'I think Marco Silva has probably been the best. I respected what he was doing and really enjoyed training every day. I liked how Silva set his stall out and dissected who he wanted in and out of his team in a three week period,' Deeney said.

'I sensed a difference in him after he was linked with Everton. With anyone, when you get linked with moves or any kind of contract thoughts or things like that, your mind just comes off a fraction or two and it reflects to the players. I would expect him to take Everton to the next level.'
lol
Sound like wants to line his pockets by moving to Everton!

All aboard the gravy train!
 

I don't actually think we were that bad, Tosun and niasse missed 4 guilt edge chances between them. West ham had 3 chances and scored, 2 of which we handed them on a plate. Get back to full strength and cut out the stupid mistakes and we'll be ok
 
Really mad for anyone to be judging the manager after 5 games. New players to integrate but more importantly new tactics. Whether you like the tactics or not you can't go from Sam Allardyce being the manager to Marco Silva and their not be teething issues.

It'll take a while for it to gel. Maybe even after Xmas before the whole team starts to feel in sync.

However, it'll be a much harder road if the fans get on the manager's and player's backs after 5 games. No-one should be happy with 5 points from Huddersfield, West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton and Wolves. Equally no-one should be slaughtering the manager or the players.

New season, new manager. Should be a clean slate for everyone. But the problem is that a lot of fans have baggage that they've carried through over 20 years of under achievement. They need to let go of that and get behind the team. Give the players and manger the freedom to express themselves without the incessant pressure that Everton players play under. Breaking into the Top 6 shouldn't be an aim for this season. It's unrealistic. The top 6 teams (including Arsenal) have much better squads and will probably end up 10-20 points at least ahead. Top 6 should be something to aim for in 2 to 3 seasons if things go well. That means Everton being on a good path and probably one or 2 of the Top 6 dropping a level (or at least Arsenal not improving).

The one thing that could hold Everton back is the fans and their expectations and constant negativity.

or he could pick a team and tactics which match our player capability on the pitch based on the squad available to him....is that too much to ask or should persist with his ideals that he cannot meet given our results to date against mediocre opposition.

I think it's more frustration that we lost to such a poor team, and have made a mess of such an easy start to a season.... My expectations are quiet low this season, you can't fix a mess in one transfer window....

It will take him a few windows to get all the players he requires to play his system but he should be capable of getting results with the players at hand.

If you have no striker, and an inexperienced back line you're in trouble at this level.... Add Richarlison, Mina, Coleman, a fully fit Bernard, and likely we beat West Ham.... Disappointing though still to not beat them with what we had...

A decent striker n holgate out the team n we probably win 3 or 4-1

I think a starting 11 of
Pickford
Coleman. Mina. Zouma. Digne

Gomes Gana/ McCarthy

Walcott Siggy Bernard

Ricarlison

Willl give a lot of teams problems and get. points home and away

If we get a decent CF in January ( unlikely ) than put Ricarlison back on the left and drop Siggy for Bernard
We are still 3/4 permanent signings away from a top 6 side
Hopefully Zouma and Gomes work out and we sign both permanently leaving just a CF and a DM to be got
 
This is nothing like Martinez first season, and nothing like a situation where a new manager has to just add sparkle and tactics to improve the team. (although Silva is doing that as well) This is a team in massive transition:

We have had a new / unsettled back 4 with players who have never played together. Coleman-Jags-Baines + 1 played together for a long time, now Jags & Baines are being phased out.
We have had about 1.5 seasons of no discernible tactics
We have got about 7 young players who may be excellent (some of them) but haven't had guidance yet (The England U20 WC winners + vlasic)
We have had a big change in personnel, with some big names or characters coming and going (Lukaku, Rooney, Sigurdsson)
A new system - DoF and manager.
An unsettled owner, who is also off his head sometimes
a new CEO, who looks like she knows what she's doing
Some excellent additions who must be looking to really do big things here - Pickford, Richarlison, Zouma, Mina are proper internationals who have higher standards than some of our current squad

The owner, CEO and Manager and at least 6 /7 of our players are definitely ambitious, and either will fulfil their ambitions here, or will NEED to do well to get their next big jump in their careers

In short, it's all going to be ok, and it's not one of those quick fix seasons
