What needs to be done...and I'm pretty sure Silva and Brands know this. What is wrong,partially, is that the so called 'project' is becoming a monkey on their back. Instead of or as well as taking on a young striker 'for the future' as part of the project, we needed a striker for the here and now with a chance of scoring in the Prem,dare I say it a Haller or a Wesley,both were available in the summer. So, Kean needs to start every game, or the next six at least,he needs to be thrown in at he deep end to effect things NOW, bugger the project for the moment. Next, find a way to get Bernard good game time, he will always give everything, can cause defences problems, and can get the crowd going. At the expense of Iwobi ….let Iwobi find some form, or earn a spot with some sub appearances. Next, use the break to sort out the defence re dead ball situations. The whole of the Prem know this is a major weakness and this must change,or it will be the coffin nail that sees Silva off,which would be a shame, because despite the current troubles, I think he 'gets' Everton. Brands let Silva down in the summer, re a centre back and in midfield....I think the last minute effort to sign Doucoure was an acknowledgement that Gomes has a weakness both physically and mentally. I think we should go for Doucoure or similar again in January, and more obviously, Zouma, who was popular with the GP crowd, and will put pressure on the current centre backs. Finally..Siggy is badly out of form and its effecting his attitude. Silva needs to make a decision about him. Bernard could be given a go a10,and would inject some flair and pace in that area . We have got a lot of decent players, and a few very good players, but they need an injection of confidence and also a little bit of luck in front of goal and the season could still be interesting. Over to you Mr Silva, and in January ,Mr Brands, correct your mistakes of the summer.
