2019/20 Marco Silva

[Lelouch]

Don’t think so - he recovered from last seasons nadir by having a good run.

He got a pass for most stuff last season or at least from me, But why is he having to turn it around AGAIN? That's the alarming thing.

Cheap that mate , its about a Bolassie or Klassen.
I personnally dont think this squad needs a lot adding to it , but of course a new guy wants his own too.
But then again if Silva stayed he'd just carry on spending and we end up same place.
It'll be done soon enough.

There are serious holes in the squad. Silva said all summer that he wanted Zouma or a similar player, a left footed winger and a striker. Brands has failed him on all 3 fronts (I know we got Moise Kean but he’s more for the future not to hit the ground running this season). We also sold Gana and his replacement has been injured, as has Gomes which left us playing with a totally unbalanced midfield. Yes he could have tried to do something different with the team but it’s not all Silva’s fault.
We’ve got long term problems that can’t be sorted with a quick fix sacking.

Because he’s rubbish! (Based on his record)

 

[Toffeelover]

A HT sacking would be a first.

Might as well be first some thing in the Pl in the current climate. Will we get a silverware for it?

 

[Lob]

Makes no difference to me if he wins against West Ham or however many games he wins in the future. I am completely done with him and wont be satisfied till he is gone. The man is absolutely clueless and incapable and should not be managing Everton. No amount of future wins can change the abysmal and embarrassing first 2 months of this season in which he was dealt a very favourable start and put us straight into the relegation zone. And its not like its something new either because he had a very poor run last season too. This season is just more of the same and it should be pretty obvious to everyone now that this is who he is and he isn't the right man to take us forward.

I just hope that the Everton board have already decided that he has to go and will pull the trigger as soon as they have someone lined up.

That may be true, but a good coach also gets the most from what he has. There is no way Bobby Robson would be struggling with this squad.

Lad we’re the only team in the prem without a striker. Bobby Robson? Erm... I don’t think he’s available for the job these days.

Its a squad of full internationals most playing regularly for top international teams make no mistake .The set up , the tactics ,reluctance to change and set pieces are whats costing us.
Yes we should have got an experienced striker and another centre half , but every manager bar Klopp & Pep want more players.
Bottom line this squad should be no where near bottom of the table.

Agree with that. We've got legacy issues going as far back as when Martinez started building a squad. Walsh and Jughead making an absolute mess of the squad afterwards.

If Glbammo and Gomes were fit all season I think we'd be looking at a much different Everton side right now. We've unfortunately had to rely on the dregs of the previous era.

Yes Silva has plenty of faults. Mostly visible through the regression of the squad on set pieces and absence of a plan B. Still though, I don't think a sacking will get us anywhere at this point. Unless there's a top tier manager willing to step in I think we should back him.

International break.
Most players away.
Strange board meetings.
Good proven managers available .

Just a matter of time Dave...he's gone.

Strange board meetings?

Oh boy.

 

[davek]

beating west ham isn't gonna convince me that he's the right man for us no, I'd need a lot more than that to convince me he can take us higher considering how badly he's messed it up so far.

I'm sure your thoughts will be exercising the minds of those in the corridors of power at Everton.

We didn't even get one for 72 points.

 

[DanB90]

Is this current run of form worse than when Koeman and Martinez were sacked?

Genuine question btw, I remember us being complete toilet towards the end of both reigns, but can’t remember just how bad of a run we were on, results-wise.

 

[blulouie]

Strange board meetings?

Oh boy.

Well Brands was seen on a train coming back from a board meeting in London.
Strange it wasnt in the new big swanky boardroom in the Liver buildings.

From Honest Luke on Twitter mate.
He's a big blue so he must be right.

None of the other managers had it as "easy" as Roberto Silva tho.
