When Moyes first arrived he didn’t look “ happy” but he looked hungry , focused and whenever he spoke he was ambitious. After he signed his second Co tract , the time when he was stalling and demanding backing from bill and giving us a chance to join him and voice our views, he signed that piece of paper and basically sold his soul and agreed to work with no budget but got a massive pay rise. When he came he was one of the lowest paid in the league , 420k a year of my memory serves me right

It really isn't though is it? A role of a coach is different to the role of a manager. You can coach a player to be better but that doesn't mean you are well equipped as a tactician does it? Look at Mike Phelan, did most of the day to day coaching at Man Utd under Ferguson but when it came to being a manager didn't quite work for him.
Richarlison is the obvious one, that boy has talent and has improved technically over the time he's been with Silva (but I cant bare Silva's idea of playing Richarlison wide right, tactically its illogical). While not a good premier league striker, DCL has become a better player. Digne has steadied himself, established himself as a top premier league player, we got him for relatively cheap but didn't quite cut it at barca, (al be it due to teh World #1 LB), roma and psg?.
I'm not defending Silva, I think he's remarkably lucky to be in the job after his 3 wins in 16 games spell last year, but im pointing out that the players by all reputable accounts like him and he appears to be a good coach, just not a good Manager. Also should be noted players improvements can be down to the other coaches as well.
Silva always looks like he's about to burst into tears Matty in his interviews.
Wasn’t that his goals ratio too?

You don’t get time in this league I’m afraid mate. He will be judged on now and not what may or may not happen in the future.

Correct. Lesson learnt with koeman in that we need someone lined up and no caretakers.
Someone put a link on here the other week from a Watford fan before Silva joined us, he was saying something along the lines of, when things are going tits up on the pitch Silva just doesn't seem capable of motivating or instilling any fight into players.

This certainly appears to be true, but where’s the leadership in the locker room or on the pitch? Lots of blame to go around. Unless of course they’ve quit on him, which is a distinct possibility.

Yup, completely agree. We have seen exactly that.
As @GrandOldTeam said the other week, it's ridiculous if the hierarchy are judging him game by game, he should be judged on whether he is good enough to manage us full stop.
The players take their fair share of the blame as well mate.
It's probably got to the point with the players ( like it has with us fans) that they are scratching their heads as to why Silva keeps playing the same tactics week in, week out, when they're obviously not working.
I dont think they are judging him from game to game.
Hes under fire now cos we have suffered 4 on the bounce.

I told my friend (the only other local Everton supporter I know) to please text me the starting XI when it's announced (6:30am here) so I know if I should get out of bed or not lol
And no point firing him with out a replacement lined up.
Not the mess like the sacking of koeman
I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but I can't make the game tomorrow so I've let one of my lads mates from Uni use my season ticket (he's a Wolves fan)
