Everton Brands Appointment Confirmed

His summer activities left us with players coming in late and with long term injury worries with two of the incomers. We should be top 6 given the teams we've faced and would have been if we'd had a dominant CB and ceative midfielder.

Down to him and him alone we're on 9 points and 11th.
Lol
 
Txt book lol
It's true. The manager was underwhlemed by being left to start pre-season the week the season started.

Barcelona had him off and we've had an average start because of it.

Look at the recruitment (forget about the players got shut of...most of which haven't been got shut of at all - just given away on the cheap for a season). It was the definition of hit and miss.

Over 2 months into the season and we can only now assess the job Brands did. Digne and Richarlison are hits. Good job on that. Bernard - maybe a player for us, maybe not; Zouma - poor-to-bang-average; Gomes and Mina? Who knows. A waste of cash at this stage.

4/10 for me.

kin bed and ban you klank...
 
Richarlison and Digne are the type of quality that we need to progress, they just look like footballers that wouldn’t be out of place at the top level.

Bernard looks like he could be a great little signing and a proper footballer albeit he has only made a handful of substitute appearances.

Early doors with Zouma but his physical presence alone makes him look a cut above what we were putting out last season.

Mina and Gomes are obviously still yet to play but given the quality of the other signings you’d back them to deliver, won’t be surprised if all 6 of Marcel’s signings are starting in a few weeks time.
 
wouldnt put moyes in with them lot.
he made some bad decisions against the top 4 (as it was then) granted and wasnt great in europe, fiorentina away comes to mind (got absolutely battered), but against the lower teams he knew how to beat them, going to a home game you were almost guaranteed a win or a draw, If we went down 1-0 you knew there would be a period of dominance coming up where we would score, I think it was mancini that said its always a hard game coming here, even through injuries we would still get results cahill playing as striker, pienaar leaving for spurs, baines carried on playing as if nothing had happened.

If nothing else, I would offer him the assistant managers job,

I found myself reading that comment and nodding along. Then I read your last sentence, and realised I was agreeing with a mad man

Wot? One of his main objectives was trimming down this mess of a squad, which he’s done. You can’t just conveniently forgot that. A small % of the lads who went on loan this summer will be with us next year (bar the younger ones).
 
Not a word of a lie in that statement.

Mina
Wasnt
Injured
When
We
Signed
Him

Gomes we took a gamble on, that CURRENTLY hasnt worked out, but yes, you are indeed correct, we are only were we are due to Brands.

Digne, Rico, Zouma and Bernard have already contributed, im sure Mina and Gomes will do the same, if he keeps signing 4 quality players every season it wont take us long to get back to the top.

Getting shut of people on loan is a bit easier than getting clubs to buy. What were the conditions / deals pushed through on them? And Brands got very little in for the players sold. In fact, his failure to come to a deal with Leipzig prevented us buying more players.

The incoming players ARE hit and miss.

The cult of Brands is at an end. The Gomes and Mina situation has ensured that if nothing else.

Its all been hit and miss at best. You know that. The fact you cant admit it is because you've set Brands up as a mover and shaker. He isn't. This summer's ins and outs prove it.

He signed 7 players, 4 have already been a massive hit, 2 have yet to perform for us and the young Keeper is getting rave reviews.

If it was different I would say it, but it aint.

lollol

Digne and Richarlison are the only obvious quality signings...and Richarlison is a Silva choice of player, obviously.
