For several seasons, Everton has drawn the tongue in the Premier League. Subscribers to the second part of the season since the 2019-2020 vintage, the Toffees have even approached the relegation on two of the last three editions by finishing respectively in the 16th and 17th place during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons. During the last edition, the Mersey club had lost six points, which had hampered their still slow season with a difficult fifteenth. Inevitably, the supporters of the Liverpool club expected the worst and the start of the calamitous season of the men of Sean Dyche confirmed their fears.
With a less talented workforce than most training from across the Channel, Everton was bad for several months. Thus, the residents of Goodison Park were close to the relegation area throughout this season. A permanent downgrading that cost Sean Dyche. To replace it, Everton therefore called on David Moyes. Former club coach between 2002 and 2013, the 61 -year -old coach returned to take out the club that revealed him from his current petrin. A choice which, for the moment, turns out to be more than paying for the Tofets with very good results during its first six matches.
Four wins and a draw against Liverpool in five first league games
Despite an entry defeat against Aston Villa (0-1), the players in Blue then chained with three consecutive victories in the championship. After giving up against Tottenham by going to win at home (2-3), the Toffees then confirmed by offering the scalp of Brighton and Leicester. Nine points taken which allowed Everton to jump in the standings and move away from a threatening red zone. Starts with fanfare for David Moyes who even chained with other good results like a draw snatched during the Mersey derby against Liverpool (2-2) then a new success on the lawn of Crystal Palace a few days later (1 -2). An excellent dynamic that even an elimination in FA Cup against Bournemouth did not come to hinder. Inevitably, this canon departure has something to delight. Besides the supporters who regain pleasure, this return to the foreground necessarily makes David Moyes happy, arrived more than a month ago:
“It seems simple to say that two more victories and you could cross the finish line. When you sit in this place, each first league victory is really, really difficult. I do not consider anything as acquired. We had a very good series and we have to try to continue it. When you take charge of a team a little before the start of the season, you need to find a way to get the best results. Whatever we asked the players, they were fantastic. We play much better and we have been doing much better for a few matches. ” From then on, Everton wants to chain. It will start this Saturday (1:30 p.m.) with the reception of a sick manchester and which seems more than affordable given its current bad pass. Faced with his former club, David Moyes will necessarily want to find the ingredients to lead his flock to victory. Especially since a new success could allow the teammates of Jordan Pickford to take four points ahead of the Red Devils in the ranking.
