2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Our home record is getting as bad as it was under Martinez. That simply isn't acceptable. He won't be here next season.

Shame, because it means we'll have to start all over again. Again.

It'e been downhill since Moyes went. Getting sick of it.

Good because there's nothing to back up your point. We were utterly abysmal and then came Sam, who did us good in a dire situation. It's not my fault that everyone disliked him on a personal level. If his name was Sam Silva he wouldn't have got anywhere near as much criticism.

In the same breath I appreciate that people didn't enjoy the football. It's just that I recognise it was necessary for a squad as talentless as ours.

great post.

the utter disdain that our fanbase holds sam Allardyce in clouds their own judgement on him

I hated his football and attitude.

but it was a nessessatiy for us at the time and he came in and shored us up.

he was rightly outed by Moshri… but unfortunately we ended up chasing a clown who cant defend and we are where we are thanks to our glorious owner

You can blame him as much as you want, but the individual errors by players this season has been shocking, I mean take today, you can't coach Baines not stumbling and touching a player, you can't coach a brain dead CB who's only reason to pull a player after said player had given the ball to Zouma was just because he felt like doing it, needless freekick that cost us a goal.

Time and time again we gift goals through silly errors and it bites us in the arse everytime.

Obviously you can't blame Silva for players making errors, but for me (and I've said it a fair few time) the passion, the battling, the will to win should be instilled and come from the manager, but Silva just doesn't come across as one of those managers who looks like he can rally the troops.

That bellend Klopp may be a loon on the touchline, but you can see him bollocking players, going on one when they cock - up, but he also shows passion, and you can see the players responding to that.

Losing to them completely killed the season. We were playing well before that game and no one expected it to have such catastrophic effect on us. But no decent manager allows one defeat to define the whole season. If he hasn't got the experience, skills, ruthlessness or personality to stop us nosediving after one defeat, however demoralising, then he's never going to be a top manager.

He can't stop us conceding stupid, avoidable goals from set pieces which is the first priority of any manager regardless of moronic decisions by Baines, Keane today.

I genuinely thought we might be building something earlier in season, but Brands has to be seriously looking at options for next season.

Absolutely mate. Never the man to take us forward but he did exactly what we needed him to.

Who could be good enough for Everton?? The fans have high expectations - which is reasonable as they're all high achievers themselves - many of them are indeed excellent footballers, better than most of those on the pitch, but preferring to do other things with their time, like watching other men play football..

You don't need to have or indeed be experienced in football to know exactly how bad your football team is and has been playing, but hey continue to slag the fans off and sick your head in the sand at mediocrity

We are not that desperate,....

I know Joey, just a fun pic.

I hated Sam's mentality/mindset more than anybody's. Ofc he wouldn't be the answer. Since we are not in danger of relegation, I think Marco should see end of the season, and meanwhile Brands should be looking for the replacement already for summer.

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

I've been a big fan of Silva since he was appointed but we are going from bad to worse.
I'm all for stability, which we've been sadly lacking in recent years, but Marco doesn't seem to be the man to provide that stability.
How about a Solskjaer-type arrangement with Moyes until the end of the season and see where that takes us?

 

[Frang]

Those two goals I mentioned the errors for, have nothing to do with training.

they totally are.. the players are devoid of confidence and in so being are making horrendous decisions and actions.

i backed up my argument last year. Dig in the vault if so choose. It was never personal with me. It was that he was a gutless coward. It’s not complicated. Line up and play. It was not as dire as the doom and gloom on here made it out to be.

After Wolves game,

Claim:. We can't defence.
Fact:. True. But temperament as well - we lack the temperament of a cool headedness. 1st goal, needless penalty. 2nd goal, no point to foul when clearly your team mate was recovering the lose ball. Both goals avoidable.

Claim: Tosun and Richardson aren't performing.
Fact: No supply line. There is a serious lacking of balls in the supply line into the danger area. Why not put in some early crosses for Tosun, Richarlison to charge into to mix up the boring and ineffective fringe passing (which ends up dispossessed most of the time)

Claim: We lack fighting spirit.
Fact: They tried. Players tried to fight but they are just clueless due to lack of strategies and looked disjointed. Most of the running and charging ends up wasted and ends in discouraging result. Again short of strategies for the fight to be of purpose.

Claim: We need a striker.
Fact:. Will be almost useless without effective supply line.

Claim:. As the commentator, we are having problem.
Fact:. True. Problem of Attacking Strategies (eg. no Plan B), problem of motivation (eg. to wake up has been giants in say Walcott, Sigurdsson etc), problem of defence (eg. silly fouls, poor marking, temperament issues)

Claim:. Silva needs to go.
Fact:. For Short term remedy? Or patience needed for long term vision of club?

Absolutely no idea what the point is?

are you silva out ??

always had you down as a silva-mainer??

So we sack Silva for a returning manager HK mk2&3 tells you that won't work......

I'll never cheer underperforming professional premier League footballers earning astronomical amounts of money win,lose or draw.

They (the club, manager, players, staff everyone) is paid very well to at least try and to put in a shift.

Why shouldn't they understand that it's not good enough. The way the club has been for the past 30 odd years is a joke. Applauding them for utter mediocrity won't do them any good.

Booing may not help either but a Boo is real emotion, a fake round of applause is basically enabling them to be crap.

But as always thats just my opinion.

...sadly, the game doesn’t matter to many professionals these days. They are rich beyond imagination. That’s the way it is, you need to bring players in who are hungry and you need a manager to build a spirit that makes them care. Sadly, without that infrastructure they won’t be bothered.

Silva seems to have gone full on Martinez, which ultimately can only lead to one outcome.

Never go full Martinez
