Moyes has liberated Everton from the Dyche straitjacket and is reaping the rewards

Richard Jolly writes: “[David Moyes] has had a transformative effect that has made a mockery of the suggestions Moyes is similar to Dyche. The Scot shares a pragmatic bent but shows a greater willingness to attack.

“’The players have just given themselves a bit of confidence and positivity,’ said Moyes, downplaying his own contribution.

“But he has liberated Everton from the Dyche straitjacket. Rampant and buoyant, they have been 3-0 up at half-time in consecutive games at Goodison. Given the context, the scorelines could feel surreal.”
