FWIW, I see him being a bit off the pace until about Christmas and then he is going to absolutely tear this league apart.

He's going to have to blend in the new arrivals until he getsa blend that works. Just like it took Kendall a bit fine tuning to effectively work Lineker into the team, not just a straight swap for Grey, but how we set up.

Players brought in may need 18 months to 2 years to settle, but the manager will be expected to get Everton no problem top 7 and should really be breaking into the top 6?
Really interesting read from O'Keefe this morning.
"Even after that FA Cup exit, and losing from 2-0 up at St James’ Park in early March, he never lost the dressing room. Men of character such as Seamus Coleman helped ensure that didn’t happen too because they believed in his methods."

He was doing both, one or the other.
Don't think its about finding just one player who is more disciplined
the whole side needs to work together more.
I think there is too much emphasis on the phases of pressing and not enough work on other areas.
And maybe the reason for this is its too complicated to work the other areas into Silva's style of press.
It like Gana's role was the constant.
At the heart of my issue was that Gana, as the constant, lead to the others players being less sure, and/or having to constantly do more calculations as to their role. It became an unnecessary mess at times.
Its why we lost or drew matches we should've won.
I was saying more or less this to my lad yesterday, there can't be any excuses this season for Silva, especially if we go out and get the other players for the positions he wants covered.
Yes Dave, its his 2nd season, hes not a novice manager.
I could get us top 7 without breaking a sweat, if this fella cant, he needs to step aside.
As I say, he will be given my full support every step of the way, but I wont be making excuses for him.

Needs to get top 4 because it's his second season with Everton? Are you quite mad?
We'll get top 7 and probably place pressure on 6th by the season's end. But the shame is that we cant start off a season without a full preseason behind us as a springboard. We lose a lot of valuable points because of that.
100 per cent agree with this . It's time to put up or shut up for Silva. I hope that he steps up to the mark.

He’s going to smash it if he gets all the players he wants.
The dice will have to fall heavily in our favour to hit 4th or 5th place. We are still in "team building" mode. Which means, far as playing staff goes, this will be another season of transition. Brands and Marco have repeatedly said this is a long term project. I see no reason to doubt this.
Which can only mean, another difficult season for the impatient. However, it is not unreasonable to expect signs of improvement, like beating the RS and doing well in a cup run. Anything short of this is stagnation and then we can ask questions of our management team.
