What is Silvas philosophy?
I was horrified a few weeks ago when he said `we only have one way of playing'. Then against Chelsea thankfully a bit of pragmatism
came in and we dug in for a solid point.
However, since then we have tried to beat Lpool/City and Totts at their own game but with inferior players. I simply don't understand this management style, it surely makes no rational sense, is naive, gets the natives on side for a while but inevitably poor results will follow..
Are we trying to press hard from up top and midfield? Because we don't have the players bar Gueye (injured) and Richarlison to do that.
What are our tactics at the back? Trying to keep a highish line (v dangerous with our desperate) lack of pace at the back. Then when Keane gets skinned for the first time in every game he wants the back 4 to drop way too deep.
After last seasons early mess and then base created by Alladyce then a gradual building of a passing/pressing game needed to go hand in hand with a solid defensive unit. Even if Alladyce was hounded out by 97% of evertonians, surely they were not naive enough to think a young manager with a `guardialo/Klopp' style could come in and get us challenging for top 4/5.
