“FARKE SACK?”- David Moyes to face Everton sack if tactical change isn’t made after Newcastle defeat

Everton’s 4–1 loss to Newcastle on Saturday has raised serious concerns over David Moyes’ tactical decisions.

The Toffees put in a dreadful performance at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the contest effectively decided before the break.

Only a handful of players showed any real quality, with most failing to reach the standards expected.

It was a stark contrast to Monday’s impressive 1–0 win over Manchester United — a result that exceeded expectations and lifted spirits among supporters.

Yet Everton’s collapse against the Magpies appears to stem from a key tactical mistake made by Moyes involving Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Moyes deployed Dewsbury-Hall too high up the pitch

Against Manchester United, Dewsbury-Hall was outstanding.
He controlled the midfield and delivered the decisive goal that earned Everton a famous victory.

A big part of his influence came after Idrissa Gueye’s red card, when Moyes shifted him into a deeper midfield role — a move that worked brilliantly.

However, against Newcastle, the manager pushed Dewsbury-Hall further forward into an attacking midfield position. That decision allowed the Magpies to take control of the midfield battle and left the Englishman isolated.

Despite scoring a consolation goal, the 27-year-old recorded just 54 touches — the lowest of any outfield player who completed 90 minutes, according to Fotmob on 30 November.

This tactical misstep was a major contributor to Everton’s defeat, and Moyes has only himself to blame.

Serious questions should be asked of the manager, as his strategic calls have repeatedly cost Everton this season.
If Dewsbury-Hall is not returned to a deeper role, Moyes may soon find himself in danger of losing his job.

Moyes points to Everton’s challenging schedule

To be fair, Everton have faced a brutal stretch of fixtures recently.
Before the international break, they played Manchester City, Tottenham and then travelled to an in-form Sunderland before finally beating Fulham.

With Bournemouth up next on Tuesday, Moyes is determined to get his side back on track.
Speaking to BBC Sport on 29 November, he said:
“This has been a difficult run of fixtures for us — we were away at Man United, Newcastle at home, Bournemouth away — so the job was to make sure we picked up points.

“We’ve managed that in one of the matches, but not tonight. The aim is to do so on Tuesday.”
