2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Frang]

Everyone needs to relax:

The club will be 7th by end of day tomorrow, and then all the boys need to do is maintain that position over 15 matches.

We achieve that by suppporting our manager and players with encouraging behavior; showcasing that the fan base believes in them.

If you all collectively are such passionate supporters, and die-hard fans this really should not be very difficult.

When asking where the problem lies over the course of multiple regimes; let us not shout Bil, Farhad, Marco, etc. maybe we ought to examine ourselves. Ultimately you have zero influence on anything apart from your own behavior; so everything else is simply waste.

you must be a much better fan than some of us on here because you want to back the current manager...

fair play

*takes the knee

Winning tonight is far from a guarantee , and just maintain our position for 15 game ? Have you seen our home fixtures and our away record ?

its quite possibly one of the most ill informed posts ive ever read on here.. barring a few of @daveks corkers

 

[StateSideToffee]

Another dig at the fans nice.

Hold yourself accountable for your role in a problem; and those around you will follow suit. It’s contagious.

Play the victim and watch those around you do the same until everything is a mess and no one is at fault.

Seems a simple choice to me.

Because it’s not new and hip, zonal marking maannn it’s the future ... even if you concede literally every free kick

You think zonal marking is new and hip? Do you even watch football?!

What about not playing anything ? I just want Everton to win a trophy and challenge at the top end. We are light years off any of that. How am I accountable for this please ?

Ive been saying this for weeks...

I agree with Neville 100%. Dont want to follow the manager, dont appoint him.

Follow the manager is right but you can’t just ask players to do things they can’t do. Would you ask jags , coco , Keane and Coleman to take touches and pass it around the back ? Would you ask Bernard to get in the box for corners? You have players and a style you want to play but you have to get results or at least performances from your team. We don’t create , can’t press, can’t keep possession and our defence gets cut open easily , we have conceded from heaps of long balls and our set piece defending is as bad as I have ever seen. The system means Colman and digne push up in possession our cb split to lb and rb and our Cm’s drop back as cb’s leaving no options to pass to , we constantly look outnumbered when at the back and passing is rushed , when we somehow do pass into midfield we still look outnumbered there and if we go long the striker looks isolated

 

[Tel001]

People can say what they want against Jags, but he always threw himself in front of things, as you say they are soft.

Jags is old , but he was a very good cb for a very long time for us

It’s a system that I only ever hear about is why it’s jot working . Countless motd, sky pundits explaining for hours why teams are conceding . The was RS Achilles heel for years , but I have never seen any team in my life as fragile as us at the moment from set plays .

And thats part of the problem. Without trying to come across like a football snob, half the people criticising it don’t understand it. They’re critiquing it without knowing what they should be looking for, and so just see/hear the negatives.

The reason you hear them talking about it on match of the day is because they’re explaining what’s gone wrong. Things go just as wrong with man marking but nobody needs to explain what happened because you can see it. Player X lost his man, easy. That’s honestly one of the reasons so many people moan about zonal marking; they don’t know who to blame when a goal goes in, so they just blame the entire system.

Some of the millionaire players breaking sweat more often would be a fine starting point in getting fans, most of whom spend hard earned money supporting the team through thin and thin, more enthused with the crap that's offered up. The manager being a bit more flexible and adaptable, would also be a huge help.

What I am reading here is that you are content with the fan base; yourself included, being less supportive of the club, manager or individual players in times of hardship: poor performance, confidence, strategy, luck, etc.

To me that seems to be the opposite of being committed to supporting the club through thick & thin. Perhaps only through thick then, yes?

Granted I agree there hasn’t been much thick of late to know for certain.

We all have the same desire. We want Everton to be successful, and for Goodison to be a special place. We can only control our own individual actions; therefor, I suggest we reflect internally and ask ourselves what more we can do as individuals to make it so.

Silva is basically a poor mans Big Sam, so he kept them up once, so what, we didn't get Silva to help keep us up

Silva kept who up?
