Player Valuation: £50m
I think I'm officially off the Silva train now. I haven't seen anything of the Burnley game, I was on some 250km mountainbike thing in Holland and only saw the score on my phone at full time whereupon the woods echoed to the sound of "For F***s sake Everton!"
We play exactly the same gameplan every week regardless of the opposition, there is no consequence for failure for the likes of Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson which in and of itself isn't a bad thing but they haven't put in a performance between them all season. Set aside Gbamin being injured, Silva can't do anything about that, we have seen that a combination of Schneiderlin and Delph doesn't work. Delph is being asked to play a role that he is not a natural fit for, Davies may be inconsistent but he has to be given a chance at being the guy to move the ball forward with Delph taking Schneiderlin's place.
Possession is good in that without the ball the opposition can't score, but we've shown time and time again that we don't need to give them the ball to score, just a set piece will do. We have no variety going forward, I'm still not sure if DCL is a bad striker or not because he isn't getting anything to work with. It shouldn't be a defining factor but Silva just doesn't look like he cares, either. I really hope there is some sort of arse kicking behind the scenes, some sort of impressing upon the players that the current standard is not good enough.
I would not in a million years reach for the David Moyes button, though. Never go back. Especially not back to a manager who has failed dismally everywhere since he left.
