2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[BlueToff]

Lookman clearly doesn't want to be here, hence why he's 'injured'

No, he's injured

 

[riddick]

It’s horrible to admit it. But people need to drastically lower their expectations on us and where we actually are in the football world these days.

We have average to poor players, with an average manager and we are in an average league position with little hope of progression.

That’s where we are.

I respectfully disagree about the players. They are well above average, just seem to dumb themselves down when they sign for Everton.

 

[Kurt.]

Gotta love Everton fans ....

Most fickle bunch out there by far

 

[Krs]

As I’ve said for weeks and had people quote ‘who else would do better’. Ha this fella is no better than big Sam, he gets away with it he’s from Portugal and had a little spell with two european sides, seen more life in a tramps vest in goodison lately, ‘on the up’ before the derby ... clueless. This club is on its arse top to bottom.

But why is that the case? Could it be that he's started 10 games in 18 months for a team that barely creates anything? Say what you want about his attitude and everything else he's been mismanaged and we can only blame ourselves if he leaves and turns into something.

 

[ForeverEverton]

We are eight points above Palace, who are themselves probably not even in the scrap...

If in 3 games time we havent picked up at least a win or 2 and the other teams playing 4 games because of games in hand we could be a lot closer than we want or expect to be. A bit arrogant and complacent to dismiss it out of hand when we are on a run of 1 win in 8 games, that is nearly half of the current season!

 

[GwladysBlue]

4 clean sheets in 21 games. Incredibly bad.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

How bad does it look on Moyes though that he's marginally better than 3 managers with only a third of the time combined and slightly worse than his first predecessor?

Not really - he came into a side on the verge of relegation and then had about 24.54 found down the back of Bill’s couch to spend on players.

 

[BlueToff]

5 weeks ago it wasn't rosy.

We were in some semi good form and yet we had still dropped many points to teams we dispatched last season with simple organisation from the previous manager.

Silva has spent loads, revamped the team with seemingly quality additions and somehow we are actually in a worse positon than last season.

I'd say let Silva spend more money on the players we need but I see little to no point in doing so when he's showing us he can get nothing out of this current squad. His tactical nous is next to 0.

What teams? Because we hadn't...

We drew at home to complete dross last season. And away too. We lost at Bournemouth under Sam, so Silva improved that. We dropped points to West Brom under Sam. Can count that as the same as dropping points v Huddersfield, no?

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Then that is down tactics and poor coaching and not practicing enough within training. Pep will have his players practice drills over and over again, sometimes for days at a time till it becomes muscle memory and second nature, somehow i don't think we do that when it comes to stuff like finishing and passing, set pieces, throw ins, etc, etc. Silva just seems very lost at the moment but tbh i did'nt expect anything less, you only have to look at his career history and stats and what we see now is basically what he is capable of, it might work for now but longer term i don't think it's the answer.

Pep has never managed at a club like Everton. Managers can make a huge difference, but this just in - he has REALLY GOOD PLAYERS. Pep finished 3rd his first year in the PL and didn't win anything. Was he not as good a manager as he is now? He has BETTER PLAYERS.

Said it for weeks mate, no bigger than wolves or West Ham accept it. History we are but current day we aren’t.

 

[hktoffee]

Tim, we've played 11 home games in the league.

We've won five, drawn three and lost three.

Yes, it's crap at the moment that we've not won in four at home.

But that record isn't 'a disgrace'.

I know you love your hyperbole's, but bloody hell. Four away wins in the calendar year of 2018 is more of a 'disgraceful' stat, surely?

8 left and 5 are against the top 6 sides. Maybe he would break Martínez’s worst PL home record at this rate.

Almost as if we've not won anything in 20+ years, isn't it?

that table from 7th - 13th - that is our table.

You're saying we could get dragged into it but honestly, I'm telling you - and I watch footy for a living and have seen plenty of those crap sides play this season - we ain't getting dragged into it.

We need to improve. Hugely. Could they catch us up and put pressure on a bit? Maybe. But we're not getting dragged into it.

 

[Krs]

It just takes that one break. For Spurs it was Harry Kane coming through the academy. Napoli had Cavani Lavezzi and Hamsik turn into a dynamite attack out of nowhere and haven't looked back. We need that special olayer or manager to spark it. That's why not giving Lookman a chance annoys me so much.

Lookman la hahahahahaha
