OK mate.......do you fancy the job when Silva has gone because you seem like you know better than them and everyone else. Maybe you should extract yourself from your own anus slighty to get a better view

I disagree with Silva on one thing and think he's still got a bit to prove after 1 eighth place finish so I'm suggesting I could do a better job? Well I couldn't.

But I dont understand the logic of saying Koeman and Allardyce were poor managers and also using the fact that they didn't rate someone as proof that the player is poor. That still doesn't mean I could step in and do the job.

Well there has been 4 managers who haven’t fancied him at all so there must be some truth in it.

I would suspect that when you have one manager not fancying a player they are saying it as you say for the fans to turn on the player but when four managers have gave him a wide birth I would think he is lazy and crap in training

4 managers haven’t given him a wide berth, all 4 managers didn’t feel safe enough in their jobs to throw a young and untested player in, because they couldn’t afford a poor performance.

Guardiola can chuck in young players in key games because if it goes wrong, their neck isn’t on the line. None of our previous managers have had that security. It’s also fair to say that none of the previous managers have particularly good track records with young or attacking / flair players.

Again, without speaking for the lad, I don’t believe anyone is or has said “Lookman has a great attitude” OR “The problem definitely lies with Silva” as nobody can know those things.

However, people are definitively stating that Lookman is a bad egg based on one statement that one person has made. I’m just saying that it’s not hard to dispute that assertion given how eager Leipzig (a Champions League team with a history of developing excellent young players) have been to sign the lad.

Silva said he’s lazy and crap in training. Therefore he must be lazy and crap in training.

Mad that people blindly accept what he says as “fact” rather than:

A) Silva’s subjective perception / opinion of AL (which may differ from others)
B) Silva pushing an agenda that he’s lazy as the reason he isn’t playing him, so fans are more willing to blame the player when he inevitably leaves - rather than questioning the mismanagement of a quality young player.

It is wild how people have taken the coaching cliche Silva used about needing to do more in training to play as absolute gospel that justifies the kid never getting chances. But you're right it is easier for everyone to blame the guy leaving and not have to blame the club for the three year management clown show.

I love the way people make out like he's some world class talent that Silva is holding back for absolute giggles.

The lad doesn't want to be here he has made it blatantly clear he doesn't want to be here and has even said he needed to sort his attitude out in September.

I remember last summer posting cryptic messages with songs titles and plane emojis.

The lad has talent but has the wrong attitude imo. Seems to expect to be in the first team rather then getting his head down and working his ass off to get in the first team.

Like I said the lad has talent but will never reach his potential the way he's going. Which is a massive let down because the lad has shown flashes of being a proper edge of your seat player.

You seem to have a special talent of being up your own anus yet still being able to talk out of your anus lol.

They were poor managers tactically but surely still able to recognise a good player IMO

Popping off everywhere, this is gonna be the best 3 weeks EVER.

They played Rooney in central midfield and forced Sigurdsson to play wide.

Allardyce spent 25m on Tosun. Koeman spent similar on Klaassen. Excuse me for questioning their judgment.

3 more days hopefully until this thread is closed .

How can you know a player is lazy or has a bad attitude based on a couple of instagram posts that may or may not have anything to do with Football?

He shouldn't think he's entitled to anything but at the same time I can see why he would start to feel a little overlooked when the people in front of him were delivering preciously little. And he might not reach his potential. That's a risk with every young player. But there is so much there that our management of him was poor. If nothing else the blame for his failure here should be spread around. It isn't all on him.

Didn't Koeman get Pickford, Keane, Gana, Siggy.

Is your judgement more qualified than our 2 previous and current manager. Something is defo amiss with Lokkman to get so very few opportunities and when 1 manager points out an attitude problem in training then I am inclined to believe him. He might be a superstar in the making but he certainly doesn't want to put the effort in at Everton.

Silva has complained about him in training, the lad himself has said he needs to sort his attitude out last September and every manager he has worked with hasn't fancied him.

And (Gana aside) what roaring successes they’ve all been....

I know for a fact the lad has a stinking attitude and has had for pretty much the whole time he's been here. He tried saying he was homesick at first then decided the best cure for that was to move 600 miles away to another country.

But yeah, the lads a diamond lol

Can't get him out the door quick enough for me

Silva said so more or less. Not applying himself in training.
