David Moyes

[Shogun]

To give the full quote

David Moyes, speaking to EvertonTV, said " Look, we competed really well in the game and should have scored a couple of goals early on through Beto or Jack. Their goals were really poor. 2 set pieces. We've got to be defending a lot better. They're a top side and we showed some positive signs to compete but obviously the result isn't what it should be. And I must say if the likes of Lizz and TheRam moaned less about the stadium and just tucked into their blue doughnuts then the players would probably feel the pressure less but I guess some people would rather spend 90 minutes crying about 2 tiers instead."

Well he has got that wrong as well because I have not been moaning about the two tiers specifically.

Absolutely deaf as well as blind our Moyes.

Unfortunately as we have seen before moyes isn’t known for drastic changes I bet the team for Sunderland on Monday is the same as spurs

Interesting listening to Paddy Boyle on the Blue Room podcast, says we were very keen on Palhinha but obviously once Spurs came in we had no chance, which I'd already heard elsewhere around that time... but the main point was how we wanted him at least in part because of his height and physical dominance.

This is why we then looked at Soucek before going for Rohl.

As it stands, we have Gana, Garner, Grealish, KDH and Ndaiye where none are physically imposing or particularly tall.

This might explain why Moyes is persevering with Jake at RB as if we remove him then we lose one of the main set piece components both offensively and defensively.

I think the main takeaway though is that if we've bought Rohl because he's tall then hopefully that means we have every intention of him starting regularly once he's proven his fitness.

Whether that means Moyes would be comfortable removing Jake from RB if he have the extra height of Rohl in the team I'm not sure, I wouldn't be surprised if we see both playing because Moyes is more likely to go with that than not imo.

The lack of height would probably explain why we didn't look at KWP or Lamptey, plus wage demands were crazy for KWP at £125k a week.

I hope he does remove Jake from RB though as Moyes wanted all these attacking players to help us score more goals, but as we've all seen that isn't effective when the full backs are not able to contribute going forward or create space for the wide players to have more chance of making something happen.
