I just don't get this anti Portuguese league thing

1. Porto have been a top side in Europe for ages
2. Benfica have been - on-and-off a top side in Europe since the 50s
3. Sporting are a pretty decent side in Europe who can give anyone a good game
4. Braga aren't bad - they beat the RS in the Europa and nearly won it.

Occasionally other sides do ok in Europe as well. That's not exactly a million miles behind English level results in European club competition is it?

Yeah we were all over Sporting in the first leg but we blew it and Joao and mates gave us a footballing lesson in the 2nd leg. Benfica turned us over something rotten at Goodison (the 5-0 doesn't count as we had a ridiculously weak side on the pitch). Portugal has built some pretty decent national sides over the years - every bit as good if not better than our team.

Oh and btw Porto is a lovely city - actually Lisbon is too.

Part of the reason VP is probably rejected is his charisma doesn't match AVB and JM (hardly surprising). Perhaps he's too dour for the Portuguese psyche but he certainly gets the results one way or another and at least he has a reputation of attacking football. I suspect it is a gamble on our part but that's ok it's a good sign we go for this level of manager - you can only trade downwards or sideways from a position of weakness (not upwards). Look at the RS - they've not been getting the marquee names on and off the pitch these past few years have they?

Boa noite Portista, obrigado (I presume you're a male!)

all these people saying its not going to happen ... so what ... let us enjoy, thats the beauty of football/twitter/speculation ... its like brothels .. we all know its bad for your relationship but you keep going back
 

A quick recap on todays events Martinez has ****ed off to Spain to hump his mother inlaw as he has no Job offers but doesn't want to stay at Wigan as they are ****e.
Vitor the peoples choice is also waiting on a job offer as his chairman at Porto doesn't give a **** wether he goes or not.
Stubbs can not be trusted with the job as he would only sell the club to pay off his gambling debts.
We cant offer the job to Neville as he still wants to play and we cant risk him putting the shirt on again.

Its all points to David Weir being our next manager as he is cheap and a very nice bloke but unfortunately makes Walter Smith look like Mr Charisma.

Good Night all

Instead of #Everton's usual 4-4-1-1, if Porto's manager does come, it will most likely switch to Pereira's favored formation of a 4-3-3.


Dont know who this guy is but he's giving his insite on Pereira and tactics and things.

Thing is, Pereira plays 4-3-3 and it is essentially that in an attacking sense. He doesnt play 3 out and out strikers, he plays the one forward and 2 wide players. But when not in possesion of the ball, those wide players slot back into midfield and really make it a 4-5-1 formation.

His tactics arent too dissimilar to what managers deploy in the premier league and across Europe these days.

Nitpicking here:

The "2 wide players" upfront don't really play that wide. They aren't your traditional wingers that are always playing on width to get crosses. The most usual movements are inside cuts -hence why he's always played a left-footed on the right side and vice-versa- and they often swap positions with the 2 guys on the midfield. We often played prototypical center midfielders like Defour and Lucho there. The width was provided by the full backs, Danilo and Alex Sandro.

The 3 midfielders are organized in a triangle with a defensive midfielder (Fernando or Defour) playing behind two box-to-box (Moutinho and Lucho; sometimes Defour or James Rodriguez).
 

It would be SO un-everton of us to pull this off, but amazingly it could all be clicking into place.
Or it could be like davek says and all be a web of deceit and bullshoite.
 
The very bestest is on its way and hitting the ground at insane speeds.....flown in from the beaches of passion.
