DAVID MOYES REMAINS POSITIVE DESPITE EVERTON’S RECENT SETBACKS
Everton’s recent performances under David Moyes have been a significant improvement from their earlier struggles this season. Despite dropping points in their last two games against Manchester United and Brentford, Moyes remains optimistic about his team’s progress.
Speaking from the team’s training camp in Abu Dhabi, Moyes assessed his start to life back at Everton, highlighting the positives despite the recent setbacks. “I think there’s a lot of things we’re doing well. I think that the big thing for me, which it doesn’t sound good what I’m going to say, we’re missing a lot of chances, as well,” Moyes said.
Moyes’ point about missing chances is a valid one, as evidenced by Beto’s uncharacteristic performance against Brentford. However, the fact that Everton are creating scoring opportunities is a significant improvement from earlier in the season.
Moyes’ impact on the team has been evident, with players like Beto and Jack Harrison impressing in training. The Scottish manager’s ability to get the best out of his players has been a key factor in Everton’s resurgence.
Beto, in particular, has been a revelation under Moyes, scoring five goals in eight appearances. His improvement has been a significant factor in Everton’s recent upturn in form.
Moyes’ emphasis on providing service to the striker has also been a key factor in Everton’s improvement. Under Sean Dyche, the team’s attacking play was often criticized for being too direct and lacking in creativity. However, under Moyes, Everton have shown a more nuanced approach, with a greater emphasis on creating scoring opportunities through clever movement and passing.
While Everton’s recent setbacks may have been disappointing, Moyes remains positive about his team’s prospects. With the team currently 15 points clear of the relegation zone, Premier League safety appears all but assured. As Everton look to build on their recent improvement, Moyes will be hoping to guide his team to a strong finish to the season.
