In terms of Rayan do you honestly believe they are currently equal because Tyrique might develop but Rayan has been ahead of him since he was a junior and we got Tyrique as a loan while Bournemouth paud £40 million just look at their careers in their short careers so far
In terms of using players is there anyone we should be using for 20 plus minutes every game?
Rohl joined with a hernia issue and has needed time to get up to premier league speed I like him but probably for an extra 5 or 10 minutes here and there and our lack of quality up front has meant we haven’t had games where we are 3 up with 10 minutes to play.
Alcaraz can sometimes look quality but then other times is do sloppy so can be hard to trust for later in games.
Dibbling I saw him in the league cu last season and he looked good excellent do understand why we bought him but I don’t see him day to day and so far he has been far to inclined to just lay off simple passes rather than challenge defenders.
That’s my difference of opinion

If you dont believe Moyes is open for change, I'd like you to give me examples of how because all I can see is a manager who is all about caution and conservatism.
In my opinion Rayan at Bournemouth is no better or worse a player than Tyrique George. But if Moyes was his manager he would be spend most of his time on the bench.
I agree it will take more than two summer windows to have us competitive but given Moyes has barely used most of the players signed in the first transfer window what is the point in giving him another if he is unwilling to play the players we sign? Previous Message
That’s just my opinion and it could be right and it could be wrong but the leopard not changing spots and when others say about being a dinosaur is quite frankly bollocks.
I would say we have a comparable starting 11 but not the depth of Bournemouth particularly up front, we saw it when we played them at hill Dickinson when they could throw on a couple of different strikers but we have been severely limited since the Grealish injury. We basically have KDH as the one regular upgrade this season and until we upgrade with proper straight into the 11 at full back and up front then it’s a weaker squad than Bournemouth even though it will ultimately come down to a few late goals conceded as the difference.
His remit was to build a team and tge CEO said it would take a least 2 summer windows so I’m looking for the upgrades where I have said and for our current centre halves to become squad players rather than guaranteed starters. Previous Message
It would be very sad if Moyes left us on a sour note after all he has done for us but at the same time if we keep him on any longer we will just get more of the same. Moyes is not a dinasaur but he is very much the leopard that will never change his spots.
Bournemouth have a better squad because they have outspent us
In my opinion we have man for man a better squad of players than Bournemouth. However Bournemouth might be in the Champions League next year because they have manager who goes into every game believing he can win whereas we have a manger who on too many occasions has gone out to just get a point.
I dont know whether Moyes will be let go at the end of the month but I definitely wouldn't give him a new contract. His remit when he came back was to get us out of relegation trouble and transition the team from Goodison to HD. He has achieved both in spades and I thank him for it. Moyes was meant to be a bridge and nothing more.
The Friedkin era will not begin in earnest until they bring in their own man who is in line with their vision.
