Interesting how the season has progressed. Many times during the first half of the season we have allowed the opposition to dominate possession for the first half of the game, showing more respect to the opposition than was deserved, leading to lost points at home. Since we reached sufficient points and presumably safety, we have been more aggressive from the start and the team seems to have more belief in themselves and has flourished especially yesterday.
I believe that Moyes is learning, not being afraid to lose and he and the team are beginning to realize that we have a core of some very good players and that we can attack well as well as defend.
Yes, we have positions that need addressing like striker and full-backs but continue to have the self-belief and the game tactics that we showed yesterday and we can get points from any team and Europe is within our reach.

Agree, it was nice to see the team pressing high up the pitch, putting the pressure on them, and it nearly paid off when Beto had a chance. Hopefully, this continues in all our remaining home games now.

He's just pragmatic, which has served us well since he arrived. No one wants the regular battle at the bottom. Will it ever win us something? Doubt it.
Much thanks to him, though, for steering us clear of the worry of relegation.

He won WHU a European title. He's pragmatic, but with a decent summer recruitment, I feel he could win us a cup next year.

Would like to see that, PHH.
Pickford alone deserves to win something with us.

If we lose our next two games, Moyes for the sack, & the players are s****. The joys of being an Evertonian. ?
We are two seasons & maybe four players away from a team that can challenge for the top five.
Moyes has brought stability, & his first priority was progress. I think we all agree he's ticked both boxes. Let's see how he's backed in the summer & judge him at the end of next season.

Feels to me like this game was a complete shift in attitude. We have been cautious all season, always fearful of being sucked into that relegation tussle in what is a very congested mid-table.
Moyes, for the first time I've heard this season, actually said we are now definitely targeting Europe, and we played like that.
When we went 1-0 up, we kept going for it and showed that we can push harder without leaving ourselves vulnerable at the back.
Gueye seems like a player reborn playing alongside Garner. He is so much intent on getting the ball forward, which seems like such a small change, but for me that's the change that affects everything.
