I'm just looking forward to not being bored to tears week in week out, for that I am cutting Silva some slack

For anyone who tries their best - read, laziest - to compare him to Martinez for not addressing the backline: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-go-through-second-pre-14993658
The Blues won their opening game of the summer, 22-0 against ATV Irdning, but failed to pick up another victory and Silva says results matter – even in non-competitive games.
And giving the Portuguese coach cause for concern ahead of the weekend's trip to Molineux is the ease with which Valencia were able to score at Goodison.
“To be clear, the results are important either in pre-season or during the season,” Silva said.
“Like today again we made the same mistakes which are not normal at this level.
“Like the third goal we conceded.
“The first two moments, they approached our box, two crosses and scored two goals.
“Even the second goal when we were in a good moment at 1-1, it was too easy for them to score the second goal.
“It is something we have to work on and for sure we will improve.
“The result today wasn’t good again. I took some positives, during the first half our attack and offensive organisation and defensive moments.
“I didn't see the opponent create a lot of chances.
“But each time they go there, it looks like they can score. That is not good.
“The boys are working hard to understand what I want as well and in some moments you have to have the confidence to make the right decisions.”

I think you are absolutely right. This is a great post. I think a lot of folks on here gave very VERY short memories.
It is barely 2 months since Silva arrived and pretty much everyone on here was suggesting that after the debacle of last season, and departure of that monster anti football period under Allardyce, that they would consider this season to be a success if we started to play attractive attacking football again . The general consensus then , I recall , was so long as we see that kind of progress we would take that is success for the season .
Now , for no explicable resdon other that daft over expectation , ee have to be in the top 6 by at christmas or the M snd M axis is a failure.
Personally I believe we should give the M and M era 2 seasons to build something . Watching us going forwards tye other day was so much better than at any time with Sam . I believe we are on track .

One way to have stimulated and speeded up the defensive purchases would have been to transfer list Jagielka and Baines as soon as he arrived months ago. They are no great loss and usually are found to be at the heart of all our most obvious mistakes in conceding.
Not doing that and then compounding it by buying a winger for £40M has left us with another "preseason" in August/September.
Obviously Brands is culpable too. Silva in particular though needs to understand the brutal reality of life as a manager at Everton: lay down the law and get your own men in or be prepared to be undermined at a later date. The feller needs to toughen up and start demanding players be got shut of and those he wants brought in WHEN HE wants.

Your obsession with relentlessly slating these two players on a daily basis is massively weird lol
And that is saying it nicely.
yeah, because buying players is super easy. you just name your target, click your fingers, and there they are with contract Dave.
every player is obviously dying to join us, and just waiting for that call. None of them have any ambition of playing for stronger clubs, and none of them are happy at there current clubs.
transfers according to Davek....

Because for the good of the club they're important to get out. It cant be stressed enough how much they contribute to our continued malaise.

...necessity is the mother of invention.
If you have two gaping holes that weren't there before it lends a certain urgency to the situation.
Dreamworld!
And you don't think they've been trying all summer? I'm sure they have a list of 5 or 6 CB that they wanted at the start of the window, and have probably been trying all window to land 2 of them. As I said, just because we want someone, doesn't been they will jump. we don't have the pull of Utd, Madrid etc.
Silva has said he has been looking for them since the start, we just aren't an attractive proposition to the really decent players as we can't offer them anything other than a "long term vision"

Yet nobody else can see it, apart from you.
Ever taken a moment to reflect on stuff you are saying and doing? Seriously Dave, it’s proper weird psycho stuff this.

Yeh worked the way last Summer when Lukaku got sold didn’t it
...when we had hundreds of millions to spend but a manager who was clueless how to spend it.
Next.
