IN the past week or so I’ve heard some people expressing doubts over David Moyes and whether he has taken Everton as far as he can.

The problem is, these people know very little about the club, the manager or indeed football in general.

He has had a bad start. He hasn’t suddenly become a bad manager and his players haven’t suddenly become bad players.

I’m not saying that Moyes doesn’t have his problems and that he needs to sort them out.

He needs to find a way of getting goals because at the moment his team just can’t buy one.

And although most Evertonians surely know that their club will be fine this season, at the start of the season they wanted more than that.

Looking at the squad, they would have envisaged Everton flying right from the start, not being stuck at the bottom after six games.

But that’s the key statistic right there. Six games. There’s still 32 to go.

Problem is, the hype and overkill that comes with the Premier League these days means that everything is good or bad, there’s no in between.

So Everton get labelled a bad side following a winless start to the campaign and an embarrassing loss to Brentford in the Carling Cup.
