I'm honestly getting tired of watching the same thing every pre‑season and then pretending it'll magically change once the real games start.
Last night was just another reminder of what we've been stuck with under Moyes, the same old dinosaur tactics, the same slow build up, the same "keep it tight and hope for a moment" approach that's been holding us back for years.
You can see it all over here today and I agree with the majority of it. We look predictable, passive, and completely devoid of ideas. Modern football has moved on.
Teams press, rotate, attack with purpose, and use their squad properly. Meanwhile we're still watching rigid shapes, long hoof balls, and players being asked to do jobs that don't suit them.
We desperately need a new manager who comes in with a fresh approach. Someone who actually reshapes the squad, implements a modern style, and gets us on the front foot. I'm sick of watching us sit back and hope for scraps. We've got players who can play attacking football, but under Moyes they're shackled to a system that belongs in another era.
It's time for TFG to be brave. Thank Moyes for what he's done, but move on. Bring in a manager who isn't afraid to evolve, who actually uses tactics suited to today's game, and who gives us something to get excited about again. Right now, we're stuck, and last night proved it yet again.

Just to cheer you up, mate, have just been reading DM has no intention of leaving Everton for the Scottish job.

Moyes will be gone by Christmas, form and tactics will demand that decision to be made by TFG by then, that's for sure.

Great read that Os, I must say!
Moyes isn't going anywhere, let's face it. It is a shame, as there are still some very good managers out there that would jump at the chance to come and manage us and challenge themselves in the PL.
Christian Ilzer (Hoffenheim)
Claudio Giraldez (Celta Vigo)
Ole Werner (currently without a club, so no compo) .

I think we all know that, mate.

Claudio Giraldez is a great shout, Bn. I would also throw Inigo Perez (Villareal) into that list too.

I think his eyes have been elsewhere since winning AFCON. He knew damn well there would be huge interest following the trophy and his performances in that tournament. His heart has lost its shade of blue ever since! Best of luck for the future, thanks for claiming to love the club for 2 years, all the best.
imo.

Sorry, my reply above was meant for the Ndiaye post underneath.

I like him, OS, but Villarreal have only just got him from Vallecano, so I think it would be a non-starter, mate.
