As stated, the accusations came around way before he even signed with us, and have been proven embarrassingly wrong
Proven - jury still out imo.
Don't know about this Martinez thing, but for some having an objective stance/critique of Silva is far less embarrassing than those desperate to see him as the savior without the performances on the board to suggest he is anywhere near to that.
What's wrong is lauding over Silva while getting the type of performance we got against Watford.
Watford throw players forward and the response is local park level route one, balls being hoofed all over the place, absence of midfield play with three passes strung together an absolute rarity, resigned to the backs sitting deep, often no central everton player between the backs and whoever was leading the line, all the while, while Sig continued to press their backs. Tactical response was to bring on Walcott and encourage more of it, while the way out of the mess was seemingly to lump the responsibility on the shoulders of Moise, apparently contradicting his post match comments.
If the argument is that its all about being patience and giving it time to work then what was that?
Surely, in this context of progress, he would of had them fight to wrestle back control of the midfield and turn Watfords second half tactics on its head.
It may not have worked and we may have lost the game, but it would have been progress, experienced gained, lessons learnt and all that.
Then you'd could rightfully say - be patient. Instead he just willed Watford to keep coming at us.
1st half was good was decent though.
But don't give us this embarrassingly wrong crap!
