Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Charles Hawtrey]

(Perspective from the south coast)

He is indeed a complete nob, as almost all Southampton fans would be willing to drive him to Goodison for free.

There's a good, even great player in there but he has a very high opinion of himself. This means he sulks when not picked, only makes an effort against what he considers to be 'top 4 clubs' and is poison in the changing room.

He's been holding out for a transfer to a CL side, which is where he thinks he should be.

Nice line in haircuts though.

IF, and its a big IF, we have an interest it must be as a stalking horse as Marco clearly does not suffer fools on the training ground...

 

[Professor Toffee]

If we don't have an avenue with Malcom anymore and aren't really interested in Neres, why not check out that Everton lad? Would fit I think, Arsenal have been faffing about for the last month with him.

They want a guy called Arsenal, but nobody's parents are that cruel

 

[Blue Roo]

Funny when Everton make positive moves we get excited isn’t it?

A lot of talking is done but only actions count for anything.

It all depends if your wing forward is inverted or not ,otherwise his heat maps would suggest he rides the bench

The problem is the 4231's forward line is reduced to 1.
By its very nature the lone forward is isolated - your starting with a problem, your compensating from the outset.
It easy for a good opposition coach/team to counter by simple looking at how tactics are compensating
then counter them.

Silva's solution -
start with the premise of having the midfield wingers invert when attacking, with the fullbacks overloading.
but that leaves just two CMs and two CB
So one of the fullbacks doesn't go and a winger with pace, on that side, can lurch, coming in as a wide second striker - with Coleman and Walcott preferred in those roles; with Digne and Richarlison dominating the attacking play.
It didn't take long for that to be countered. It was predictable and the holes easily worked out.
Walcott defensive tracking back was poor and Davies was trying to do everything and amounting to nothing and things can go south pretty quick.
It was amazing it wasn't worse but then again we did have Gana's singularly focused genius, with the others catching up trying to glue it together.

This strategy amounts to going down a rabbit hole - truly alice in wonderland stuff.

Walcott couldn't do the job that Richarlison was doing down the right.
It was only salvaged by Bernard replacing Richarlison and Richarlison replacing Walcott
(although I'd argue the real turn around was more to do with the supporters and players finding the Goodison spirit against the RS and beyond)
Which meant there was more balance in going up the left and right and more understanding and coherence between the centre players in Sig, Gomes and Gana.

But the turn around hasn't solved the problems that's staring Silva in the mirror.
There is nothing worse than a system that expects the players supporting the lone forward also having to track back along the wings.
No amount of tweaking is going to solve that.
The only times to use it is when you are going to sit back and play pure counter with the 9 and 10.
But generally its an admission your not good enough and in now way should the blues be using it.

With Kean, Richarlison and another class winger
And Delph and Gomes either side of a DCM you've got the making of a classy 3-3.
Even if we don't get anyone to fill these two positions we've got enough to there to start playing to it.
Especially when we've got Digne and Coleman marshalling out wide and Delph and Gomes doing the same through the centre.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Another Martina?

Martina Dry no olive

 

[Dutch Toffee]

They want a guy called Arsenal, but nobody's parents are that cruel

Imagine that and if your family name was Boring.

Yes but he could of been signed under false pretenses.

If you're told you wish to aim for top 8, but on arrival your team's goal is to get 40 points every year, can you blame him for throwing his dummy out of the pram.

He rightly or wrongly backs himself for a higher level, you could say he's like Pogba in play style and attitude.

Who knows in the right environment and under good man management like Silva is renowned for, all the problems could go away.

Yeah.

or Wenger....?

 

[Yarrgh]

Imagine that and if your family name was Boring.

And being hard of hearing during registration at school.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Hopefully it's either lemina OR gbamin. I get the feeling if we sign both eventually one will end up being a wage pinching sandro that we can't get rid of.

It's Silva and Brands, not Koeman and Walsh for God's sake. Get your head round the fact that this is a new Everton.

 

[PhilM]

Yeah.

Brands has talked about having players coming to the club with the right attitude: he doesn’t sound like one. Look at Gana and his professional attitude!

 

[Efcjake]

Keep selling the players please

 

[ricer10]

.....so ....no new signings yet !?

Does anyone have a short summary of this or bullet points

No chance gylfi isn't a starter. 14 goals and 6 assists last season
