Sky Sports pundit Alan Myers has sparked controversy with his scathing criticism of Everton manager David Moyes, accusing him of having a “loser’s mentality” after a particular incident during the team’s 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
According to Myers, Moyes was spotted throwing his arms up in frustration and appearing to give up on the game when Bournemouth scored their second goal. Myers believes that this reaction demonstrates a lack of leadership and a defeatist attitude from the Everton boss.
“Moyes’ body language was all wrong,” Myers said on Sky Sports’ analysis show. “When Bournemouth scored that second goal, he just threw his arms up and seemed to give up. That’s not what you want to see from your manager. It’s a loser’s mentality, and it’s infectious. If the players see their manager giving up, they’re going to do the same.”
Myers’ comments have sparked a heated debate among Everton fans, with some defending Moyes’ passion and frustration, while others agree that his reaction was unacceptable.
Everton supporters have taken to social media to express their opinions, with some calling for Moyes to take responsibility for the team’s poor performances, while others have leapt to his defense, arguing that he is doing his best with the resources available to him.
The controversy has added to the growing pressure on Moyes to turn things around at Everton, with the team struggling to find consistency and facing a tough battle to avoid relegation.
