiaye, and the vibe is ' a leopard doesn't change his spots'. And this is after he's been here barely a year. And people are wanting to get rid, and put Silva or Glasner, or well anyone, as long as it's not Moyes. I find the whole thing bewildering. At the very least surely knowing him as we do, it makes sense to hold him for a couple of years to at least consolidate the club, get us among the euro spots again. Did I see someone saying they'd have Lampard back in a flash? I don't get it. ...

• Bill #6, it's unlikely that any manager would not want to spend money to cover the glaringly obvious gaps he has in his first team. Any non-activity in adressing those gaps is down to t'committee he has to report to....
  Eric Myles in A Year of Moyes Mark II, but is it stagnating?
• Give and go football, is all about coaching imo, John, and in all the years of watching Everton, under Moyes, I have a feeling that this type of football, has never really been on the agenda? Baines & Pienaar, obviously, but other than Osman or Arteta, playing a quick one-two, it’s not the type of football that I have ever really associated with a David Moyes team? That’s not to say that his teams have never played good football, but I’ve always thought it has usually been more about the discipline and the grind?...
