2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[JobForTheMoyes]

What’s he supposed to do, defend when we’re two down at half time ??

Damage limitation. This is a very damaging result for the club, fans and players, psychologically. If we do not bounce back we could have a really bad spell.

Peak Martinez was that Chelsea game. Which was one goal for us better than that today.

I’ve tried to forget Koeman’s reign.

Arsenal at home in Martinez’s last season I think it was, despite losing 2-0, was the possibly the worst Everton home performance I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Kopite just texted me and said the obvious. That Pickford error in the derby has ripped all confidence and heart out of the team. Shows how weak we are mentally if that is the case. This despite having players within the team who have played for Brazil and Barcelona’s first team and numerous internationals. Whoever comes to this club, we seem to be cursed with their inability to perform in big games, today we can add the manager to that list as frankly his tactics were naive.

 

[EverBlue92]

And im sorry - Brighton and Leicister against 10 men aside we have played with zero fluidity.

All this talk of improving our football is hilarious - watch Bournemouth, West Ham or Watford and they play just as well if not better.

Just remembered Koeman at home to Arsenal day before he got sacked. Again similar to today.

Basically. It happens too often to us.

 

[Eagle Eye]

We’ve been competitive in every game bar todays whereas under Koeman we were getting routinely ripped apart including in the Europa league

The mind plays tricks eh? Watford ripped us apart the other night (and we got very lucky) , West Ham have also ripped us apart this season (now Spurs) and we have struggled against Newcastle and Huddersfield and thrown away leads at Wolves and Bournemouth.

Don't think that because we nearly got a point at Anfield we've been more competitive. We got a point away at Man City under Koeman and should have won. We narrowly lost 2-1 at home to what we now know are a very classy Lyon team who beat City in the CL this season. We were as competive in the first 9 games under Koeman as we have been in the last 9 under Silva.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Koeman bought his own team and it was disfunctional to say the least. Silva is still working with Brands on remedying that debacle and to suggest his dismissal would be ‘fair and consistent’ after 6 months is surely a wind up.

Silva has made progress in both our playing style and the actual quality of our first 11. Yeah he got it wrong today definitely but a bit of patience and perspective please.

A lot of his problems were down to the structure. I think the DOF structure is overrated and leads to passing the buck, and for the head coach to not have the control he needs.

 

[mkrudden]

Ok, Im livid so that's probably out of line. But he and wasn't Hogdson sacked same way?

Yeah very true. But as I say I was genuinely enquiring as I don't remember the AvB sacking.

Hard viewing that 90 mind today so I totally get you're mad mate.

Given the revolving door culture of football managers I can see the appeal of having stability in a DoF.

Basically. It happens too often to us.

Agree

Still far too many mentally weak players in the squad who just accept it. We should have been 2-0 up and on top. Instead, a decision went against us and we fell to bits.

 

[malfosse]

He's not getting sacked this season, and nor should he. That defensive performance (or lack of) was 'kin atrocious though.

 

[riddick]

Yeah very true. But as I say I was genuinely enquiring as I don't remember the AvB sacking.

Hard viewing that 90 mind today so I totally get you're mad mate.

Yeah, pretty sure it was against Arsenal he got a bit of a shelacking and they sacked him.

 

[polish]

Shouldn't have sacked big Sam hey?

No, just shouldn't recruit a guy who was relegated and then fired.

You’re right we’ve thrown away points but we were still competitive in any game where we we’ve gotten a draw by definition... only a couple times have we had no way back.

The new players don’t look much mentally stronger. If I’m honest about it.

It’s the club as a whole.
