If Sean Dyche needed half a season to accomplish it, David Moyes has achieved as much in half a month. Everton sacked a manager with three wins in 19 Premier League games. His replacement has doubled that tally in their last three matches.
Everton scored seven league goals in open play in four months under Dyche. They have delivered seven more in their last two home matches for Moyes. A heady couple of weeks has left Everton 10 points above the bottom three. “I wish I was 10 points clear at the top of the league,” smiled the Scot. But if the returning manager placed his legacy on the line by coming back, he again looks like Everton’s Moyesiah.
