Sorry Moyes haters. He comes a Moyes loving post.
Since his return:
1.54 points per game ave.
1.53 Ancelotti.
1.50 Moyes, 1st time.
77 points, only 5 teams have more.
11 points more than last season.
16 clean sheets, only City, Arsenal and Palace have more.
The stats are clear to see our progress. But let's not that get in the way of moaning we don't play like Real Madrid.
We're not City or Arsenal or top 4, yet, and we might not, but how many teams are? Look at Spurs, Man Utd have been way off, Chelsea will struggle this year.
We are making good solid progress, a possibility of Europe and with good recruitment in the summer who knows.
I for one hope we give Moyes at least a 2yr extension and see what happens.
{Ed025's Note - i must admit he has done a lot better than i expected BB, iwould not be opposed to a small extension mate and see how it goes..

Yep, short extension rather than a big long contract. Sensible given whoever is manager, as things change quickly.
This is a manager who gets Everton, is Everton, and wants what is best for Everton.

Moyes is doing well at the moment. I was against him coming back, and, given the way we wimped out of both cup competitions and our awful home form, I thought this was only going to go one way. However, recent games have given me more hope that a slight change in tactics, ie not sitting back at home but pressing the opposition instead, has made it a lot more enjoyable to watch now.
Still not happy with the way he uses substitutes (this is not an eleven man game anymore) . Can only hope we finish the season strong now, as where we finish will determine whether we have had a good season or not. If we do miss out on European football, then that will be down to our early season form, which was poor. Oh, and Man Utd are in Champions League position at the moment. I would take that.

Didn't wimp out of the FA Cup. Sunderland at the time were a team in form and playing well. Went to penalties and the BB's decided to play silly buggars. Even Garner missed.

Man Utd are currently in top 4 yeah. But very well documented recent team struggles over the last few seasons, for a club that was almost guaranteed CL football.

Another good summer window and we can kick on again. If we had a decent striker we'd be in the Champions League places this season.
27 Mar 2026 16:27:15
We did wimp out of the cup, played negative football, and only livened up when we made subs. Sunderland were there for the taking, and we didn't bother. Stop trying to make excuses for what was a very poor performance.
Their top four, that's all you need to know.

He's done a great job, but there have been times we have been left wondering "what if." with Moyes. He rightly deserves another season as a minimum, but I hope he buys some decent players, gives the youth some game time, comes up with a plan B, and stops playing players out of position.
This year's league has been so open, we could well have been even higher if we hadn't bottled some of the games you'd have hoped we would win or at least get a point, only to end up losing them.

Watched the game, Brass, that is all I know. Both sides were quiet until the goal. Second half, we were the better side. I don't make excuses, just report what I see, not an expert like some, I do admit.
