Marco Silva

He doesnt always play 4-2-3-1, he sometimes plays 4-3-3 and he has also played 4-1-4-1, theres a chance he may even play the 3-4-2-1 that seems to be becoming quite popular, its all about the players and the oppo, he seems very tactical flexible.

Iceland wont be sold, nobody would buy him for a start and hes a player that Silva would be able to fit into all his systems.

Im aware that you have this dream of Lookman playing ACM, but it wont happen.

Cant see him going 3 at the back...he'd need 5 new centre backs as only Holgate has the pace he needs.

433 is also quite unlikely I think unless we signed a new striker and 2 new starting centre mids.

Sigurdsson would be an easy sell...but lookman by the end of next season will be 1st choice there.

Ive done the research Zat, hes played 4-3-3 as much as hes played 4-2-3-1, we dont need 2 new CMs to play 4-3-3, we have the players already here, whether they are of the required standard is questionable, but at Watford he wasnt blessed with supreme talents, the players just bought into the style and the tactics.

I can assure you right now, Lookman will not be first choice in the ACM role at any point in his career, he doesnt have the required skillset at all.

On the wing for us though, I think a distinct possible

Can you show where you found the formations and how many times he used them?

At Watford remember, he actually brought in Chalobah and Hughes...Cleverley joined after his loan.

But he did have to add 2 specific players...nothing like ours.
 
What bit of this don't you understand? At NO point have I said conclusively that I, or WFC, have evidence. I have speculated that we do. You are speculating that we don't. It's pretty easy to understand.

You have decided you are innocent based on the fact that nothing has leaked out, so therefore it can't exist.

And to answer one of your earlier posts - I can't talk for any other fan of my club who you said abused you. It's certainly not in my nature but I'm sure you are all old enough and big enough to dish out back. All this talk of banning people seems a bit odd.

You cannot start saying People or institutions should regret how they act without any proof though.

It's not different sides of the argument, you are making a number of claims that need to be substantiated.

If you show me evidence, I will happily go along with your viewpoint, but to date none has been provided.

What this smacks of, is as a club and a fanbase you remain deeply disappointed a very promising season went off key. I can fully understand that, and to a point can see why there is frustration towards Everton. In my time of watching Everton, we have been in "Watfords" position more often than "Evertons" in this instance. It's absolutely galling seeing your players, or indeed manager want to move on.

That alone isn't proof of wrongdoing though.

Likewise I do think you have to acknowledge your own clubs role in this. You give managers frightfully short contracts, which given your clubs ability to unearth very talented, largely unknown managers seems a blind spot in decision making.

Likewise, your decision to resist EFCs approach to talk to Silva while principled was a very poor decision. Many of us speculated on this, myself included, and I even said I couldn't rule you out of being sucked into a dogfight as a result, which you were but thankfully had enough to survive.

What I found bewildering, was Watford fans struggling to understand that Silva wanted to leave (it was very clear) and his reasoning for doing so. Forget history, if you had any understanding of the people running Everton it would be clear they have a level of financial capacity well beyond your current owners. That's not to knock them. I've seen us under poor owners without a pot to urinate in too and I can see the difference.

Watford should have taken the money, got a higher calibre of coach in and probably cemented a push towards European qualification. It's easy to blame Everton, but if it wasn't us, another side would have come sniffing and your board would have acted in a counter productive and extremely damaging way.

To cover for that they now want pay back. For the sake of football, it would be a travesty of any compensation had to be paid. The mans been sacked 6 months. I can't see how football could operate if such decisions were held up.

I don't massively mind anyone abusing me, but I shouldn't have to defend myself, and nor should you. I don't agree with the goading you've had on here and have tried to challenge it, explicitly and implicitly (like challenging you without resorting to insults). I agree arguments for bans are odd and I wouldn't go along with that. Watford fans are not perfect in this either though, and I've found many to be rude and a tad dim in their understanding of where Everton are at if I'm honest.

I understand your frustration at Everton, but that in itself is not credible evidence. Neither is anger to Silva.
 
I sense you warming to Silva in the last 24 hours.

I like to look forward David.

As I say, im not totally convinced, his record I can only describe as patchy, he has the morals of a snake rat judas, which I am of course willing to look past, "for the greater good".

He has his pluses, it appears as tho he has a firm tactical grasp and very good man management skills.

His negatives are his adaptability when things go wrong and his system demands a LOT from the players, which sometimes leads to tiredness and gaps in defence. So if Marcel can give him the right players, to complement the 1s we have and the system and if he can get everything working tip top then we have a chance.

But if things hit the fan, then we are in serious trouble.

Im expectant, but concerned, thankfully my faith in Marcel is unwavering.
