A best XI of the Moyes era(s)

A best XI of the Moyes era(s) Last week, Everton’s official social media account posted on X , asking fans to share their best XIs from across David Moyes’ time in charge, which, of course, spans two stints at the helm. This drew plenty of interest and many fans, including this one, began to have a think about which players would make the cut. With the international break now over, and focus switching back to the Premier League and Everton’s push for Europe, then before we delve fully into previewing what is to come, I thought I’d have a go at naming the all-time Moyes, Everton XI.

Agree? Disagree? I’d love to know in the comments.

GK: JORDAN PICKFORD Nigel Martyn was fantastic for Everton, playing a crucial role in the fourth-place finish in 2004-05, while Tim Howard was also a classic Moyes signing, coming in off the back of a tough stint at Manchester United to become a stalwart for the Toffees. But Pickford has to get the nod here. He is arguably the best goalkeeper in the Premier League right now, and has probably made four or five save of the season contenders this term alone.

RB: SEAMUS COLEMAN Cheating a tad here, as Coleman was not actually always used as first-choice right-back by Moyes until the 2012-13 campaign — the final season of the Scot’s first stint in charge. But as a modern-day club great, there’s just no way I could leave Coleman out. The one thing missing from his career is a trophy, but there can hardly be blame attached to him for that.
