Vitor Pereira

I can’t imagine our players are going to respect him one bit.

This is the problem.

As a fan base we verge between the two. Ancelotti, maybe even Allardyce seemed to know the limitations of the players, so when they played in a way fans deemed as ‘negative’ and we’re in mid table they copped criticism for it.

If a manager asks these players to do anything tactically difficult to lead to better football, they can’t do it and results implode. The fans then call for us to shore things up and get into mid table.

The common denominator is we just need better players to give managers more tactical options so they have more ways to win games.

It's less to do with the style of the football and more the mentality. Allardyce's bleh football would have been tolerated far more if he didn't set us up in a damage control set-up whenever we played a good team.

All most Evertonians ask is that we actually try and win with some sort of a gameplan, even if that gameplan is soaking up the pressure and making counter attacks count like Ancelotti did during that win at Anfield.

Negative tactics and negative attitude are different things, which is something the Allardyce fans could seemingly never grasp.

Wish people would stop spray painting Goodison.

It doesn’t really help anything. The fans need to get behind the manager and team for the rest of the season. By all means protest against the board and Moshiri but the team needs everyone’s backing.

I think it was an Arsenal away game where I lost the plot. He clearly set up happy to take a 2 nil loss.

He played a flat back 5, and 4 in midfield and I think we were 4 down inside about 12 minutes.

A more recent example of something similar was Benitez against Brighton. The tactics were negative, but the mentality was even worse. There was no intention to even spring on the counter attack.

Of course not

Maybe if he'd come in back in 2013 following his time at Porto, but with the lousy managerial career he's had since then I doubt he's going to turn many heads when he strolls into training, especially if he's abrasive and wacky from the off

I imagine for the players it’s all downhill from Ancelotti. Going from one of the most decorated managers in history and a father figure to many, to Benitez and now this. I imagine a lot will be considering their futures. Although I’m past caring about most of them.

I remember that, Mangala’s debut lol

The players didn’t respect Ancelotti either, they were happy to down tools on him mid way through the season.

On the bright side: Entertaining times ahead. Fall outs with players (Can´t imagine they will take him for real and respect him), fall outs with the fans and the media.

Will be a real circus.

The saddest thing about that was people trying to defend that signing after seeing what a mess he was at City.

That signing stunk of brown envelopes too.

Sounds a bit chicken and egg.

So which do we employ first, chicken or the egg ?

Moyes/Allardyce/Dyche etc. probably suit our current players and we aren't buying a whole new team any time soon.

And the fume for a Dyche would be on par with these.

I can’t imagine our players are going to respect him one bit.

I can see them listening to him intently on his first day Until Richarlison whispers under his breath to Mina "Is he wearing an armband?"

Once that happens he is as good as done.

Are you looking for RAWK mate?

No buddy I am looking for a website for celebrating Vitor Pereira in the form of some sort of puzzle. It looks like I have arrived at the right place.
