2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[BlueStevie35]

Exactly. So striker isn’t completely essential.

Problem is Kev we don't have a Cahill type player

 

[hktoffee]

That's been part of our problem the last few years, too choppy changey with the back line. Under Moyes you knew what the back 5 would be every game cos it barely changed

I always prefer manager who knows how to setup defence.

 

[Kenshin]

We are as many points ahead of Palace (who are at a push the highest team involved in a relegation scrap) as we are behind Man Utd.

Isn't that always the story of everton every year now?

Can remember saying that under Martinez

 

[Blue Magic]

It's OK saying we need a striker and I agree, we do, but we're not creating chances. Now whether a quick mobile striker will alter the dynamics of the team I don't know. His movement hopefully will create space for other players.

We need a new RW as well as a CF in my view.

 

[Frang]

I believe that what you are witnessing is his mental disintegration. His post match interview has me very concerned for his well-being. Most of us have followed Everton for years and our sanity is thus ‘immunised’, But Marco is new to Everton and is thus vulnerable to terrible mental ravagement.

he will wake up with his barnet all over his pillow, look in the mirror and think hes turned in to Duncan goodhugh...

this IS what Everton do to you

*scratches bald head

Mate we beat west ham and plenty others we've dropped points to this season at home last season. We literally beat almost every team at home last season that was below us in the table etc. Pretty sure we beat Leicester too.

But so what? Doesn't mean we were better.

West Ham spent more than us last summer... they're currently below us.

We beat Leicester yes. But we got beat by them away. So swings and round abouts.

Stop comparing to last season. We were a mess then, and we're still trying to come out of the mess that last season left us in. The progress was there and now has stalled. We need to get back on it.

Calls for him to be sacked are absolutely ludicrous.

 

[RomanReigns]

Not earning his bread

Eh?

I'm not disputing we're not playing well. I think Silva was crap today and we're on a worrying run.

But we aren't getting relegated or dragged into it. We're just one of a group of 5-6 average sides who on their day are good and on their off days are bad.

Jardim would be great, but can we convince him?

 

[BlueToff]

Jardim would be great, but can we convince him?

What. That out of work manager with no PL experience who was sacked because he had Monaco in the relegation zone?

Sure we could twist his arm... But I'd say stick with Silva for now, like.

 

[Del-boy]

He’s gonna need a hair transplant likeTosun at this rate.

 

[Frang]

Jardim would be great, but can we convince him?

would be like trying to sell sand to eskimo's

worth a shout like..

I'm saying this is our season every year.

Half way through saying we are as close to Europe as to relegation. Every year the same thing is said and we always end up getting closer to the bottom than the top. Never kick on and close the gap.

 

[deipnosophist]

As someone else said, Jardim is available.

Wasn’t he the bloke who played the baddie in No Country For Old Men?
Good actor but does he know much about coaching togger?
Personally, I like the calls for Vitor.

 

[COYBL25]

It was never going to be easy straightening out the mess left after last season. Silva is doubtless feeling the pressure now as can be seen by his increasingly uncomfortable press conferences. I don't know if he can pull round this mixture of good and frankly poor players, certainly not without a transfer window or two.

You`ve hit the nail on the head there - " mixture of good and frankly poor players ".

The right side of the team is poor.

Keane is poor.

The strikers are poor.

Nothing will change until this is addressed.

Look at the rat Vardy, he got one sniff of goal and scored, there`s the difference.

We could`ve played for a week and we wouldn`t have scored.
