@D_L1997@rlfansSaddened@johnlew13 Why would you have wanted to make Saints better for longer (if there was more than 10 minutes left). Be better playing a 47 year old FuiFui MoiMoi than Klemmer. Best team won by a mile, hope you enjoyed it Drew 🫡
After the resounding 3-0 win against Chelsea in late March, Everton had registered 46 points from 31 games. David Moyes’ side would have only needed eight points from their final seven matches to achieve qualification for the Europa League and possibly seven (depending on goal difference) for the Conference League.
Had they kept pace with their points-per-game total (1.48) up to that point, a place in Europe would have been theirs. But instead they took a meagre three (at 0.43 ppg), conceding a series of debilitating late goals and faltering at just the wrong moment.
There will be much focus on Moyes’ future, with the Scot heading into the final year of his deal this summer. All the indications so far suggest that The Friedkin Group admires the job the 63-year-old has done until now and believes him to be a steadying influence.
The main focus from TFG has been on incremental growth over time, with the club having budgeted for a 12th-placed finish.

I’m a fan of Moyes.. at times, I do feel we’ve made progress… lots of positives in the first 2/3’s of the season… but we’ve absolutely papped it since we beat Chelsea. A few questionable decisions in those games but overall we’ve not looked at it at all.
@SilversRef Have you seen how many Wigan Academy players are in the Super League & Championship… the club invests heavily and creates a talent not only Wigan benefit from… it buys them a bit of slack in this circumstance imo.
@19jackdavies96 Some shocking calls in there… Biased I know but how Garner hasn’t made it after this season… where he’s also played left and right back when Henderson & Mainoo who’s only played the last half of the season… Cole Palmer might not have consistently hit the heights but a 26 squad
@19jackdavies96 From previous seasons, this has been a breeze… should we demand more 100%, expect more… not so sure… Moyes has definitely earned another year imo…
