Marco Silva

[jceverton]

For that alone he should not be anywhere near consideration. It will be like Martinez/Koeman and feckin Allardyce all rolled onto one.

I knew his defensive record wasn't great but when you see those stats you have to seriously question why we should be considering him.

An awful lot of people, including the normally sagacious @davek and @Zatara, are far too readily turning a blind eye to the farcical nature of Hull’s relegation after they looked safe and Watford already starting to come down from the new manager bounce weeks before we started chasing him.

I would have him all right.....Koeman and Allardyce have ground me down this season.

But I think it is a real leap in the dark

Exactly.

Rather than being excited I can only be a bit meh

Silva’s teams play attacking football and are pleasing on the eye, but defensively it is alike how Martinez set up his teams. We don’t have the personnel to play attacking football, neither do we have a defensive structure to build from the back. Silva is out of contract and for once we wouldn’t have to pay compensation, but I’m not sure he is the man to take us forward.

 

[MikeH72]

Very very unsure about this seeing as we already have no good defenders at the club.

 

[Lowste]

Attractive football - count me in

I hope Paulo takes the armband from jagielka and keeps it for himself

Na ....give it to Seamus

Very very unsure about this seeing as we already have no good defenders at the club.

If we've got no decent defenders we may as well go all out attack to outscore the opposition.

 

[Kantareller]

If he brings in 11 decent players I'm for him.

 

[beachy]

Massively underwhelming.

But the problem is constantly going for failures on the back of them being polar opposites is a recipe for failure:

Martinez left - "ah he was too soft and couldn't defend we need a tough SOB manager who can defend"

We got Koeman - "ah he was too hard on the players and lost the dressing room/didnt get the club we need a manager who's one of us and who gets us

We got Unsworth- "ah he isnt cut out for the job we need an experienced manager who can get back to basics"

We got Alladyce "ah he's utterly dire we need anyone who can play good attacking football"

We got Martin...

That my point our fanbase need to stop accepting the same crap and demand the board hears our apathy we need a good manager someone who can attack AND defend otherwise its going to be the same old cycle next season or so guaranteed.

If we've got no decent defenders we may as well go all out attack to outscore the opposition.

But we’ve got no midfielders that can pass forward either.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

But we’ve got no midfielders that can pass forward either.

We're more likely to buy a half-decent midfielder than a competent back line though.

Silva's managerial record on goals conceded per match for last 5 years:

Portugese second division 0.67
Portuguese first division 1.23
Portuguese first division 0.87
Portuguese first division 0.85
Greek first division 0.53
Premier League 1.90

So generally pretty good until he gets to the Premier League and then shocking. Can he not handle the different style of play in the Premiership, has he been found out and can't operate in this league? Big gamble for Everton to find the definitive answer to that question.

 

[4737carlin]

Be gutted if we get stuck with him, were bad, but where not this bad

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Fonseca's goals against looks pretty good. Silva's record in Premier League is very poor.

Matches 42
Wins 13
Draws 8
Losses 21
Goals For 53
Goals Against 80

Doesn't look great, but Mourinho and Guardiola also may have struggled with keeping clean sheets with Miguel Britos, Craig Cathcart, Adrian Mariappa, Michael Dawson and Curtis Davies in defence
