We lack
Also, I don't get to watch all games but since our promising start to the season where I remember us pressing other teams deep in their half... Have we stopped doing this now?

There are clear indication we don’t adopt this anymore, the pressing now is more individualistic rather than team effort. I believe we don’t have fit enough players to sustain this hence Silva adopts a more measure approach.

Players like Gomez and Richarlison could not 90mins playing like this, siggy clearly struggled and physically burnt out at times with such style at the end of the games.

It’s a shame as this high tempo approach work so well and once we reach busy December period, Silva had no choice but to altered our game plan to suit our players who can’t cope playing 2 games a week at this intensity.
 
I don't understand the point of people saying they think the manager is awful, but we need to keep him.

If your washing machine breaks do you just keep it and hope for the best. Maybe it will work and not ruin the clothes once a month.

Change is hard. But it's inevitable. Suck it up and move on.

If new washing machines couldn't be trusted and the proven most desirable used ones were rented on long term contracts which were particularly expensive to break outside of a certain time period and if washing machines required additional resources in order to do the best job and if the washing machines.....

Actually, I don't think that the washing machine analogy works very well...
 

Yeah we had reached a ceiling. But, the FA Cup final we were up against peak Chelsea and had lots of injuries. We always lacked that extra bit of quality that would have raised our level due to budgets. But there was always a structure, professionalism and determination. We seem to lack all of that now
I agree with all those comments mate but you'd have thought he would have pulled the big games out the bag once or twice. I know he did against them lot but he never ever took risks and that's why we didn't progress.
 


Everton owner to axe Silva and wants inspirational Champ boss

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri wants to dismiss Marco Silva and appoint Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa as his replacement, according to reports on Sunday.

The Toffees are in a disappointing run of form and lost 1-0 at Watford on Saturday to sit ninth in the Premier League – and only nine points clear of 18th-placed Southampton.

While Moshiri publicly backed Silva last month, he did, however, admit that results this season have not been good enough and he expected more given the £90million transfer backing he gave the Portuguese coach over the summer.

Since then, Everton have lost five of their last six to heap the pressure on Silva and leave his position hanging by a knife-edge.

And according to an exclusive in the Sunday Mirror, Moshiri wants to axe Silva and appoint Leeds boss Bielsa as his replacement, having been impressed with the job the Argentine has done at Elland Road.

Leeds currently top the Championship and are firmly in the mix for a return to the Premier League after a 15-year stint in the lower leagues.

Bielsa is revered in coaching circles, with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola a ‘disciple’ of his style and legendary attention to detail.

Guardiola is on record calling the Argentinian “the best coach in the world”, while Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is another confirmed admirer.

However, Leeds should not feel too alarmed by the link, with Bielsa admitting he’s at Elland Road for the challenge of stirring the sleeping giant rather than for the money.

The Argentine is reportedly paid £2million a year by Leeds and while he could comfortably earn more at Goodison, he’s highly unlikely to jump ship at this stage of the season.

Bielsa has also admitted in the past he would not move clubs mid-season with much of his success down the preparation he does for each job and each team; a move at this stage would go against his principles and the in-depth way in which he works.

The Leeds boss remains at the centre of the Spygate investigation from the EFL after Bielsa admitted to watching the training sessions of all the club’s opponents this season, though he explained why that only accounts for 5% of his preparation work for each game with this incredible and impassioned defence.
 
He shows no signs of being capable of turning this around so the only logical decision would be to sack him.

People will argue that these aren’t his players but it’s his job to motivate and train them to win football matches. It’s not happening. You just need to look at United, solskjaer has gone in there and got them motivated and inspired. They aren’t his players.

Moshiri himself said it was a big gamble appointing him. Sadly it’s failed. Needs ripping up and starting all over again.
 
we've finished 5th, 11th, 11th, 7th, 8th since Moyes left, we are currently 9th, now is not the time to panic, lets see if we can pick up a few results in the next few games.

He should be given atleast to the summer now, then I'm sure Brands and Moshiri will evaluate the situation.

He just won’t. He wouldn’t lose to Wolves and Watford if he can pick up results. He’s out of his depth.
