Don’t have the players for the system he wants, dno if there is a short term fix for this year using the squad, won’t spend in jan which is fine with me as long as we can work on clearing out some of the utter dross we have. Likes of schnides and Sandro need binning ASAP and if we manage that we can build a squad abit with those wages. Depressing watching Gomes looking so goosed and having to play 90 minutes regardless Cos we don’t have that kinda player.

Unbelievable we’ve spent so much money and have such a paper thin squad. This seasons a write off really. If we can take points off them and prevent them winning the league that’ll genuinely do me for now haha

Thought Gomes came off after 50 mins??
 
Different situations calls for different strategies. The manager should be able to change players, philosophy etc. as each game is played; and the season, for that matter, as players injuries and form indicate.

Our philosophy should be whatever philosophy will work on a given day. If we stick with a singular style of play, we will become predictable. And very beatable.

It remains to be seen whether or not Silva is capable of adapting.
 
Epicurus attacked any kind of philosophical belief on the grounds that it made you do and seek unnatural things that you did not need to be content.

There is much to be said for this in relation to Everton.

Yes but could Epicurus perform on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke?
 
Deep down all Everton fans want to fight everyone, that's why we like counter attacks and headed goals - fast running and nutting the ball. Essentially our philosophy should be quick wide players, crosses, and bundled-in goals.
 
Tactics and hilohey are different in my opinion, we’ve played 4-2-3-1 or a altered variant of it for twenty years now, but have done it under different philosphies.

City play a similar system, but you would say they plat a different philosophey to us, or Allardyce last season.
 
Feck me, please 2 up front. All this one-man front line malarkey is getting so stale.

Also, surely 4-4-2 is a better formation for young players to learn from? I do not see why our under-14s should be playing the same as our first team.

Maybe focus less on results and more on bringing through quality footballers. Not everyone matures physically at the same pace.
 
A philosophy that permeates through out the club is a good thing. It will take a while, I would prefer 5-1-3-1 but as we don't have a centre forward worthy of the name we can't play that way. Once we rid ourselves of a few more people who are clogging up the wage bill hopefully this is the road we will take.
However none of it matters unless we have players who are willing to put the effort in.
So 2022 then?
 
I'm led to believe that from various interview's since his succession to the Board that Brands has implemented or
in the process of a philosophy of how we play from juniors to the first team.

So far I haven't seen any resemblance of a philosophy.

Thought's
It's been 6 months.........

Sorry the entire club haven't snapped into a unified way so playing like magic
