Get this clown out of my club

I was walking just behind the coach when it happened, the Watford fans were walking alongside the coaches giving out abuse, they had a pop at the official efc one started giving it large. That was the 2nd coach, they then went to the first one in line and started having a go again, it was bodies bouncing everywhere at that stage. Someone said they tried to get on the coach to get our fans. Next thing just seen some lads pile of and start fighting them. Ended up knocking the lads into the cemetery gates. No stabbing but they got a hiding, one lad was out cold still when they put him in the ambulance, about 15 minutes later. I know it's not a nice thing to say but it seemed the Watford fans where looking for trouble.
The police kept all the coaches back till 6 whilst they dealt with it. When they let everyone go the first bus was still kept there, going past it was surrounded by coppers with a few on board. Can't be 100% positive but people where saying it was the brick coach held.

Not surprising if it was the Brick coach like. Those lads are game for it.

Some fans showing up the club again. Scumbags.

Watford fans showing up their club also, stop with the self loathing

I think Marco was telling him to go more direct/central with the long balls.

In the first half Gana kept deeper than Davies and Gomes.
In the second half he change it, with Davies being used as a deep pivot in the build up phase and then moving up through the next phase.

If he was shouting to go more forward...well typical of his madness throughout the season where in the last 20m he makes bizarre substitutions, then confounds it with bizarre tactical changes. Its desperate stuff.

If he's going to make a significant tactical change at the start - 442 diamond - then tinker with it significantly with it through the game...well what is he at? how are the players to make any sense of it and gel together.

I though this match showed just how much he hasn't been able to get these players together and getting them playing decent football.
Bc there was loads of space to move in, and time to work combinations, against a bang average side.
The diamond should simplify things and allow the players to create and work combinations without the complexities of other things he's being trying to do.

They're are bunch of clowns at the moment

Its a worry how poor davies long/aerial balls are. If he had this in his arsenal you could forgive some of the other stuff and more readily praise the rest.

yeah I looked at it again and I think he is telling Davies that picking the ball up from Pickford so deep and then just hoofing it forward was pointless as Pickford could have just hoofed it in the first place. That all said I think your assessment of the ask of Davies in the 2 halves is spot on. I am not really understanding how Silva took off two of his midfield creative options and then asked the third to play deeper without thinking he would create a huge gap between Gana/Davies and his four forwards he ended the game with?? I am not a fan of sacking the manger but that seemed tactically naive.

Yep, they were definitely out for trouble, unfortunately some lads reacted but that's beer and Everton for you.

Were remind me of that waster who won the lottery a few years back, spent it all on crap and built a destruction derby in his back yard, he was back on the dole within 10 years. We really shouldn’t have been given money - life as a fan was much better without it.

Some of them are game yeah but their sound, i go on the brick coach a few times and they've probably only got off because they've been provoked

They wouldn't have been on the coach ready to leave if they wanted to fight would they?

Exactly, shouldn't of reacted but ale and Everton add in Watford fans giving you crap from outside the coach would boil the piss

Like I said in the other post, the Everton lads were on the coach ready to go, not looking to fight, Watford fans obviously wanted to fight, not into all this self loathing of club and fans and being 'embarrassed' all the time

We can name our relegation documentary..., Everton - the lotto louts MKII... next season

Fair point. Still after the Millwall game you'd have thought they'd be wiser.

Thing is mate.

Silva isn't getting our strikers to miss from 5 yards out and 2 have done so in 10 minutes.

The criminal lack of interest in signing a striker.is at fault for that

This really. We’ve had two years and screwed it up......our club, in the past, would have bought Harry Kane or whoever was best, now we don’t......
