2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Axlswhk]

And they haven't under successive managers. That's my point.

So, they simply aren't good enough.

It's making me genuinely angry. I start work in five though and get to watch some good teams, and that'll just make me angrier

Don’t think we were so soft in defending under Sam. Same set of players different outcome. Manager share the responsibility this season. Not saying Sam is good but genuinely can see a difference

There is no cohesion in the squad now...especially at the back...they don’t make mistakes coz of lack of skills but because they have no confidence and probably don’t understand what Silva wants from them...

 

[Saint Domingo]

Arsen Wenger, anyone.

If only. Sadly won’t happen. Can’t see him in the premiership ever again.

 

[Kenshin]

10 defeats out of 25 in a season and it's not even may. Means we are losing over a third of our games if my maths is in the right ball park, just under half.

That's a pretty bad statistic by itself. We need to be not losing as a basis, even drawing half of those defeats wouldn't have us any higher really but least it's a starting point.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Why do you think he's only interested in signing Portuguese speaking players? He's a good manager he just comes over terribly in translation. It's a shame.

To line the pockets of his agent Jorge Mendes?

Absolutely atrocious if we lose like 17 games by the season ends. It’a relegation form since the RS away game.

40% loss record!

In Moshiri's own words, he was a gamble.

He hasn't got any credentials. So far he hasn't shown anything other than what we already knew from his time at Watford an Hull - he wins 3 in every 10 games - starts well, quickly sussed out.

Unless there's a dramatic upturn from now until the end of the season, or Moshiri's appetite has dwindled - I reckon he's as good as gone at the end of the season.

We crave stability and continuity, but continuity for continuity sake will only see the existing apathy/malaise sink deeper. We can't allow Koeman/Allardyce to to be paralyse us with fear. Brands should also, theoretically allow for that continuity. I also wonder whether Brands was key in that appointment, or paying lip service to it.

Anyway, no point sacking him now - the season has gone and anyone coming in would be on a hiding to nothing with the run of games we've got coming up.

Brands should assess him come the end of the season and will have to make a call whether he's worth more of a gamble. If so, then it's on Brands. Sooner or later, Brands will be under as much, if not more scrutiny than the manager.

 

[bicycleheader]

Of course, better a one trick pony then a zero trick fraud.

Anyone who plays the stability card when talking about Silva should of been saying saying the same at the end of last season.

Ridiculous

You know well why a huge amount of the fanbase didn't want that arrogant corrupt clown anywhere near the club in the first place, let alone giving him anymore time than he got.

Why in any way would it be good to keep on a manager that started his time at the club being despised by most of the fans and did nada to change that.

Completely unrelated to any wish to avoid more upheaval right now and see what can be done from August on if they somehow get a host of players out the door and we are working with a core group unrecognisable from the end of last season.

He may be crap and it might not go anywhere anyway, but long term it's much better for the club to try with a new managerial prospect like this rather than plonking in short term dinosaurs. It's a much better policy unless we get lucky and manage to grab somebody off the top shelf interested in working in the environment we have now.

Some shocking opinions across a few threads from fans who can't seem to think in anyway long term for the club that is in a mess. You don't like the manager and want him out....fine...but christ please bin the talk of short term managers with whom the only goal would be squeezing points out of games.

Any change of manager should only be in the summer or after, and only once they have a proper target who wants to come and build something under a DOF and play some ball. They don't fit that profile, then no dice.

I'd rule out any change during this season as I don't trust in any way whatsoever that they would have a decent replacement lined up.

 

[4737carlin]

The manager doesn't make Coleman completely fall asleep, though.

He switched to man marking for that fk, just like he did v Huddersfield. Surprise surprise our players can't do that either.

Not everything is on him.

Agree on this

 

[banno]

I want 7th this season. BFS records not including the West Ham home game were P24 W9 D7 L8. I believe if he sees out his contract he will accumulate more points than Silva after 38 games. And this doesn’t mean I like or rate him.

I don’t see why we should glorify an individual’s playing style. If he can’t get results it’s nothing. If we hoof it and win 1-0 everytime I could not care less.

My point is BFS style is not a winning style it is a surviving style. You will lose just as many than you win. For Everton to progress and try and latch on to the better sides then we have to try and play expansive football. Silva is attempting this albeit not successfully but it is the only way to be successful. Play it wrong and you will obviously fail and take some beatings, play it right and you have a chance. I would rather attempt it than be happy nicking points here and there by playing BFS style. If that means a few points less then I would accept it because we are trying.

 

[marnie]

I can't believe how a defeat against the RS has seen such a complete collapse in the football in every possible aspect of our game.

 

[tommytowne]

Not managers with poor PL records and got their clubs relegated.

I'm sure you'll come up with stats to prove otherwise but Silva whilst at Hull performed a near miracle to nearly keep the club up. Working with that chairman would have tested many better managers. Brown shoes had many detractors, me included despite that cup win but we still took him on thinking we saw something others couldn't.

 

[Kenshin]

Remember everyone, call this a prediction

If/when we sack Silva then the next man won't be high profile, will be hand chosen by brands and may not immediately turn us to success.

If Silva isn't the man then fair enough , but I do fully expect setbacks under the new one as well.

Also over time, I can see us promoting from within if we change our coaches and follow a foreign template ala what brands is used to. Short term we can't but one day we could be doing so

Personally think he will be gone before the end of the season. Seen it before those in charge will not want the toxic waters lapping around there feet.
