For David Moet, Anfield has become a nightmare.
There, there were no wins in 21 games managed there, with 14 losses and 36 goals recognized. And the Everton boss doesn’t expect life to be easier when he visited Liverpool, the runaway league leader in the Premier League on Wednesday.
“We may be farther away from Liverpool than ever before,” said Moyes (61), who is 36 points behind Liverpool.
“When we left, we were all the way closer to Liverpool. We were competitive and we were competing in the same region of the league. At this point, it’s probably the largest bay between the two clubs.”
Looking at the history book shows that Moyes is right. This is the biggest point gap ever before before the Merseyside Derby, where Moyes is in charge of Everton.
The Moyes’ 19 Premier League match without a victory at Anfield is also the longest manager has competed without winning on the ground.
Dozens of these matches came during his first spell in charge of Everton. He also lost his only match at Anfield when he was in charge of Manchester United boss and Sunderland.
While being West Ham’s manager, he has been responsible for seven games at Liverpool and lost everything on his recent visit as he watched the Reds secured a 5-1 thrashing in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup in December 2023.
He said: “Yeah, I don’t want that.” [the record]. I want to win. I want to get rid of it.
“Every time we go there, it presents another opportunity to do so.
“It’s a very difficult place to get results, so if I say I’m always looking forward to going there, I’d lie. I’ve always had a good team because it has nothing to do with my surroundings or the pitch.”
