David Moyes’ points per game record now compared to first Everton spell

Add as preferred source on Google

There is a growing section of the Everton fanbase who want to see David Moyes moved on.

Everton have failed to capitalise on a brilliant chance to qualify for Europe, and many feel it’s due to David Moyes’ stubbornness.

Moyes has used the fewest number of substitutions in the Premier League, as he’s placed most of his trust in the old guard.

Many of the summer recruits and younger players have been left sitting on the bench, so clearly the Scotsman is failing to take this team forward.

What would you say to Angus Kinnear after THAT loss to Sunderland? 😤

Something has to change… 😭

With that said, we decided to have a look at Moyes’ points per game record now compared to his first spell at the club to get a sense of how he’s performing overall.

Everton’s points per game record is poor under David Moyes

Moyes was given Everton’s biggest ever transfer budget last summer, with a record net spend of £97m (based on initial fees).

So, many expected the Toffees to make massive progress from the 48 points they finished on last season.

However, they’re currently sat on 49 points heading into the last game of the campaign, and Moyes’ points per game record during his second spell evinces the fact that he’s not the same manager he used to be.

Moyes current spell (2025-2026)601.38

The 63-year-old averages 1.38 points per game, which is worse than his second spell at West Ham United.

It’s harsh to say, but Moyes is clearly in a managerial decline, and it somewhat feels like he’s not adapted to the modern game.

What on earth has happened to Iliman Ndiaye?! 😫

There’s no doubt he’s good enough to be a Premier League manager, but is he good enough to be a great Premier League manager that’s capable of guiding his team into Europe?

This season has shown that he’s behind the likes of Fabian Hurzeler, Andoni Iraola and Keith Andrews.
