Alan Myers rubishes Hill Dickinson Stadium nonsense heard from Everton fans
Everton fans are yet to truly embrace Hill Dickinson Stadium after leaving Goodison Park.
The Toffees have struggled for form at home in the Premier League this season, winning just four of their 13 home matches.
As things stand, the Blues have the seventh-worst home league record in the current campaign, also recording four draws and five losses.
Bournemouth were the latest team to break the hearts of supporters in L4 on 10 February, coming back from a goal behind in the Merseyside outfit’s 2-1 defeat.
Everton fans can’t be serious about Goodison Park return
Alan Myers can’t believe some Toffees supporters are calling for a return to Goodison Park after their recent home form.
While the former Sky Sports journalist admits the Blues’ prospects at Hill Dickinson Stadium haven’t been the best so far, he is optimistic about the future.
With the Merseyside outfit now playing in what’s considered by many a state-of-the-art venue, good things are surely on the horizon in L4.
Writing in Everton.News on 16 February, Myers said, “There was an immediate clamber on social media to question the new stadium, with some even suggesting they’d be happy to move back to Goodison Park.”
The journalist added, “Of course, that is nonsense, Hill Dickinson Stadium is — and will prove even more to be — the best thing to happen to the club for many years, the opportunities it presents are endless as the club seeks to progress away from the slumber it has been in for many a year now.”
Moyes hopes to qualify for Europe at the end of the season, but that will surely require more consistency from his team, especially at home, with the Scottish manager’s team currently three points behind Brentford in seventh.

Friedkin Group have to take blame after David Moyes struggles
Moyes was left with evidently weak squad depth at the end of the summer transfer window, and The Friedkin Group failed to address it in January.
In the final hours of the winter window, Everton got a deal over the line for Tyrique George, but there’s undoubtedly more that could’ve been done, especially in defence and attack.
The Scottish manager lacks quality in depth at full-back, is now without Jack Grealish for a considerable period and hasn’t been able to rely on Beto or Thierno Barry in the number nine position.
If anyone is to be blamed for the Merseyside outfit’s stumbling campaign, it’s the American owners who’ve failed to back Moyes financially recently.
