I'm more of a guy who'd like to see people suffer and have zero excuses if things go wrong. Basically give them enough rope to hang themselves with. That's a combined effort of Silva, Brands, and Mosh.

A bit like Brexit.

Unfortunately mate , if we give him that much time , with the fixtures coming up , we may be doomed.
Especially as it gives his successor no time to assess what he has inherited , and work with Brands effectively through the transfer window.
With this squad , we simply should not be in this position.

The thing is mate he does know his best team, formation and plan

Its currently and has been for a while

Pickford
Coleman
Kean
Mina
Digne
Richarlison
Delph
Morgan (swap for Gomes)
Iwobi
Gylfi
DCL

Formation 4231

Plan get it out wide, cross, hope for the best

Problem with the above team, formation and plan, that even though that's all his favourite, it's absolutely crap and doesn't work

So the worrying thing for me is that he believes the above is the right thing which is why he isn't changing anything at all.

Spot on. He is in total denial that his system/team doesn’t work! We never attack with pace through the middle and we are easy to defend against, even if we dominate. Get Iwobi and Kean in the middle and bin off Schnides forever and Sig for the near future. Bernard could work well on the wing, with these 2 in the middle alongside him. Rico has looked poor for a few games now, but he could do better with other players who can run alongside him. Ffs Marco wake up and start making the most of what you have, instead of slow patterns that rarely work. If you insist on playing the way we have, then get the players to up the intensity by about 200% and while you’re at it, look a bit more interested yourself!

It said everything about it when Sheffield Uniteds manager comes out and says they changed tactics because he knew what we would do.

Everything is in stupid squares, as far down the wing as we can followed by 2 or 3 players passing it around each other in a dumb triangle followed by either a back pass to a full back and along the back 4 to the other side or a cross. Its championship tactics at best, be ok if it was once in a while but every attack, it cant work, it's never worked.

I just can't see it changing either mate.

He's under massive pressure now, West Ham a "must win" and great if we do, but what happens if we lose to Brighton away, then the next match is "must win" and so on.

Like someone mentioned a page ago, we are 50 games into his tenure and what we should be seeing is consistency, better performances, one player get sinjured and another one comes in and does just as good a job etc etc.

We are seeing slow, laboured, weak looking, unfit both mentally and physically looking players with no plan and once we go a goal down we are absolutely screwed

Agree
Reasons to sack now:
He doesn't do anything differently despite five losses in six.
He doesn't try any different players.
He doesn't drop players who play badly and pck ones that are in form.
No different tactics.
No different formation.
His subs are reactive and never work.
We never come back from behind.
We never win away.
Keeping him will prove nothing. We will limp to 15th at best by keeping this absolutely idiot.

Nothing to do with algebra.

Moving averages is mainly used to predict when a share price has hit a new low point and will then start to increase in value. Looking at that chart we are due to reverse our poor fortunes imminently soon.

Mac Let us be quite clear the next half dozen games are must win or at least not lost.
 
From The Guardian's stats article:

Everton run out of ideas
While Nuno is bringing the best from his players late in games, his countryman Marco Silva is struggling to get a full shift from his players. Everton have only scored six goals in the league this season and just one of them has come in the second half – funnily enough, it was against Wolves. The fact that Everton have only scored two goals with their feet (the worst return in the league) also suggests the team are short of solutions in attack.
 
3) Silva looks on borrowed time
Marco Silva claims he received Farhad Moshiri’s full support when they met last week and Everton’s majority shareholder will have had no reason to change tack despite Saturday’s defeat at Burnley. “All the feedback I had, it all goes this way,” said Silva when asked if Moshiri still craved stability with him as manager. “If they saw the game, and for sure they saw it, they can analyse and they saw the same things as me. I don’t believe things have changed.” Silva’s assessment of Everton’s performance, however, was wildly upbeat. Everton, with a starting lineup costing more than £250m, were woeful from start to finish. The clock is ticking on the uninspiring manager of an uninspiring team and given Moshiri’s track record of poor appointments, the director of football, Marcel Brands, should be left with responsibility for finally getting one right. Andy Hunter

Yes Marco, it hasn't changed - it's still wank.
 
A big bust up on the coach going home after Burnley apparently. Some staff had to get off the coach and get a taxi the rest of the way.
