If you were Everton manager right now, what would you do next?

[tim cahill]

Put out the same team in the next match. No changes........

Probably the best thing to do. Although our side today was far from ideal.

 

[Papa Shango]

Tell all the players they're playing for their futures. Tell Williams to go work in Maccies. Try and stick to a settled team for 3-4 games.

He would be sacked within a week for eating out of the bins.

[chicoazul]

Insist on playing behind closed doors to get away from you geordies.

I was going to make this after the Atalanta game but on reflection I think now seems a better time considering our 'nightmare fixture period' is now out of the way.

We're coming off the back of 4 straight (and frankly depressing) defeats, shipping goals without scoring any ourselves, and everyone at the club is understandably not feeling too great.

The team has been considerably tinkered with in recent times and it most definitely hasn't helped our form, but the masochist in you would've perhaps considered it a necessary endevour in order to find out more about the glut of new players that are being introduced into an almost entirely new setup compared to last season.

With everything that we've seen so far, what would you now do as manager of Everton? What would you say to the squad/certain players given the run of fixtures we now have ahead of us? How would you line the team up/what system would you play going forward? How would discussions go between you and Steve Walsh/the board regarding January and beyond?

Genuinely interested to read some thought out responses.

I like 3-4-3. Its a good system. It's easy to press and disrupt the opposition. The wide forwards dont have to defend so much. The 2 centre mids can play further forward. The Barry/Scheiderlin type doesnt have to drop so deep to collect the ball.

Maybe we should try it for a run of games.

Even though we dont really have the right players for it.

Go for a game of golf

Wait to get sacked, then go to Mexico with Rachel Riley.

We haven't got 3 good defenders

Maintain headway at all costs.

This is true.

Maybe Keane in the middle with Holgate and Jags either side could work.

Keane can do everything Williams can without the brain farts when it comes to passing.

Has anyone mentioned Rachel Riley?
