SOME OF THE SILVA PRE MATCH WEST HAM P/C


Delph a doubt to face West Ham
Marco Silva says Fabian Delph remains a "doubt" for the game. "Let's see how he reacts. He is getting better. We will make a decision tomorrow"

Tosun ruled out
Cenk Tosun out with groin injury picked up with Turkey.

Silva on the pressure
Silva on feeling under pressure: "About the owners, I speak with the owner many, many times.
Three weeks ago I was with him, two weeks ago I was with him."
All the matches must be ‘must-win’ matches. I have full confidence in our players in our stadium.
We are not in the best moment. It is a must-win game.

Pressure for us as professionals has to be a privilege because it is doing what we love.
It is never a problem for me. It means we’re at a club with big ambition.
Our last results haven’t been good enough, we have to react.

Silva on Michael Keane
Silva: "He [Keane] came back happy because the national team won the second game. Of course he'd have preferred to play both."

Silva on racism in football
"First I have to tell you it's great to see the maturity they [England] showed. They went to play for the national team and they did in the right way, even if the environment was tough for them. It was a pleasure to see."

Silva on Mood in Squad
"We are together in this situation. One month ago, before the first international break, we were in sixth position and in a good moment. I am the first one to take responsibility but it is good to see the players take it as well."

Silva on West Ham
"Their away form is really good, we know what we expect. It's up to us to perform better than the last games to achieve a good result. It will be a game for us to express ourselves on the pitch."

Silva on Tom Davies' role
Davies as a No. 6: "It's always a possibility, if it happens it's not the first time with me.
Tom has played with Andre, Gana and Morgan last season - he's able to play in both positions [in midfield]."

Silva on Walcott
Last week we had a friendly game at Finch Farm. He (Walcott) played 90 minutes.
He’s in a good condition to play tomorrow.

Delph out means Schneiderlin and Sigurdson both play and Everton lose. How magnificently uninspiring!

Totally different era.

Catterick didnt need to motivate multi millionaire primadonna's glued to their Smartphones.

Charisma is massively important in modern day management.

Interesting exchange.

People on here often complain about how Everton never get the media publicity that we feel a club of our standing, our history and our size merits.

And it is very true.

Well, I think a lot of that is rooted in the 1960s when TV and football became entwined and at the forefront of the Swinging Sixties zeitgeist.

It was the era of superstar managers and the likes of Shankley, Nicholson, Revie, Mercer, Allison, Busby and Tommy Docherty at Chelsea all embraced the new media and were cementing their status as national figures whilst bigging up and bringing positive publicity to their clubs.

It was different at Everton.

Of course it was.....it is always sodding different at Everton.

Instead of embracing television’s newly found love of football, Harry famously had the nascent Match Of The Day cameras banned from m covering games at Goodison Park (John Moores eventually overruled him).

Harry refused to give interviews....whilst Shankly became a media darling with his banal quotes, one of which subsequently proved to be quite grotesque given the club he managed.....”people say football is a matter of life and death. But it’s much more important than that”.

So although the game has changed a lot since the 60s, one thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that a manager with a bit of charisma brings more publicity to a club.

And the contrast between the taciturn Catterick and his present day successor Silva with Shankly and the current Rent A Gob at The Pit is stark.

Rubbish.
A manager / coach has to blend together a team and guide them to success, nothing else.
As long as the manager has the respect of his players , which Silva seems to have, then that’s all that he needs.

Shankly was a gobby piece of scum who I despised at the time and whose memory I still revile. I had a broad smile and few pints when he croaked his last breath.
Catterick was the classier man by far.
What you say is true but I still prefer someone who excels in their profession whilst remaining genuinely humble and self effacing.
All that said I still admire ol’ Big Head , but he was in a class of his own.

Not rubbish at all - try telling any teacher or modern day manager that you can use the exact same techniques on kids/employees as you would 30-40 years ago and they'll laugh in your face.

Professions evolve as much as society does so to suggest modern day multi millionaire young players with smart phones, headphones strapped ariund their necks 24/7 and social media will react the same way to certain management styles that a player playing in the 60's or 70's would have is ludicrous.

Same way your average player of today doesnt go down the local boozer after a match.
