New Everton Manager

[Charles Hawtrey]

From the BS Red Echo....
"Everton are yet to make any contact with Rafael Benitez but his name has been discussed by the club's decision-makers.

The 61-year-old has been talked about by Farhad Moshiri and the Everton board of directors as they continue their search for Carlo Ancelotti's replacement at Goodison Park."

Where do you see that he is the favourite?

THe report on Pellegrini in the Mail on line

Bet on Eddie howe suspended in my PP app

What, better than the thinking behind signing a 19 year old for peanuts?

You aren't comparing like with like. Dom wasn't signed as a first teamer was he?!

 

[LocalNative]

he said 'the thinking behind it'

Wasn't the thinking behind signing DCL for £1.5m better?

'No Chance, moving on' still qualifies as talked about I suppose lol

Also he signed and went straight into the first team, making 11 appearances from Jan til the end of the season. Before playing 44 times in his first full season.

Anyway. Let's go all in on Galtier.

Out of all the names being linked apart from Gailtier, I’d rather get Martinez back.

And I can’t stress how much I really don’t want Martinez back.

 

[blue to the bone]

About bloody time he was mentioned.
Standards are slipping.

He was considered before we appointed Koeman.
From what I read, Moshiri considered him washed up and lacking in enthusiasm.

I don't think he'll be coming here, 5 years on.

The thinking behind signing a player to fill a role in the first team I imagine is what he was referring to. DCL was a great signing but took a while to break in. The thinking behind signing Maupay for a first team role is better than buying 4 No10s and everybody's captain but still having no leader.

not as a striker though.
I'd be happy with Galtier lol

 

[Egil Olsen]

But you could just watch the match to see that your strikers are missing chances?

Well, this is exactly where probability is very useful. We tend to overestimate how big the chances really are. Based on empirical data, we can quantify, on average, how great the chance really is.

We also know that the really good players perform better than the model over time, and we can therefore extrapolate - within a reasonable deviation - that Brighton would have had many more goals if Kane had been their No. 9.

However, that is not the most interesting. The most interesting thing is that Brighton actually creates these chances without Kane. We can therefore say that Brighton have an effective attacking pattern, and if they pick up one or two quality players will only get even better.

Had the team had a style of play, which created few chances, then for example a player like Kane would have made less of a difference.

….don’t think this is live from USM FF, but it might start a new rumour:
