2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[riddick]

I think 'proud' was in context that for once we actually gave the top sides a decent game away from home and we hoped it would be a catalyst for us finally competing with the, sadly we have gone on holiday since december.

I'll be "proud" of the team when they actually BEAT a team. They have been saying it over here for months, "Everton are starting to become a team that plays pretty but loses and that is a recipe for disaster".

Not even playing pretty now. Times like these you see what metal they are made of.

I believe they are made of Haribo and not metal sadly.

Evertin.

It's extremely small time to do that. It shows just how deep they are revelling in their victim hood. A proper embarassing club.

And we took their manager lol

The idea he literally needs 18 of his own players is mind numbingly stupid.

Absolutely agree with this. The idea that a manager should also come in and improve the players already at his disposal, is a concept lost on several blues.

Digne, Gomes and Richarlison have been good in patches this season, all new signings. Mina & Bernard i'm less keen on, personally. But I would have hoped to see Davies, Kenny, DCL and / or Lookman kick on. Keane, Walcott, Tosun and / or Sigurdsson reinvigorated. Perhaps a renaissance from Seamus.

We've seen none of that, sadly.

.....10-1 to be next Manager to leave his post.

I hope he has the decency to leave rather than wait to be sacked
However I despair at the levels of decency in the modern game

Shows how poor the league is (outside the sky 6) when we can be on a poor run like we are yet still be only 3 points off 7th.

If he doesn’t buy a striker In Jan you can forget winning the FA Cup with these spineless idiots.

I'd be interested to understand what you would qualify as a 'total disaster' after spending circa £100m in the summer? Out of the cup at the 1st round? 14 points off the top six, 17 points off the top four and 30 points off the leaders entering February? 1 point from 18 against the top 6, conceding 14 and scoring 4?

If our ambition is to compete with these teams (and we're certainly spending at the same rate as them) then I'd absolutely qualify that as a disaster.

You're right, continuously sacking coaches is the wrong thing to do. But when you hire the wrong manager, it's important you recognise your mistake as quickly as possible and work to put it right.

Marco is under pressure. Quite rightly, fans are asking questions. I don't agree with fans poking fun at other fans for merely suggesting that he's massively underachieving.

Well I certainly wouldn't classify this as a disaster. As I thought I made quite clear, 7th would have been seen by most reasonable fans as a pretty decent season, and if we'd won on Saturday that's where we'd be. I don't really see how we can think it's a total disaster when we could be 7th again after our next game.

Our long term ambition is hopefully to compete with the top 6 but do you really think that's what our current ambition is? You're a fool if you do. If that was the case we wouldn't even have appointed Silva in the first place, and we wouldn't have heard from our owner just a week ago about how we couldn't afford to pay the wages of the type of players the top 6 have as standard. If we're going to join the elite it will be a slow process, I've said before that Moshiri hasn't helped the situation by suggesting it could be done quickly, but if you really think our spending this summer was enough to get us competing with the big boys you've set yourself up for a pretty big fall.

The metrics you're using are awful, because they're comparable to previous seasons. If we usually beat all the top 6 away and this season we hadn't it would be a fair criticism, but considering half this board probably weren't even born last time we won at some of those grounds it's pretty pathetic to use it as a stick to beat him with.

I acknowledged that Silva is underachieving, but I don't apologise for saying it's stupid to call for his head right at this moment. If Brands thinks Silva was the wrong appointment and has someone in mind to replace him then maybe we could look at that at the end of the season, but unless we look in danger of going down it would be absolute madness to do it now.

I love how they're trying to start a rivalry to achieve some semblance of relevance.

Bless.

Will take that for the next 10 games...

Richard Wright, Steve Simonsen, Paul Gerrard, Thomas Myhre say hi. Martyn and Howard only decent keepers since Nev.

Most better than Pickford.

 

[Nyhus]

Gotta be honest, thats kinda funny.
