2019/20 Marco Silva

[APN_EFC]

You're messing aren't you? If he wins at Anfield I couldn't care less if it's because he's dug trenches in the pitch and literally parked the bus in front of the goal. We haven't won a derby for about 10 years, when (if?!) it finally happens the style we do it in will not bother me in the slightest.

Of course - but what do you mean - are you saying if he wins the Derby he's worth keeping?

Silva will really struggle for a job in the premier league after this one....and that says it all. We are supposed to be going for the top 6

He should have struggled for a job in the premier League after going down with hull and being sacked by Watford. But moshiri thought he did so well that he was perfect for Everton!!

If you where picking a team there only 4 players you definitely pick

Pickford(no other choice)
Digne( best LB in the league)
Mina (by far our best defender)
Richarlison(best forward)

every other position has 2-3 choice and that’s the problem, take the RSand Leicester there attack picks itself. City are different as they can field 2 full teams.

He had full strength in the new year last year, look what happened in the Christmas and new year last year? I get it that there are holes in the squad I get it that we lost Zouma and Gana and a midfield that is injured. But he never plays his best team apart from West Ham he can't motivate the team and his substitutions are dreadful. He can't get a consistent tune out of the squad and chops and changes every week. The job is too big for him.

Well it would be a bit weird to keep him in charge through all the trials and tribulations we've had and then give him the bullet after he's led us to our first win at Anfield in 20 years wouldn't it? That would be sending a very odd message indeed.

This weeks presser is gonna be fun.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Guessing Brands is thinking, with 2 really hard and tough away games against the top 2 better to let Silva manage them and the sack him and give the new manager a home game to start off.. as we are mostly likely to lose both even with a new manager

I real

The problem of yet another sacked Everton manager would be recruitment of any replacement...

Whichever way you look at we must now be looked on as an underperforming sacking club who hire and fire on a regular basis.

After Moyes, we have gone through Martinez, caretaker, Koeman, Unsworth, Allardyce (and Silva?) in short time, are likely to be in and around the relegation places for the short to medium term, especially with the upcoming fixtures, with a support who could turn hostile very quickly indeed.

A couple of those have had relative success before coming here and after leaving us, they increased the size of their wallets while here but perhaps would have been better staying away.

Possibly the bigger question is even IF, and it's a big IF, we did somehow attract anyone other then a relegation specialist or rookie newbie manager, then how long before we all want him to go? - possibly six months? - a year? Maybe eighteen months at the outside.

Now or later the managerial chair here seems too good an offer to turn down OR it really doesn't and anyone of any repute won't even look twice at it except to get rich quick.

We SHOULD be an underperforming sacking club with where they are right now. We sit in 16th place, losing every match against promoted sides without us scoring a single goal with listless performances from the players on the pitch and mind numbingly stupid tactics from the manager. This is where we were aiming for a top 6 place. Forget how few points separate it, it's an embarrassment that this club either doesn't have the foresight or eyesight or balls to sack the manager who has been out of his depth from day 1.

Any manager who looks at what Silva is doing and thinks us sacking him would be unfair I wouldn't want at the club anyways. He's not been what Moshiri "gambled" on at all. He was meant to grow with the team and EVERY SINGLE PLAYER has regressed under him.

Yes, they are Moshiri "expected defeats" after all!

 

[MikeH72]

We are not winning at Anfield, so you can all shelve that thought right now.

We came closest last yer to get a point but it went a bit wrong.

 

[MrGrumpy]

A bit wrong? You could argue nothing been right since that. We where playing well before that game and we still never seemed to recover,where they got strong and strong from it

That one moment was like a sliding door effect.

He shouldve been sacked as a statement that the board won't put up with these results and performances. It is ideal to have a replacement obviously, but would Unsworth do worse than Silva in the next 2/3 games?

He's a dead man walking, hardly inspiring for the weak minded team of ours is it to know the manager is getting sacked in a few games

 

[Khalekan]

I think we all now realise he is here for the next 7 days. We've two massive games. All we can do is support the team from the stands and somehow get something from both the matches. Its not the away games I fear for him, if he's still here against Chelsea on the Saturday and we've taken 0-1 points in the two games Goodison is going to be horrible and I think its cruel on him to put him back there

It is like the club’s hierarchy have just written off these next two games.

These are desperate days at EFC.

As you say, we will support our team on the pitch.....but it is becoming very hard to support the way our club is being run.

Just translate it to our own workplaces.

In my experience it was very hard to get motivated when I knew my line manager had lost his way and he was soon to be removed.

I imagine football players are no less demotivated when the manager is a dead man walking.

That’s exactly what happened...they flushed these 2 games thinking that we have never got a chance...
