Everton may want to 'roll the dice' on Moyes

In truth, it's probably for the best that the talk of Europe has now been put to bed. With the defensive frailties this squad possesses, Everton simply do not have the depth required to cope with the demands of both midweek and weekend football.

To lead twice in a must-win game and still fail to take all three points perfectly demonstrates that.

Everton are exactly where most expected them to be: mid-table. David Moyes has at least restored a sense of stability. The big question for the owners now is whether to stick or twist with his current deal nearing its end.

Had Everton secured European football, Moyes would undoubtedly have earned a new contract. But with a World Cup on the horizon and potentially half the Premier League searching for a new manager, the market could become chaotic very quickly.

The Friedkins may decide that, given the level of investment made, now is the time to roll the dice.

What's your view on Moyes' future at Everton? Should the club stick or twist?
