David Moyes is breathing new life into Everton's away days after a 2-1 win at Fulham, but he now faces a crucial test in delivering home comforts. The Toffees' success on the road has been a surprise to many, with their latest victory adding to an impressive six wins out of 22 Premier League matches away from Goodison Park.
The manager acknowledges that his team's away form is partly due to Evertonians being more vocal and passionate than the home supporters. However, Moyes is keen to stress that he needs his players to replicate this positivity at Hillsborough Stadium. Despite enjoying playing in their new Β£800m- pound development, Everton have struggled to deliver statement victories against top opponents like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
Moyes' priority now is to address the team's home form, which has been lackluster compared to their away performances. The manager points out that while his side are more adventurous at home with two wingers, they can be a different team when facing opponents on their own patch. He expresses his ambition for the season, with European qualification now within reach.
With the arrival of Bournemouth next week, Everton face another chance to build momentum and prove themselves at Hillsborough Stadium. Moyes' determination to drive home the idea that his team should be aiming high is unwavering, even after being knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend. The manager's vision for a top-seven finish remains an achievable goal, but only if he can get his players to believe in themselves and replicate their away-day success at home.
