Did you notice, against Wolves, players were switching positions, Grealish and Ndiaye? We now have a squad that can do this. But Moyes is a stickler for players doing a specific job. This team we have now doesn't seem to be his type. I wonder who is behind the switch of tactics.
With the injuries we have in defence, let's hope our attacking play can keep the defence protected. Exiting times.

Touch of Fellaini about him…

Here's hoping!
Willkommen Merlin me ol' sausage.

There was little point in a manager asking inferior players to switch positions when they have their work cut out trying to be effective in one position.

Perhaps just accept he's giving it a good go, in likely his last big club job.

Probably the most understated but incisive post I've ever read on ToffeeWeb.

Very pleased we are able to include such creativity at last.

Andrew, I wonder if they were told to switch? There is a video of Dibling scoring three identical goals running at the defence through the middle in the same match.
The lad we bought for left-back, Aznou, can play in different positions and also has excellent ball skills. We seem to now have a team of jugglers and a magician. Where are the clowns? Don't worry, they're gone.

They run the league!

No clowns, I hate clowns. I remember my dad took me to a circus, full of clowns. I ran out the place screaming, my dad was very worried about me, I was 21 at the time.

Are you sure that wasn't your first Everton match? Would explain a lot.

Thanks for making me laugh.

Against Mansfield, Jack had some freedom to roam, and by the Wolves game, this seemed to be developing further.
Add Dewsbury-Hall and Dibling into this mix and we have several players with enough talent to test opposition and entertain us.
It will be a test to get the balance right though, but the early signs are very promising.
Not the old school Davey Moyes, is it...?

I have it on good authority that he's listening to the ball boy just outside the dugout.

Be interesting to see when he gets his chance, after yet ANOTHER International Break !
22 Posted 04/09/2025 at 21:05:29
I'd have no objection to that. Fellaini was a clumsy looking player but had really good close control, liked a tackle, brilliant in the air, and could play anywhere. He made a big mistake in going to Man Utd and becoming the latest in a long line of scapegoats but, that said, he didn't really suit how Roberto wanted to play.
I think we have missed that type of player and hope Merlin can be just that.

Röhl looks a likely lad… let's hope he is.
