Toffee Thursday - Does Moyes need time to replicate his West Ham success at Everton?

Les and Dave discuss whether David Moyes' habit of choosing his most "trusted" players is damaging team performances and results, before asking whether the manager needs time to build a squad as he has done previously at Everton and, more recently and more successfully, at West Ham.
A look at his West Ham record feels very familiar to this version of Everton:
2017–18: 13th place (first spell, took over in November and kept them up)
2019–20: 16th place (returned mid-season, again stabilised them)
2020–21: 6th place (record 65 points, qualified for Europa League).
2021–22: 7th place (back‑to‑back top‑seven finishes, Europa League semi‑finals).
2022–23: 14th place (struggled in league but won Europa Conference League).
2023–24: 9th place (top half again in his final season in charge).
We then look ahead to two important games against Newcastle and West Ham. Will Moyes be forced to utilise his squad more? Is defeat against Burnley unthinkable, even if Everton get a result at Newcastle?
