2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[BlueToff]

Certainly hadnt and i watched the game with a Chelsea mate. He couldnt believe how easy we had it and the chances were fairly decent for us in that we could have won

The next few games other managers were heralded for stopping Jorginho when as we both noticed, it was Silva who initially out strategised Sarri.

I said this at the time.

Spurs did it the next game by putting Eriksen on Jorginho. Poch was hailed as a mastermind.

Silva's done plenty of things wrong this season but when it's clicked it has clicked well. It hasn't clicked as much as we'd all like and recently it's not clicked at all.

But it's a work in progress. He has to improve. The players have to improve. Brands has to improve. Fans need to improve. Just as a club, in general, we all need to improve.

I don't need to.

Realism is players and manager both share the responsibility. Not excusing one party as if he is immune to any bad decision. Any person in any management role ought to understand this. Not every organisation will acquire the best of condition and tools to work with. You then hire a manager to make sure he squeeze the best out of whatever he has. Right now we are simply not at our best level.

The issue is we are plainly not far off our best level.

If we were still in 6th, that wouldn't be 'best level' - it'd be above and beyond.

If we were 7th, that'd - realistically - be our 'best level'. We win tomorrow and we go 7th.

I don't need to.

Boo.

Indeed, and that’s why Holgate being loaned was so daft. Put him in a three with two of Zouma / Keane / Mina and I think we would look better. I even think Galloway as part of a three would be an improvement on the current situation.

The issue there is that if we play 3 at the back Coleman is so poor now we wont have an effective RWB.

Also lack the centre midfielders and still dont have someone up front aside from shoehorning richarlison.

oh so the centre backs silva has signed , you are just writing off as dross , don't have the nous..

interesting.

he bought 6 players to this squad , to use how he sees fit.

over half the team are HIS players, plus some international players that were already here

its quite obvious to me, he can not coach for crap. he cant work with players and make them better.

signing young players as what Moshiri suggested at the agm, will not work with this clown

He was very poor at Estoril coaching then was he lol

Hes one of the most highly rated managers in Europe ffs

He has signed THREE players for the left side.

He has signed ONE centre back (clearly adapting just how Lindelof has needed time at United).

Plus two LOAN players which he may/may not have wanted

No idea of your career trajectory but in mine you get binned off if you perform poorly or the boss doesnt fancy you pretty sharpish.

Thats what happens in the global markets and what should happen at Everton but of course in football you cant just bin people off...although were effectively doing that with over half the squad.

I mean, its not hard to understand.

Boo.

That's the noise of my Everton.

are you creaming your keks over tielmans to leicester ??!!

Get rid of 4-2-3-1 unless we can get back to playing it like we did in our decent run, which is when it did work.

That relies on Gomes to be in form and driving the ball from deep, taking players with him, opening up the space for Gylfi and also ensuring Gylfi gets the ball where he can do damage.

The wingers need to be tucked in and full-backs overlapping. I'd also argue that system has to feature Walcott because he's the only player we've got that really stretches a defence.

Other than that, change to 4-3-3/3-4-3. Show a bit more nous and flexibility with tactics and subs etc. It's just a few tweaks that could go a long way.

He was the first one to suss this seasons Chelsea out; up until we played them they (and Jorginho) were imperious, unbeaten and could have gone top that day and since that game they’ve gone downhill markedly.

I am not a fan of Silva’s rigid adherence to this 4-2-31 nonsense, but he genuinely did something impressive there.

Silva sussing Chelsea out must have done the leg work for Wolves who beat Chelsea 2-1 three weeks or so later, Pfft, other teams bloody managers copying us.

Spurs definitely did and beat Chelsea the very next game after ours.

I dont expect us to win, Wolves have a settled team and players like Neves and Moutinho in the centre who are far better than ours. Im hoping for a win but expect a draw.

Youre right though, win and 7th and yet some 'fans' will still complain...its pathetic and clueless...like a small child wanting to know "are we there yet" every five seconds.

are you creaming your keks over tielmans to leicester ??!!

He wouldnt fit the 433 system as he lacks mobility. Would have been ideal under Koeman.

if this is all the silva lovers have to cling on to then it aint looking good for him at the end of the season..

I thought @davek championing his draw at Chelsea and loss to Liverpool was bad enough...

League table is only part of the benchmark mate.

IMO, I would judge him base on the development curve since the first day he took charge. I would like to see gradual improvement in terms of development both at individual level and team level. I’m ok with this curve interrupted with downturns along the way but we will eventually still be seen as a better team after 6months. Right now we are not, the good qualities we have at the start of the season is not being build upon and improve. We have regress.

If we have the same players and playing much better consistently earlier in the season, then we ought to expect the same surely.

Well we've scored more goals and conceded less goals than this time last season.

We cocked up in the cup. It was dreadful. Not helped by an abysmal decision, but that's no excuse.

But in terms of tangible progress, there's two factors.

Up until that derby game we were in sixth and playing well. This revisionism that we weren't has to stop. We were very much looking like a side with swagger and a style. It's fallen off a cliff and ultimately the season is now about trying to recreate some of that.

But no, we haven't regressed.
