New Everton Manager

[TheBigIguana]

Some stats have use in football, but Expected Goals is the most pointless.

I enjoyed MikeH arguing that big chances created is enough without realizing that most place track that by totaling up chances greater than a certain xG

One thing this season has illustrated is how the presence of supporters in the ground influences the results.
When the supporters lose faith in you it can be tough, very tough to keep going even with the support of the board.
You can observe a manager literally appearing to age before your eyes during a bad run.
If the fans turn against you it affects the players on the pitch , they become nervous unable to perform the simplest tasks , exacerbating your problems.
In the worst cases it can spill out to the real world with acerbic comments directed at your family.
It takes a tough person to come through such a situation unscathed.
And that’s just generally , Evertonians can become far more toxic.

I think this theory probably ignores that Silva/Koeman/ Martinez were utterly woeful away from home near the end too

Expected goals. No idea how it’s calculated.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Way way way more to it now

For those advocating the Brighton boss....do your self a favour watch It's a Wonderful Life one of the greatest movies ever and tell me that you want Pottersville.

Lots of bars, casinos, whore houses and general debauchery.

I’m in.

Terrifying.

I don't like considering things that are complete guesswork. Sorry.

So says the one who has told the world and his uncle he’s never been to Goodison, yet he is somehow the only person on here who seems to know what impact the Goodison crowd could have on the psyche of the next manager!

Yes.

Like I say we still spend top 7 money so that is the minimum requirements. A lot of us can remember winning the league. Brighton fans don't have that issue.

We once took a manager from a promising Norwich side that had just finished 3rd and beat Inter Milan playing good football. That didn't work out well. Job was too big for him too.

Heard Bill wants Southgate after the Euros

Even away from home during a bad run we will have 2 to 3 thousand fans more than willing to inform a poorly performing manager or player what they think of him.
It’s a tough gig whichever way you look it.

Italian press reporting Pirlo as a contender.

Moshiri liked Joachim Low few years ago

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Yeah I get that. I'd just be really weary of ruling out a good candidate because of a tough to pin down intangible thing.

And like on Potter I'd think having his system work fairly well and not pull results but staying committed to it would be a point in the other direction, that he won't wilt when things aren't going his way.

But hey, who could possibly feel pressure at Brighton right?

I can tell just by looking at Potter he's a wet lettuce.

 

[blue to the bone]

Typical American arrogance

It's the way he is on every topic .
Trump like .

 

[EFCccc]

I think we will know who it is going to be by tomorrow.
