Oh and shakhtar in the Ukraine league and us in the premier league can’t be compared
Really ... mate we’re [Poor language removed] [Poor language removed] yet unbelievably we sit mid table in the PL. says a lot about the other teams in this league.

There are 5 real teams in this league and the rest are utter garbage,

Watch the video of how Shaktar and Fonseca schooled Man City and tell me you wouldn’t like an Everton side to play that way.

i would love an Everton side to play like that ? Were did I say different?
 
It won't happen , but if Moshiri is truthful when he infers that money is no object, he should hitch up his skirts tonight and give the Russians whatever it takes to get Fonseca. Then he should sack our current management team and Walsh with immediate effect and appoint a top quality DoF.
That would show ambition. That would show intent.
They won't because they're full of BS and waffle.
 
My point is he could do a job for us in the PL and he would do a proper job.

He would give us an identity, a style of play and a system that players understand.

We had Martinez who had a philosophy and a style. Unfortunately his system had a major flaw (the requirement to defend).

Then came Koeman who sadly didn’t have a clue at all and left the day to day running of training to his imbecilic brother.

So whoever comes in has their work cut out, but Fonseca is the one who can bring order from the chaos.
 

Why he'd be my choice:

He has a defined style of play:

Goalkeeper (always a good start)
The full backs provide the width and need to be able to get up and down the pitch
Two centre backs whose main job is to defend
Two high energy central midfielders whose main job is to take the ball off the centre backs and get the ball to the players higher up the pitch.
Two attacking midfielders whose job is to create "magic" - they are expected to dribble, play through balls, do the unexpected
One withdrawn attacker who plays box to box making a midfield 3 when defending and arriving late into the box to score
One out and out striker

I find it hard to fit our current players into any system but at least this would be something to work towards!

Indeed...and kenfraud and elstone would still be there...reminiscing all misty eyed about the Moyes years...get them out of this club!!

So all we need is a completely new squad, Pickford aside. I agree by the way.
 
Why don't we go for Conte if we want to make a statement?...more high profile than Fonseca or Tuchel. We have the money....don't we? Eh? Oh wait..:cool:

True. I hate it when we switch formations all of the time. It never works either.

They might understand it but will they be able play it...or will we have to buy a new team
 
why do some blues think we can attract top quality managers?
Lot of posters on here think Fonseca and Tuchel are top class managers and nothing wrong with that IMO. At some stage we need to change our attitude as a club...if you don't we will stagnate further. You don't ask...you don't get.
