Of course we all want Everton to beat Watford tonight. If we were playing against my local pub team in my back garden I would want Everton to win.
Although I suspect that our local scouts under 13 team would give this current joke of a manager a run for his money. They would over run Silvas preferred midfield. Sniederlin and Siggy. FFS. Delph also.
My team for tonight.
Pickford- Sidibe-Gibson-Holgate-Digne- Davies-Gomes-Iwobi-DCL-Kean-Richarlson. 4-3-3.
The middle three , Gomes holds. Davies and Iwobi press.
The top three all interchange.
Let's press Watford. Let's win this match. Then get a favourable draw in the business end of this cup.
Then keep the winning team and carry some momentum into the weekend. And beat Spurs. Onwards and upwards.
Win our next two matches and things might....just might start to look better.
Can Silva and this bunch of players be trusted? TBH I fear not.
Here's hoping for a decent run of results now from our team.
But tbh I'm not expecting much. Papering over cracks won't do. We really do need to be seen to be turning the corner. We really do need a A. Heath moment.
But I fear that Silva is no Howard Kendall. Never will be.
