Dominic Calvert Lewin. Before anyone starts throwing their toys out of the pram, great at holding the ball up, bit a shite finisher makes him definitely no better than decent. Great strikers score goals.

Better than decent. Come on, now.
Hard to be just decent and start multiple seasons at CB for Moyes. Central defense was a consistent strength for all of his teams.

Re: Decent Everton players
Lucas Neill is actually the perfect shout for a Moyes era CB.
Showed up past his best to help deal with an injury crisis and did a job.

Re: Decent Everton players
It depends if "solid" is read like a synonym for "decent" - or an upgrade.
I always thought Distin was solid, just limited. Always the backline player I thought we would/should upgrade if we had the money to do so.

Don't know where Schneiderlin fits because my opinion of him changed a fair bit.

Re: Decent Everton players
They weren’t great but they weren’t awful, they did a job. If I recall we even made a profit selling Gibson and Cleverly and obviously Rodwell, we sold him at the perfect time.
