Can a manager go at HT?

This is atrocious. Liverpool are letgal and we do not know what to do with the ball

Think our fans will leave at HT now

So what happens now? Gutted for them tonight and Marco. But we cant keep going on like this. Players did show some fight finally bit we keep dropping points

Well. What to do, what to do?

You guys n gals know me from previous times like this - I back the manager until I can no more, which is usually quite a bit after the hardcore have been shouting n screaming since the original appointment. I like to give the manager my full backing, and tend to find the positives in the appointment. And continue to let hope and the positives drive my thoughts until it's impossible to do anymore. I was the same with Moyes, Martinez, Unsworth, Koeman...Fat Sam never got a sniff to be honest, I sussed that fucker straight off...and now Silva.

Silva. Clean looking, young, exciting, a touch of positive arrogance, well thought of within the game. The project was on. The man for the next 5 years, to take us forward into a new stadium and up the table. There would be wobbles I said, but it's all part of the learning curve. So long as we show we are learning from said wobbles, then that's fine. It would take a good 2-3 years to stabilise. To get rid of dead wood. To get the squad balanced. And we would inch our way forward bit by bit. We needed to think of it as a long term project. Stop rushing, sacking, spunking cash on shite. Silva. Brands. Sorted. Patience needed.

But now I'm at that 'end of the road' point like I eventually got to with the previous lot. And the route of it, for me, is seeing how we have not learnt from the mistakes. When we went through that rough spell last season (Dec - Feb?), it was woeful. We were making the same mistakes over and over. Then we seemed to get over it, fix it, and push on. Happy days. But to then see the exact same shit happening again, those exact same errors - that's unforgivable. Really, it's not acceptable. It reveals that Silva is clearly lacking in key areas of his mentality when it comes to playing the game. That we are seeing the same sort of performances, coming unstuck time and again, defensive errors and wasted opportunities time and again, you all know what I mean.

We've now lost 7 games from 13. We are now looking at losing 15 - 20 games this season. Unforgivable. For the investment, that's diabolical. The squad we have, ok, it's not a top top squad, but it's better than 7 defeats in 13 when you've only played a couple of the real top teams.

But what next? I've no idea. I know the likes of Moyes, Unsworth, Big Dunc get a big NO from me. But who else can we get? Poch? That would be amazing and I'd slash tyres if we haven't initiated any contact. Realistic? Nope. I've no idea who. I mean, Emery was the cream of the crop a couple of years ago but he's struggled too, so you just don't know.

What I do know is that this is really disappointing, the whole project over the last few years has been a car crash. And I've no idea what we do next. Sack him, start again for the, what, 4th time in recent years? More money spent, more players to get rid of at a fraction of their cost, more expensive contract write offs etc.

I just find myself shrugging my shoulders and shaking my head. More questions than answers I'm afraid.

Hope you've all been well by the way

Cant disagree

If silva is gone. I want gallardo at river plate but that’s probably pie in the sky. Benitez for me. No sentiment. 

Id have big concerns with Gallardo. Benitez is a good shout as long as he is not in retirement land.

Would like Simeone (obs language barrier though), Alegri may be helpful to Kean? Both unlikely. Viera done anything of note?

Not sure what damage Sociedad and Sunderland has done to Moyes. Arteta too much of a risk.

As you can see...really struggling here

Ive no idea where we are going to go next. I think Brands will be scouting options already behind the scenes and we will appoint another foreign manager we may or may not have heard of - with no PL experience Im guessing. Dont see any obvs British Managers out there at this time unless we revert back to Moyes with money.

So...... Id like to see your ideas on 1 British and 1 Foreign manager who could be next realistic managers for us. Brief I think would be top 6 finish using players who are not quite top draw but have the potential to be and at mid price range maximum

Ive been resistant to giving him the nudge but my patience has gone now. I was happt when he was appointed but now think hes had enough time and is out of his depth with expectancy here.

Looked like rabbit in head lighs today

Needs to go

I also thought he showed a lot of the reasons why he had struggled to maintain a first team spot. His decision making was poor at times and he was shrugged off the ball by Pukki at one point when he was last man. He seemed a bit rattled at times and when he is rattled he loses his concentration.

Just looked too young and nieve I thought today. Got bullied

Davies. There can only be one after that performance.

Can we do the opposite and start a poll for the player who needs a taxi out after their performance in a match? Might need a mininus though at times

Totally shocked at what I saw today. No midfield what so ever (only Davies came out with some credit) and our spine non existent.

Players who are not good enough for out top 6 hopes (could say top 10); Sidibe, Gylfi, Holgate, Walcott, Tosun, Scheids.

Showed them to be squad fillers only - I know we have major injuries but that should not be the main reason for tjis mess.

We need someone new in to ruffle feathers and tell it like it is.

Id give Dave Watson a kit for 2nd half! Good to see him at half time

& the armband

Only Davies and Richarlison have turned up here so far

Everton 2 - 0 Norwich

Digne screemer!!!

1st game of the season for me in the flesh. Cant wait. Daughter in tow too.

Oddly, her last game was Norwich in the league cup - think it was Bobby Martins time.

Goal-fest would be really nice but a win will do to keep us moving up the table. Awful run of fixtures to come - although sometimes that suits us.

Agree with keeping Tosun in - although not sure what DCL has done wrong to not start recently. Our injuries not all9wing for mych change in the line ups - Iwobi I guess could start.

Our road trip begins, Park End here we come...

Martinez inherited a good squad and added Lukaku. Think the players saw through his bollocks after a season. He let the reigns off pretty much Moyes team attacking wise and we got some good results. He couldn’t sustain that and he lost the plot totally. He should have been sacked earlier than he did 

Disagree agree sorry...why would player performance dip because they saw through his bollocks. The season before they were ALL on a high with such a good prev season.

His tactics and training approach fcuk'd him eventually.....................plus his love for Alcaraz and McGeady fcuk I shuddered at their names

Why we talking so much about a manager thats just been sacked by another PL team who will never come to Everton.

I"m not on the sack Silva bus just yet.

If he waa, i have no idea who is a realistic candidate that us fans woukd want. I can only see another foreign manager being chosen who has no PL experience.

Cant see any Brits getting it.

People seem to have erased just how shit it was at the end of Martinez’ reign here. I wasn’t far off being as bored as I was with Bisto Tits. 
 

His first season though, that was an absolute joy. I thought we were seriously going places. 

Completely this!

Matinez was too brash - criminal not even practicing corners or set pieces because the % of goals scored from them is too low. Well, we managed to concede a fair few from them during his time!

Not sure if his 1st season was a shot in the arm, a fresh start for the players or just luck!

1st game of the season for me in the flesh. Cant wait. Daughter in tow too.

Im amazed and scared of the talk that Gomes could be back for the end of this season 

Southampton 0-2 Everton

Tosun!!
