Simeone would fit the club like a glove mate sadly we'll never see him rock up here.
We definitely need a blood and thunder type manager - posession based tappy football just doesnt work for us.
Simeone would fit most clubs well mate.

can statsbomb please explain why we are incapable of winning a game when we go behind
I like Silva and we have not got the rub of the green so far. When the injured return and younger players have some games in, we might actually have some depth. Stick with it.last three league games:
-came back 0-1 down to Brighton to go ahead 2-1
-came back 0-1 down to Spurs to draw 1-1
-came back after Southampton equalizer to win 2-1
if not for that VAR atrocity at Brighton we would have rescued 6 points in 3 games
I curse us out as much as anyone. We lack ruthlessness in finishing, don't do well in taking our chances, can't win away etc etc.
But tbf everything that can go wrong, has, since the start of the season, and we're not dead.
I feel like Silva's pulling it together. The team is showing some fight. Not coincidentally since he's started playing the kids IMO.
The new Everton
Adding imaginary points to our points tally.
What a time to be alive.
It's all good throwing stats about but we've played awful apart from West Ham, Brighton was okay and we murdered Southampton first half, We had to hang on to beat one of the worst teams in the league and looked pathetic against a Watford side who didn't want to win, All these stats are against teams who aren't even that good...We've played one decent team in City. He has turned it around and got results recently and that's what matters but when it comes to the big sides playing like we do against Southampton and Spurs ain't gonna bag us any points.
not quite sure where to put this but this thread seems as good as any. make of it what you will, but always interesting to read blues stuff from a neutral, knowledgeable source.
I agree about Richarlison. He is great when he is on form, but he has an annoying habit of going down, when he could benefit massively by trying to carry on!I should add that I want Marco to get on our players about diving. Not because it isn’t a part of the game, but our players are terrible at it and they squander great opportunities by hitting the deck.
Richarlison infuriates me because he picks the absolute worst times to try it when he could very easily stay on his feet and slot. Pick and choose your moments lads

????? what. They had 1 shot on target and beat us 2-0.Wolves are good and we beat them. We drew Palace and lost to Sheffield Utd but those results don't look as dire as they looked at the time, especially re: the Blades who are the surprise team of the season.
The Villa, Bournemouth, and Burnley games were poor but we could have had some points out of them with a clinical finish here or there, which I guess is the point of that StatsBomb pience.
But he's right that the result doesn't look as bad isn't he? You said we've only played one good side, so you're discounting Spurs, presumably on the basis that they're having a poor season. But then you're not doing the same in reverse and including sides who are doing better than expected as good sides. The performance against Sheffield United was dire, but the fact they haven't lost an away game yet does mean that the result itself has to be looked at in a slightly different context now.????? what.

Perhaps "Bigger than the clubs we have played so far" would be a good compromiseYeah you have jumped from the early 70s to the 90s for arsenal there. Football can go in cycles. But this is a no win one. I dont class them as a much bigger club. I went every home and away games v arsenal for years when i was younger and we certainly were not playing against a much bigger club. Many of those games they were dross. That whole club changed under wenger granted.
The fixture list coming up in december is not full of everton playing bigger clubs. I stand by that.
Does it? Even Wilder said it was the worst they've played and they beat us comfortably beat us 2-0, That result is almost Milwall tier for me. It was embarrassing all around. Sheff United performing better than expected doesn't change it for me.But he's right that the result doesn't look as bad isn't he?
