I agree watching Everton under Moyes is far from entertaining most of the time. However, we got to remember the team he took over last year and how bad we were then. You can only play entertaining attacking football if you have the players to do that and I think Moyes realised he has poor full backs and poor strikers so to win matches you have to be good defensively.
We have only conceded 34 league goals which is one less than Chelsea and Villa. City have conceded 27. We have scored 34 goals which is only two more than Burnley and one less than West Ham.

In my opinion....
