Everton threw away a two-goal lead against Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon to draw the game at Goodison Park.
There were a number of poor performances, with Everton fans critical of Iliman Ndiaye, who has not got back to his best level since returning from injury.
Nathan Patterson put in another poor display and it now looks like his career on Merseyside is coming to an end.
It’s thought Patterson could return to Rangers this summer transfer window, with Kevin Thelwell becoming their new sporting director.
Speaking after the full-time whistle, David Moyes had a message for the frustrated Everton supporters.
David Moyes offers perspective to Everton fans after draw vs Ipswich Town
Everton were frustrated at the full-time whistle yesterday, having blown yet another opportunity to claim three points.
The Toffees have now won just one of their last 10 league games, but Moyes has offered perspective to Everton supporters in his post-match interview.
“We’re really disappointed, supporters will be disappointed as well that we didn’t win the game, but I think behind it, a bit like myself, there’s a bit where we are seeing signs, the disappointment would’ve been if we were going to be a relegated team and we’re not relegated team,” the Everton boss explained.
“We’re a team which has stayed up so we have a lot of plusses, the players have done really well, we’re just having a bit of a problem when we go 2-0 up here at the moment, some of the games we’re not able to keep it, so we to try and see what we can do better.”
Expectations will be much higher next season
There is a general acceptance among Everton fans that safety this season is par for the course, but that won’t be good enough next year.
With the Friedkin Group set to back Moyes with a healthy budget this summer, expectations will be much higher.
James Garner thinks the Toffees should finish in the top 10, whilst there has been some chatter about a European push.
So Moyes has a lot to solve ahead of the new campaign, with a number of positions which badly need addressing.
