milky71 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 imo he has he has always had problems tactically,his use of subs is awful and his transfer dealings are slightly suspect. I think he has done a very good job for us and will continue to do a good job but i want someone who can do a great job and bring us a trophy.

Romey 1878 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 His transfer dealings are mostly sound, the other two I agree with. He probably has taken us far as he can, but without serious investment then it's the same story for any one else as well. If we got that investment then Moyes would deserve the chance to show whether he's taken us far as he can or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlmc25 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 we're all fed up with last night's crapfest but let's be fair, he's been absolutely brilliant for us. Our cup form is NOT good enough, Moyes seriously needs to address this but in the league, I very much doubt there is another manager out there who could have achieved what Moyes has at Everton. He has worked miracles in the league, he has done brilliantly in the transfer market and he is building an excellent team, that when fit, can play fantastic football. We had a shocker last night and substitution wise he is suspect but let's not get carried away, if we replaced Moyes with anyone else I'd be seriously concerned about our future.

mcirony Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 i thought his substitution choices were pretty sound against Man Utd, and when we knocked Liverpool out of the FA cup last year!Speaking of which, we can't really lambast Moyes for being quetionable in the cup when we got to the FA cup final last year, and the Carling Cup semi the year previously. Last nights performance was a shocker, and lets hope it was a one off, but saying moyes as taken us as far as he can is ridiculous. Where would be in the league had we have had a full squad available to us at the start of the season?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we beat anyone decent to reach the semi? Last year we beat the Man Utd youth team on penalties, and true we beat Liverpool. Apart from that, our cup form under Moyes has been pretty disastrous considering the players we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky71 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 lets be straight. Im not saying moyes is bad but after 8 years he still seems to make the same mistakes,especially away in europe. the romainian gypsies and fiorentina can be added to our pitiful showing last night and when you arsenal birmingham in the cup burnley away hull away to the list this season has been awful injuries or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I think the performance against Man U and Chelsea prove Moyes hasnt taken us as far as he can. The problem is that he doesnt seem to have a plan B. When things arent going according to plan he makes some really suspicious calls and most of them are way too late to have any real effect. Gradually his substitutions have improved as now they are more attacking but he really needs to make more definitive calls. Do you think a manager like Mourinho/Ferguson would have left Billy on for that long? I seriously doubt it. Having said that I feel a part of the problem yesterday was the players. You could see him yelling at player to push up and get into their faces more but no-one stood up and took responsibility. Yes Moyes started too defensively and deep(like he has in all Euro games IMO) and he should have made sure someone stayed up top with Saha (oh and Osman man marking Moutinho everywhere). They were his fault. However the shocking defending, the inability to follow his shouts and the nature in which some of the players in this game was not his fault. No-one lead the team on the pitch (except maybe Jags when he came on) and it doesnt matter how good you are as a manager if your biggest players dont stand up and be counted in crunch games.

Blue 250 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Moyes can still do better, and do better with us.The draw at Arsenal, the Chelsea and Man Utd game are fairly good pointers.Last night was terrible, but to be fair Donovan and Bily didn't turn up Arteta was only just about there.....that's three players in the midfield who weren't up to a team intent on winning, our defence was weakened and midfield just them them straight through......Moyes fault, only partially....has he taken us as far as he can.....no!

thescore Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 David Moyes is one of the best managers in the EPL. I think some fans think this is the matrix David Moyes becomes manager of Everton lets load him up with every tactic that's going. He's only 47 for god sake give the man a chance he is still inexperienced when you compare him with sir Alex or Arsene Wenger and how old are they.

Wall Writer Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Don't really think it's worth adding to this thread but I feel I've got to give my two-penneth. This sums it up for me: ok who would you bring in Mark Hughes? Sven Goran Erikson? Avram Grant might be out of a job by the end of the season? I don't think Tony Adams has found a new job yet? Then there's Paul Ince who I'm sure would like another crack at the premiership. But wait none of these are better than Moyes, so lets create a list of Managers who are better than Moyes, well ok there are quite a few - Mourinho, Guardiola, Hiddink - Hmm, realistic!? not sure. Ok, so we need to narrow down the criteria: Managers who are better than Moyes, who we can afford to pay, and who can operate on tight transfer budgets. Honestly, I don't know who you would put on that list. I can agree somewhat, that Moyes may have taken us as far as he can, but there's two things that you need to keep in mind - First, the glass ceiling outside the top four, which over the passed few seasons we've reached, and tapped on, and even fractured a little, something no other team, yet this century has managed to do. Secondly, the fact that we don't really have any money, and unless anyone wants us to end up like Pompy (on the brink of oblivion), I seriously hope we stay wisely within our means. Moyes is by no means the best manager in the league, but we'll be hard pressed to find someone who can match him. To return to the question, "Has Moyes taken us as far as he can?" - in my opinion, maybe, at this moment in time. Who is it then that can take us further, well the answer to that is, as we all know, not 'who' but'what' - Investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holystove Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 The only manager I'd rather have is Wenger. Other than him, Moyes is number one. Most teams would kill to have Moyes run their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaminfox Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I cant believe you guys are going against moyes. He has broken the top four, got us from relegation favorites to european regulars, and has done all this with limited fund. He has been fantastic in the league but the only thing that he needs to work on is cup competitions. Yesterday he was the greatest manager and everyone was chanting his name but now some of you think he should be sacked. Disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Moyes has not taken us as far as he can. He has taken us as far as ANYONE can. At least at the moment. That said, his tactics in Europe may need looking at. The display against Lisbon was poor, very poor. We all know we are better than that. Bily was pretty poor in the game and perhaps should not have been in the starting lineup. But who else could have been in from the kick off? We do seem to have a lot of problems, but unfortunately not a lot of answers. Realistically we need more and better players, and to get them we need more money. Even with that in mind we must look at the financial situation of other clubs. Most of them are in debt to a greater or lesser extent than ourselves, and yet we are still doing ok. I still can't see any reason to get rid of Moyes, but perhaps we could bring someone in to help in some way, especially in planning the European games. Not sure it is too feasible to do this, but we need to try something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound like a bad idea in theory, not sure how or if it would work, but bringing in someone with a bit of European experience as I kind of 'consultant' could work, (as I say in theory).

Hafnia Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Moyes has been a great manager in the fact he has given us stability without being majorly funded. How many managers would achieve what he has done with the funding he has. He is praised readily and criticised readily, which I don't subscribe to. One day he will be a top class manager, and yes that means that he does make mistakes and will continue to do so, he is a defensive manager which many seem to be frustrated with, I think he is learning all the time. Has Moyes taken us as far as we can go? You need to look higher up the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUPPET! Cahill, Piennar, Arteta, Jags, Johnny H, Howard,Lescott,Baines,Donovan all signed for next to nothing and all now established top Premiership players I dont think his signings are suspect at all. No manager in the history of the game has got every signing right and I think its fair to say Moysie gets the vast majority of his spot on There is a reason why Moyse has been voted the LMAs Manager of the Year 3 times so put the glue down and give him a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
