Everton’s decision to change managers midway through the season is working out a lot better than Manchester United’s
By Ben McAleer for WhoScored
They say never go back to an old love, but look at David Moyes. Everton have picked up 13 points in his six games in charge. Only Liverpool, with 14, have more. Considering Everton’s form when Moyes was given the job – they were 16th in the Premier League, a point above the relegation zone – it’s a reunion that has gone according to plan.
Everton are now looking up rather than down the table. They have won 2.17 points per game under Moyes, up from a pitiful 0.89. Sean Dyche won three of his 19 games in charge this season, a total Moyes has already surpassed in six matches, having watched his team beat Tottenham, Brighton, Leicester and Crystal Palace.
