2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[vinvinvin]

Think the away support helps a lot with our away form. Noticed at Goodison over the last few years it's been like a library at times, we're a different fan base away from home

It's weird because at away games you hear new songs for players etc, yet at Goodison the most it ever seems to be is a rendition of half of It's a Grand Old Team... why do the people who go away not try to get the new songs going at Goodison as well?

As said above though it seems to be modern football . People were genuinely ranting out wanting him gone unless we won at Burnley , we’ve had Martinez , Koeman , unsworth and Sam and Walsh as dof all kinds of players bought by all kinds of people and managed in various styles . To put all that behind you and build in a style you want doesn’t happen over night .

We finished behind Burnley last year , we might have been eighth but we were poor . I’ve been saying to mates from the early games, it’s next season I’m excited about . We’re going on the right direction but it’s going to take time . Because city got to the top table quickly , because we’ve spent money, because a few years ago we were next and next with spurs and probably because the RS are doing well all seem to be ramping up the pressure on a manager who has literally just arrived .

I expect that if we really do want to challenge for Europe (say Champions League) then it's going to take at least two to three seasons of development, if not more.

That's not saying that we should be complacent and not expect improvements along the way, but it's naive and unrealistic to expect it to simply happen overnight.

This season is about adapting to a new style of football, embedding new players into the system (including removing previous shackles) and clearing the decks.

Over time, with the correct additions and the subsequent improvement of strength in depth, alongside the exodus of some of the dross, then we will get better.

People will obviously throw last year's and other season's points totals as a benchmark, however really what I am looking for is an improvement in our play.

Personally, I'm currently hoping Silva places a focus on a push for the FA Cup and improving our record away from home against many of the top teams.

The first can bring recognition while our record away is something that's been a bogey for a long, long time; if we want to challenge, it needs challenging ASAP.

What do you want him to say? It’s for the stakeholders?

I want him to talk about the performance and to discuss the key points in the game not make pandering comments every game to get the fans on his side like a machine

 

[thirdmantackle]

We've a run of 6/7 winnable games coming up.
Let's see how things are then.

Looking forward to seeing what signings if any are made in January and seeing how we develop through the 2nd half of the season. I guess after the last couple of seasons we were never going to leap into the top 6 off the back of one window but when you look at how many points we have thrown away and see how close would be to it without the stupid results/terrible performances then it is an improvement of sorts. Rome wasn't built in a day but I guess we have made progress after the disaster of Koeman's last summer.

Only
Forgive me for saying this mate, but pretty much without exception every single one if your posts after joining this week have been negative, critical or pessimistic, including right after a 5-1 away win,.

Sorry but just weird and somewhat fishy mate

Blue - Im just being honest. Everyone is allowed an opinion and not be thought of as fishy or weird?

I try and be constructive and give rational/facts to my arguments.

I am totally dumbstruck to be honest that we have spent 300mill+ and have not improved one iota in the last couple of years. I would blame just about everyone involved in managing the team and choosing signings over that period.

We are weak in every single department of the pitch, have had several average/poor managers and the worst transfer windows in premier league history.

I am gutted that plenty of young lads I know have seen no success for this great club in 24 years. The only way of stopping that at the moment is through sheer luck because I have nil faith that the owner knows what he is doing in terms of building a management team.

What an awful day for the “this time last season we had X points” crew. Just 1 point off our January deadline day total of 28 last season now. @radiostar what are your thoughts on this stat mate?

We'll it's not great is it. 27 points isn't what would have been a minimum expected given the signings and new manager at this stage.

But a wins a win and it was a bloody good one at that. Like I said in the match thread, no complaints from me today. A Christmas miracle !!

It's crazy the difference you see, if we brought the away atmosphere to Goodison then it'd be a horrible place for Away teams to come and play

Have you ever tried singing at Goodison? Im in the Park End and they look at you like you have three heads.

Sadly our home atmosphere is a disgrace.

Sooner the club gets a singing section up and running the better, hell give out free flags or scarves anything to get the grey masses of North Face arl arses up off their seat and singing.

Think it's a simple case of at aways games the regulars are in the same vicinity and can conduct and get things going in a much smaller part of the ground. At goodison they are very much likely to be in opposite sides of the ground. Also different and seemingly a more high spirited bunch at aways because of a day out and representative of Everton.

I sit in the lower Bullens... there's more chance of me actually sprouting three heads and all of them singing than there is a song breaking out from there!

 

[Abraders]

Nice win yesterday well done Silva.

Don't think I'd ever seen us dismantle a team away from home like that before. Lovely stuff.

Now keep it up.

This season is all about transition due to the upheaval in the closed season. There were always going to to be results like the spurs one, on the flip side there’s always going to be results like the Burnley one, however we are travelling in the right direction and are exciting to watch, we will continue to experiment this season to establish our identity and playing style. I fully expect us to be comfortably top six next season even challenging top 4

I'm sorry mate but he lost 6-2 at home to Spurs. That's an unacceptable result at Everton and if your happy with that maybe we are the mid table club you want to be. And as for your longtermism, do you think Richarlison will still be here next season if we finish 8th and man Utd come in with a 100 million bid? And then how do we replace him ?

So yes sometimes short term you do need to perform because it isn't always better the next year. Look at Martinez he got progressively worse year on year and Silva is similar type to him it seems
