Stepping away from the expected fume of the weekend here.
The jury is out on Silva sure, signs pointing to average manager yet sparks of last season suggest a good one. We lack consistency away from home which is down to Silva but at goodison we look unbeatable at times.
Being a Martinez out kind of guy, it's the bigger picture I prefer to look at .
Silva is hamstrung still by the squad he has at his disposal. Sure he has signings and many of them in there now but he also lacks depth and strength at the same time. Take for example Davies/schniederlin/niasse/lewen/tosun/Walcott. These players aren't the same level as some of the newer faces and these are from a previous regime. Yet without spending another 200 million, it's hard to replace them within 12 months and still have a squad capable of getting results.
Last season Silva had half a squad. This season he has a lack of depth and lack of key players with the loss of gueye and no starting striker to play. We are still transitioning and sadly for us, we have some boss players who will demand more than that.
Combined with the loss of our first choice cm pairing so early on, it has left us resorting to type again and this is the result.
We get some consistency and I reckon the season will be a great one. But people can't also moan that we are crap when schniederlin is the only viable back up we have. We spent over 50 million on new CMS. Just unfortunate that they are both injured.....

I haven't seen anyone play as open as we do away from home, except Man City.
The space to counter attack us is ridiculous. Especially with slow defenders. The lack of game awareness is frightening. I've came to the conclusion that he is scared to drop a big name attacker.

100% agree that we are miles to open away from home, the formula that works best is sit in and counter that’s the usual successful method of most successful away teams in England.
Unfortunately Silva like Martinez believes in total football home and away high press lots of gaps and no protection for the back line, essentially with the side we’ve got we are guaranteed to concede away from home with our style but don’t have the squad to out score the opposition either, result is defeat.

Thing is thou Martinez had worse players but had a better idea how to do it.
No way can Silva go Old Trafford and get that result, just like the time Silva came to Goodison with Watford and was clueless.
He's playing the same way that we did with Gana. That's exactly what he can't do.
We've only had one game where he's been able to play Delph-Gomes which in fairness isn't his fault. But you can't just keep playing the same way as you could with one of the world's best defensive mids. It's ludicrous.
Three away games all exactly the same. We play a completely different style at home which is absolutely mental that he's so obsessed with possession away.

As if Mourhino would join us. Who ever thought of this needs to lay of the drugs. Got more chance of us being managed by Mr Bean.

You missed out DCL on that not good enough list, but he still plays. Also Silva could have a fully fit Real Madrid best 11 at his disposal and I still wouldn’t fancy getting a result let’s say away at Sheffield Utd. His poor but his biggest problem is no plan B and he is clueless when things aren’t going right, no excuse for it we need much better.

In the context of - until we are able to get what Aletico got with Simone; Spurs got with Potchettino; Leeds got with Bielsa - I don't think the club made the right decision in getting Silva.
While we keep searching for someone like the above, in the meantime we need a manger who is going to do, or not do, the following:
While the Dof goes about improving the quality of the squad, set the side up to the strengths of players he's got. I don't see why we need a manager right now to bring in a very specific type of system which the players must adapt to, and as a consequence, the pool of players the club goes after is shrunk to fit that system. What if the manager is no good? Your two steps further back, your likely to need to offload players brought in by manager, bc it doesn't fit into next managers style. Round and round ya go and to the detriment of the player's mentality.
I don't accept that every manager's brings his own personal style of football to the table, and if they do, right now, they should be shown the door.
Imo I think we need a simplified 433 where players know what each other is about and get on with playing football. Bring in a ball busting manager who'll bring leadership and commitment and most importantly teach the players to win.
There were two moments on Sunday that said everything about where Silva has not taken this team.
1) Richarlison's worldy attempt onto the bar.
Nice work from Delph and Sig, Delph putting a sublime pass for Richarlison to turn inside, Richarlison equal to the task get himself into the space.
Wtf is DCL doing. If Silva had brought a winning mentality, the forwards would have been sniffing all that space Bournmouth leaves in behind, all day long. DCL's weighting is on the wrong foot when Richarlison takes his touch, his movement is hesitant, delayed and ultimately negative. By the time Richarlison takes his second touch and DCL has moved positively, the opportunity to get in behind, 1 on 1 with keeper, is wasted.
And because the 4231 is constantly compensating for Silva's plans, Iwobi is too deep. Its DCL marked up or a worldy from Richarlison. The forwards needed to be pounding that area. And this is when they do have space. Without it Silva has given them nothing but confusion.
2) Bournemouth's 3rd
No decent manager has his players end up defending a throw in like that. It doesn't get worse than that imo. You can say all you want about BFS but you'd never get that rubbish from him. That's literally what you see from under a poor under 10s team. They are playing like kids and Silva's management at times feels bereft of professionalism.
His pressing game is an utter failure. Just like the zonal marking, Silva pressing leads to confusion and inability to deal with some of the basics, whether it be getting in behind or defending the centre.

Just realized our only two wins this season have been at home to the bottom two sides, and even those didn’t look easy. Might be a rough season.

Yeah its grim, everyone got excited when the fixtures came out, how they had been kind to us and we had a great chance to rack up some early points.
