Duncan Ferguson - The Coach

I like him a lot but it is a honeymoon period.
He doing a great job when we are underdog but his team never falls behind yet and what could he do after get defeated :blush:
 
A few weeks ago if we’d have been slammed 4-1 the “let’s give the manager time” crew would have blamed injuries and everything else for the defeat. It just shows you what some good organisation, team spirit and instilled belief can get you. That all comes from the manager and for me are the key components to a successful one. This rubbish about not being able to play like that all the time need to go back a few seasons and watch Leicester....I’m fairly sure Liverpool’s players run even further than ours have the last two games .utter drivel that quote

His tactics are outdated, yes he has 4 points. But safe to say if he continues playing this way he will struggle in the long run.

Do agree, I thought we were fairly well organised defensively, and while we are counter attacking 4-4-2 is okay, but games where we are going to have more possession we may struggle as we aren't set up to break down defensive teams.

Small time con man.

Must admit, when he made that comment it had more than a whiff of Moyes' "knife to a gun fight" comment.

It's amazing what a club "legend" can get away with saying and doing.

He's a dinosuar mate.

That was worse than Moyes yesterday.

Agricultural is a word that cant convey what that looked like. Embarrasing.

A load of our players rushing toward the ball in clusters of 6 and 7 like schoolkids footy. The "manager" with his shirt on in pissing down conditions to show how much "he cares".

It's like we're Cleethorpes United.

United drew level and he shat it: confused he throws another attacker on to repalce a MF, to see out a draw.

He's a crackpot caveman.

Me toes were curling.

"Just the 6th draw for Everton here in 30 years"

WTF?!!!
 
Ferguson has been acting manager for about eight days... are people seriously making judgements on his ability in that time ?

We know certain things about him, that he seems to like a variation of 442, he seems to be able to organise a team to defend better than they have for a number of months and by putting Holgate into midfield we see they are able to think around a problem.
However, because of injuries the team is nearly picking itself up and we have to wait and see if this improvement is a new manager bubble or something more.

I think there are a couple of things I find promising... he seems able to make strong if unpopular decisions and he brings an energy to the touchline that I have not seen in years.

People like yourself that wanted Silva to be given more time because he did well for a few games last season and hoped he could do it for a whole season.

We can see from Ferguson's 2004 tactics he isn't up to it in the long run. The derby in Jan should be his last game, then we being in ancelotti
