2019/20 Marco Silva

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Moving Van starting it's motor.

The manager proved he can set up and play against top opposition, but the players have to be motivated and switched on.

As you said earlier, the lack of concentration and heart is a huge issue.

The manager of the day bears at least some responsibility for that. As does Brands I must say if the bulk of players brought in don't appear to be leaders, given much is made of the big clubs we sign players from where they would have been immersed in a totally different culture on that front. Too often they look like they don't care enough which is unacceptable. If you have to grind out a result then so be it, it's infinitely better than such apathetic defeat.

The questions about Silva are maybe for another day, but for a long time I have thought we need a manager in the Conte mould, especially with a set of players as seemingly mentally lazy and fragile such as this. It seems as if they need to be constantly kept on their mettle from the sidelines.

I like Silva, but his problem since hes been here is consistency. Tbh that's every managers problem we have, that performance their is just typical Everton I think doesn't matter who the manager is or what players we have

 

[davek]

He is not. He is a one trick percentage crossing manager, nothing else.

That's rubbish.

You've seen how we can beat good teams.

That sort of criticism gets us nowhere.

 

[hktoffee]

In his defence, he was crying out for a defender in the summer after Zouma (and even Jagielka) left but got nobody in the end. No surprise that you take Zouma out of our defence and it goes to tat.

There are loads of alternative but he/Brands decide we go with what we’ve got. Terrible decision. We have 2 cb to choose from.

 

[bitter-no-better]

Howe got his tactics right. Silva never. Howe put his strong pacey players up against Coleman and Keane. No need for both Morgan and Delph against these teams. An extra creative player was needed. Forgot the cockups and zonal marking. He got it wrong.

 

[Thomasc]

This is what annoys me, its 1-1 we have more of the ball so go right at them and win the game, instead we just knock it around happy with 1-1

it was exactly the same as the Villa game for me.

Should have won it comfortably, didn't.

 

[DualityNSNO]

I strongly disagree with your opinion. All our goal threat disappears when Gylfi leaves the pitch.

Bernard should start over Iwobi.

Kean has shown literally nothing for Everton. At this stage DCL is a much better option.

I do agree with you that Schneiderlin has no business on the pitch.

Ultimately our two starting midfielders Gbamin & Gomes are out with injury; and due to that we failed to control or link possession in the midfield. That’s why we lost.

And DCL has showed what?

His last goal in the Prem before today was in March, and he offers a goal every 5 games and absolutely no threat, other than maybe (as today) doing *something* right for a change.

Edit: A goal every 8 games actually or something daft.

 

[riddick]

...no, not good enough. But he is a good tactician and has proven it. He's not a bad manager.

Again, based on WHAT? He's a good tactician?

 

[matty1878]

You're*

Thanks

 

[GwladysBlue]

11th after that start to the season. He’s one of the worst managers in world football.

 

[john jako]

...no, not good enough. But he is a good tactician and has proven it. He's not a bad manager.

21 points out of 22 away games doesn’t scream a great tactician.

 

[matty1878]

Yes, you're probably right. We can't really afford to sack yet another manager.
Even though this clown is obviously not up to the job - no tactical nous, poor team selection, predictable substitutions and no passion.

Until we win and you all love him again

Yep, Silva owns this defeat like all others. But I KNOW who the real culprits are, as you and others do.

A team of bottlers assembled.

Only passion this fella has is for Calvert Lewin. Joker.
