been saying this, he is not the guy. Sure we will get told 'new players haven't settled yet', sure let's give him one more window, oh christmas fixture was tough, ops the season is over. I am not denying transfer policy got much better thanks to mainly Brands but uff this Silva guy cannot create any harmony with the players he has. we will get weird good results here and there, we will beat top 6 teams once in a while, but never top 4 or even 6 finish we will see under him. the job is too big for him.
 
No need for the Silva out brigade so soon. At least assess it around Christmas not 3 games in.


I get the three games in part but don’t forget last season. A nice finish covered the cracks, we were terrible for about three and a half months. He’s been here a year now. No excuses for three poor-average performances.
 
Pretty big 'might' that mate. I see no signs of a goal.

We're relying on Kean - a 19 year old - to be world class at this point, new to the league and country.

That's just the way it works, we did have chances tonight. We were toying with them to start with until the wheels came off but we are not going for the jugular. Unless Gomes is pushing forward and acting as a link man with Sigurdsson, he and Morgan should not be in the first 11 together. It is just like having 10 men in attack and they roll it from side to side while the defence organises itself. Get some impetus and we hopefully we can pull teams out of that shape more often.

International break already coming up, let's hope it works like it did the one in Feb.
 

That's just it. We're taking too long to get the ball into the box because our route to goal is needlessly delayed/complicated by the way we're set up, with a number ten and just the two in midfield and we don't have the personnel to break teams down patiently a la City. The Liverpool 4-3-3 kick and rush is calling I feel.

There’s also a massive lack of movement. Just look at when either Gomes or Schneiderlin have the ball, nobody within 20 yards.

Watch city at the weekend, there’s a player available every 5/10 yards. They move it and run into space, creating patterns everywhere
 
So a repeat serial winner, winning the EL and finishing 2nd in the league and getting to a cup final was a "fluke".

OK mate.
The league season they had in 2017-18 was a fluke. This isn't really the place to get into that but that is what I'm saying. They played at a similar level two years ago as they did last season imo but one year De Gea saved everything and they squeaked out a fair few results without much attacking threat. The other they didn't and you end up 15 points different.

Mourinho as a top level manager is finito. Let's hope Marco can be the next Portuguese maestro.
 
Everton boss Marco Silva, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is really difficult to see how we can lose this game when we create so many chances to score. It is a tough place to play football.

"We started well and controlled the game with some dangerous moments around their box. The first time they went in our box they scored.

"We spoke during thew week that Villa like to play fast set-pieces and they did that we switched off. In the first moment it was 1-0. We react and had a clear chance with Dominic [Calvert-Lewin] to make it 1-1.

"In the second half it was more with our team in the middle and them with nine players around the box. Even then we created chances to change the result for us. We had the shot off the post and the clear chances with Theo [Walcott] and Lucas [Digne]. In my opinion we should achieve more in this game but if you don't score from the chances you create.

"The most difficult thing is to create and when you do you have to put the ball in the net.

"It is concerning about the goals we didn't score and of course we should score more. Against Palace we created lots of chances to score and didn't and again today."

Villa looked more like scoring every time they went forward tonight. We had DCL miss a sitter, which is his default thing to do, and a snap shot from Iwobi. That's it.

And that's a relegation threatened side.

AND it's been the case for all three games this season. We have an extremely poor attacking unit, because we didn't replace DCL and we're relying on a 19 year old kid to be world class and hit the ground running, which is ridiculous.
