2019/20 Marco Silva

It's not going to turn around. We should have sacked him end of last season as I said - the run of form when nothing mattered papered over massive cracks.

But we didn't, so you may as well give him to December now. Give him enough rope to hang himself with, because there's a run of games coming up where we'll be lucky to be in the top ten by the turn of the year.
The pre Christmas 6-2 bumming Spurs gave us at home was the final straw for me - between then and the late march purple patch we managed 4 wins in 14.
 
I remember the start of the season Sky were lording our current defensive record, past 14 games only City had conceded less I think it was.

WTF has happened to our defending again, both those CB's need benching after today but we can't because we have no quality cover, Delph had a shocker as well, by far his worst game for us.

It doesn't matter what the manager does when individuals defend like that and can't do the simple basics.

I know the answer.....Zouma and Gana
 
Weve literally been the same club for 15-20 years now. Close but no cigar. Couple of good cup runs in that time but bottled them in the end. Nearlt got into the champions league but bottled that too. Theres always some excuse, dodgy decision, if only Yakubu had been fit, arteta injury, jags knee exploding. The truly big clubs go and win stuff in spite of those things.

Moshiri is trying to change it, investing money but it goes beyond that imo. Theres a very clear mentality at everton. Talk the talk but dont walk the walk. The media belittle at any chance they get but maybe they are right to? The badge, the fans deserve a lot better. I know we only lost an away to Bournemouth, a big bogey team for us, but it represents that as much as we think/hope things are changing, the reality is they ain't. Same old same old.

Our metality is, as you say, rotten to the core. We are ultimateky a soft touch.

Moshiri is part of the problem, though. He was nowhere near big enough for this club. We needed a game changer and got a page turner.
 

Gomes, a miss the new dm injured a miss, not starting kean, a miss - he can and needs to have 2/3 of them playing
I created a thread early in the season on how midfield was dire and we'd suffer with it all season. It got slaughtered at first. I take nothing back
 
Cannot for the lufe if me understand his tactics away from home. They dont work. We are woeful at set pieces in attack and defense esp. Whatever he works on it is not acceptable.

Why doesnt he try something new like 442 away from home. 2 holding midfielders does not work for us either away. It hasnt now for so long and to continue with it is insane.

The way they today waltzed through our midfield, in such a simple way, was a sight to behold. It’s gonna happen every game. We were lucky against Watford. Also lucky Wolves have started equally as bad.

It's why Silva cant be credited fully with the poor dispalay at Villa and today.

The DoF is in the dock for this pathetic MF.

Watching that Keane interview last week and him saying that he loved playing at United because of the pressure and the expectation there. We simply don't have that. It's only the fans who put the demands on players and that's frowned upon.
