Not so sure after watching them against Spurs. It is only one game and it was Spurs, but Everton started very much on front foot and stayed there for first half. What was encouraging was that they conceded twice, which is unusual. We have good record against Moyes, and I don't think he will park bus, in which case could be entertaining.

Apart from maybe Liverpool,city and spurs NO team in this league will try and go on the front foot against us at the amex. Which is one of the reasons I've gone off going to home games recently!

Almost guaranteed they will sit back and try and hit us on the break.

I doubt there is any substance or history to back this up but I just feel that a Moyes Everton team will be less of a banana skin than any team managed by Dyche. His influencing of refs and his players blatant and relentless use of the dark arts contrasts to a slightly more honest Moyes approach that will allow the better team to emerge as victors.

To welcome Pigford, may I suggest that those behind the goal pull their elbows into their outer layer leaving their hands out of the holes to wave to him? I think he'd like that.

Is there a rational reason why they sacked Dyche for Moyes btw? Not followed it closely.

Its clearly not some sort of football visionary move towards a more progressive Everton so its a little difficult to understand why they changed.

Yeah, they were one point off the relegation places and Dyche consistently set up to try and draw, and not to attack. He’s a dreadful manager.

It’s pretty obvious if you watched the likes of West Ham under Moyes that he is a far better manager. He took them from fighting relegation to being much higher up, they mainly fell back a bit when they were in Europe, like many teams. Of course he won the Europa Conference league as well, you don’t manage that if you are shit.

The funny thing is, Moyes hardly ever beats us does he? Once for West Ham, and I think that's it. Dyche though has the upper hand over us, and it isn't close.

I'd be tempted to say the Conference League win flatters Moyes, but then you have to remember they qualified for it by finishing 7th or 8th or whatever, so you've got to be a fairly decent manager to get a club like West Ham that far up the table. (They're not the worst run club at board level, but they're not Benham/Bloom-esque geniuses or even Arsenal levels of competence either.)

Think they've both proved to be good managers. But yes, Moyes might be a level above. Achieved a lot in most of his jobs.
