It’s three games in and there’s defeatism and calling for the managers head already. Don’t you think it’s a bit early for that? It’s not the managers fault that Gomes was so dreadful and accountable for both goals....losing the ball for the first and being brushed off way too easily for the second, and it’s not his fault that well-paid professional strikers DCL and Walcott missed pretty simple chances. His error is in playing them, not how they played. However I reckon 99% of us would have started Gomes.
They had a big, strong number nine who was virtually an unknown and who cost peanuts who did the basics very well, and another number nine who was abysmal. They had two chances and scored, we had three, missed two and hit the post with the other. If we had gone in for Wesley in close season the fume in here would have been huge.

Top and bottom of it is that there’s an ingrained losing mentality that infests this Club and which is being too slowly driven aside.
 

It’s just sad that it’s only taken until the third game of the season to have all hope kicked out of us.

We’re in for a another long slog of a boring, nothingness season.

99% of you would have started Gomes because he has a tan and a beard. I’m more interested in his ability to dominate as an alleged midfielder.
 
Utter garbo mate.

That doesnt mean everybody is rubbish and we should sack the manager tho.
Agreed, but things need to change. We should expect Everton to be Everton, but for once I would like us to at least pretend to challenge the top sides again. We have suffered long enough I say
 

Newcastle, Fulham and tonight. Three results within this renaissance that stand out and remain big warning signs with Silva.

He can’t win an away game when we’re expected to win.
 
I'm convinced that the best scenario for him is something like what Simeone did with Atletico. Exceptionally tight defense with just enough in attack and a bang in form striker. He just doesn't seem to be someone who is going to put together a fluent, deadly front line.
You might be onto something if only...
The thing is Simone is a man of immense character, who demands respect commitment and courage, and who inspires, in equal amounts.
The man who 'played as if I was carrying a knife between my teeth'.

Maybe Silva's convoluted philosophy/tactics are an attempt to make up for what he lacks in comparison.
He certainly is not inspiring the players with his approach.
Gylfi and Gomes were rendered impotent tonight.

Making it simple allows you to make intelligent, insightful decisions when needed.
Making it simple means you can make it more complex over time while appearing to keep it simple.
You have to get the players to understand and believe in it, then you can inspire.

Its just no happening Marco.
