David Unsworth - Temporary Manager

Basically limping through to january without getting into the relegation spots and getting much needed new players is about all I'm realistically hoping for whether its unsy or someone else. This squad is awful.

Exactly, and that has been VERY important.

To be fair to him, he has at the very least made that gang of crap look like they actually care now.

One thing that could be a big plus about him doing the temp thing for a period before hopefully soon we bring in a new permanent manager, certain players have stood out like a sore thumb and presuming a new manager will have noted which ones cba playing for Koeman and couldn't be arsed playing for a caretaker as well

Schneiderlin a big example there

Really strange again today.
Started with two wingers away at Palace. Madness.
They play direct football to their front two so you'd think we'd look to have an extra body in the middle of the pitch who is snappy and can put a foot in. I.e. Davies.
Half time comes and he goes 4-4-2. Davies and Gueye in the middle, flogged after 10 mins of the second half. As the game became stretched, you could see Davies was knackered, seen in his decision making on the ball.
We played Kenny yet he didn't step foot over the half way line until the last minute cross for Ramirez.
It's just all very strange from Unsworth. I maintain that he's trying to make big statements in his team selection "we are everton, you're just Leicester / Palace so I'm going to play a team to take the game to you and there's nothing you can do about it".
So so naive.
Lovely chap, perhaps will make a fantastic manager but he's failed the interview imo.
It can't be Unsworth.

This indeed.

Much more eloquent than my grumpy OUT shouts.

We're in this position because Koeman turned our squad into the worst and most unbalanced in the league.

But Unsworth has proved himself to be a miracle worker. He's proved me wrong.

His record in these five matches speaks for itself.

If we put his games into points his record in the last 5 games is 4 points from a possible 15. That we be around 30 points for the season and relegated, if you used that as a bench mark over 38 games. He's out of his depth. We need an experienced manager. Shouldve been done 2 weeks ago, the board are now playing with fire.

Yep. It's poor right now, but it's not wasted. We managed to get a few points and the players by and large are proving they are up for it.

Silva can hopefully give a boost and then January's window will be crucial.
 
At least Unsy is saying 'this is my style and the way I set up my teams'. His teams will have an identity. Doing himself no harm for a management role somewhere. But not sure his preferred style what we need right now.

Absolutely. The effort is definitely there.
We just aren't capable of creating an attack.
Silva needs to focus on the shape of the team because currently it's purely endeavour that's keeping us above the drop zone.

I would expect a few percent improvement when Silva comes in, but it's going to need more players in to transform this.

Koeman has decimated this club. He's been an utter disaster.

At first I thought it was purely the striker issue mate but today proved that we just aren't being guided by management.
Niasse, Rooney, Sig, Klaassen, Ramirez.
Are we seriously suggesting it's impossible to shape something around these players?
Get Silva in asap
 
He's giving it his best and is trying different tactics but it's not working. Throwing Vlasic and Klaassen in the bin the way he has reeks of something Moyes would have done. Someone who only giving chances to his favourites and wants to squeeze as many grafters in as he can isn't what I want from a manager.

He isn't ready for a task as big as this yet and the club need to wrap this search up ASAP.

He's doing well when you consider how poor the squad is.

Can you name me someone who might do better?
