Bill Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thought that since he will be our manager for an unknown length of time he deserves a thread of his own. I like the way he is and I'm sure he will get lots of respect from the players. With Chelsea, Lyon, and fellow strugglers Leicester as his baptism, I think it could have been a better time for him if Koemans stayed for the Chelsea game. But anyway, welcome David I wish you lots of luck in your new venture. Sev and Aidan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I recall the first time I became aware of Unsworth - I had some sort of footy annual as a kid, he was interviewed as a 15/16 year old..... I recall him looking 20 not a teenager. Around 1994-1996 I thought he was absolutely superb.... I remember him out muscling John Fashanu on his first game for Villa, Fashanu was full of praise for him.... I recall him making Mark Hughes lose his rag and stamp on him.... He did a complete U Turn from villa to join Everton - was about to sign for them, as soon as he knew we were interested he told the manager "I want Everton". True blue.... Good luck Unsy pete0 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Going off the presser I think he's got a very good chance of taking the role until the end of the season, performance dependant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't want to single anyone out, absolutely showers Ross with love (and actually sounded positive about him signing if he remained), he sounds like he has a very clear way of how he wants to play and wants to stamp his authority on the side. Every other word was win, there will be no sitting back and getting our arses handed to us. If we do get stuffed, it wont be for the want of trying. A lot has been made of Bainesy and his age and his legs but if he plays under Unsworth I am confident we will see him bombing up and down that touchline once again.

Bailey Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have already wondered whether Unsy would consider getting Dowell back in from loan but the last thing we need is another number 10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done what he's done in the U23s by being very clear about how he wants to play, organising his sides properly, and going out to win football matches. Different level but a sound philosophy. I really hope he smashes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others need a bit more time to develop. Dowell is one of those players So the clamour for him is a bit misplaced then. He’s where he needs to be right now, playing regular first-team football. It’d be stupid to bring him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only thought it because Unsworth is a big admirer of him and if there was an opening he would more than likely bring him back (but there isnt - and I wasnt suggesting he should). Dowell does look as though he has that eye for a pass not many others do. He plays more like he is Spanish than English. Physically he is nothing special so he just needs to mature a bit, so like you say, he is in the right place for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Back to Unsworth I do absolutely love his attitude - I’ve said it before but his whole ethos is to win, nothing less. And that is something I can totally get behind. And you get the impression that players love to play for him, that they’d run through brick walls him because he’d ask them to do nothing he wasn’t willing to do himself for this club. i don’t know if he’s the long-term answer for us but I’m more than happy for him to come in temporarily.

Sibdane Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 My choice would be Tuchel at the moment just because he's shown he can manage at a high level; however, how great would it be for Unsworth to go on a tear and prove that he, a true blue, is really ready for it?

Finn balor Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Liked unsworth as a player. Wasn’t the greatest player but give you 100% every week and I think he will Instill that into the players. Koeman I don’t think ever got us a club, Martinez did more but going off what osman says about Martinez giving mirrallas a free licence not to track back etc you can’t allow passengers in your side. I hope he does the business and gets the job. If the right man isn’t available then just let him carry on with the job long term.

Martinez did that to leave a 1 v 1 against the full back and an instant outlet. It's one of the things that won him the FA Cup as McManaman skinned the left back all game.

Was thinking this driving home today! It's a shame we have so many Dowell looks the dogs bollocks. As for Unsy, im very happy he is in temporarily and hope he does well and makes the role his own, But if he does it means we have to back him I January to bring in a striker, placing lots of money in his hands. Koeman had already pissed loads of it up the wall and I'm sure the board will be cautious. Best of luck rhino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just watched the press conference, thought he spoke really well, composed and talked about "us, the team, we" is what we need just now a leader who is a true team player. I really hope he does well, as fans we need to get behind the team, particularly at Goodison, on Sunday it felt as we were resigned to getting battered once again.

Gwlad Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Dignified and spoke a lot of sense. Didn't want to be drawn but obviously looking to get the players on board with his philosophy. Really feeling positive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried getting Geri or Mirallas isolated and prepared to take on their man but the quality of ball across was generally the problem. Someone on here used to moan all the time that x player wasnt coming back The most memorable example for us is the Arsenal game where Lukaku played wide against the full back.
