Certain styles need certain types of players. He hasn't had a chance to get all of them yet and the players are still adapting to them but it is obvious for all to see we are a better team footballing wise. Let us judge more accurately next season when he will have less excuses and will have what is closer to a team that can play his style.

Yeah I'm quite sure silva style needs young, energetic players.. Prepared to run 7km every game..

We have lots of those, he just needs to coach them up to his standard..

Bit like what pep and kluppity do.

That is all dependent on the players quality. Klopp and Pep have bought the players that are vital to there style of play and Pep and Klopp already had better quality players to take on. They didn't have to build as much as Silva needs to

I'm not seeing much improvement. Not in player or team performance.

Short memories.

Don't you remember any games from last season? Southampton. Arsenal (twice). United. Liverpool. Spurs. Atalanta. Lyon. Leicester.

All of those games significantly worse than anything we've seen this season. Some of the worst performances I've seen from an Everton team since the 90s in there.

So many of the victories last season came from worse performances than some of the draws and losses we've had this season. You can see it in the data as well as with your own eyes.

As for the players, there are two cases: changing personnel and improving incumbent players.

The personnel changes have been a resounding success; not one poor signing. In a typical starting XI this season, who has remained: Pickford, Keane, Coleman, Gana, Walcott. Keane vastly improved. Pickford still performing at a high level. The rest as last year, if not arguably a bit better. Coleman a special case.

The turnaround in atmosphere, performance, threat, and entertainment in just 16 matches is beyond what we would have expected at the start of the season. I'm not saying there are no negatives. There are. But the future of this team -- players and management -- is something to be very positive about at long last.

We were fortunate to escape the Koeman Moonhead era with Premier league status intact. We should perhaps be thankful to the Gravy Monster for showing us what anti-football looks like and shutting the expansive pie-holes of the 'points at any cost' brigade. I think Silva is trying really hard but he is used to having players who can dominate the competition in Greece or in Portugals 2nd tier perhaps. We are a long way from that team although the Midfield of Gana, Gomes and Gylfi is showing serious promise, yesterday we didnt have that midfield strength and it showed.
Looking at the way he was instructing Davies before he came on shows that he is teaching all the time the younger guys how to play in this system.
this does not happen overnight. At our low points last season we would have shipped 4 or 5 away at a rampant City, I think we caught them early on before they and we got fully going in our opposing directions.
Be more patient, Silva's Everton will click and when it happens we will be able to make the next step we are all patiently waiting for.

City were troubled by us yesterday, make no mistake about that. We can create, we just cant convert.

If Brands doesn't sort a very decent striker out in January then I have my answer on him.

I've liked the post because I agree with the first part.

You're second part is ridiculous. But okay.

Lookman aside our bench is horrific.

Sat on West Hams bench when everyone is fit is Hernandez, Antonio, Carroll, Obiang, Snodgrass who would all be upgrades on what we have on ours and can all come off the bench and make an impact.

Snodgrass has actually established himself as a important first team player this season.
 

First off I want our team to be hard to beat and breakdown.. And also a team that attack with confidence and pace and are clinical.

What we have is a shambles at the back for the most part and shambolic upfront.

Over to you marcus

Lukaku was sold two summers ago and everyone knew that Koeman made a balls up of replacing him and Alardyce followed suit. The summer just gone was the moment to sort that out.

If it isn't sorted out in January that is a scandalous waste of a season.
