Marcel Brands (DoF)


Recommended Posts

Good keeper, could end up being a great keeper.

But he’s not immune to criticism. Had a few shaky games recently and needs to get his head back on it.

Though he’s not alone. Gomes, Richarlison and Sigurdsson are having bad patches as well.

 Can’t wait till we have a few players like Lookman snapping at their heels.

I don’t get it, does this change his job? Everton haven’t said it does, so if it doesn’t then what was the point? I don’t get it at all, don’t get me wrong if it’s a positive thing then yay go Marcy! 

I thought that too. Maybe its a move that will make it harder for other clubs to pinch him.

instead of him taking orders from the board on the direction of the club, he's now a member of the board helping to guide the direction of the club.  means 2 things:

1.  he wants to stay here for a while

2. the people above him value him highly

 

all good things for me, i'm sure some on here will try and find fault with it (like they do most things)

I wonder how many 'Directors of Football' actually have seats on the board of directors? Makes sense really. Suggests that people at the top think turning things around from a footballing perspective is a bigger and longer term job than expected and need a specialist running the job from a high up position in the club. I wonder if this means he'll have more control over transfers?

I think when it says he'll have broader powers covering all aspects of the playing side at the club, that's an absolute given.

And Kenwright having less to do with anything important can only be a good thing. He'll be nothing more than a figurehead soon enough, thankfully.

I think Brands next signing could be a new manager and he needs to keep Moshiri out of the search , Moshiri has already shown he hasn’t got the knowledge required with Koeman Allardyce and possibly Silva going on the list as well. 

I trust Brands can find the right man if required and it will be someone who knows what there doing, to be fair it would be hard to do worse at this moment in time.

I think we’ll find that Brands will lbw looking more long term. He will give Silva at least another twelve months to construct a team that suits his style. He won’t be looking at replacing the manager until Silva has been given a real chance to build a squad and a team.

Marcel needs to be working overtime this month. It’s all well and good saying we haven’t got the money or the market isn’t the best. If he wants Marco in a job he needs to get a goal scorer in. Get down to South America and find someone

Went well with Straq and Leandro Rodriguez ;)

No amount of signings will solve the defence until the manager changes his approach 

He’s already said he is not changing his beliefs on zonal marking end of, so if he won’t change no option but to change him or we just carry on like we are worst in the league and defending set pieces.

Its the players attitude that is the problem. They dont attack the ball and its incredibly naive to think man marking would change anything. Its not a difficult concept, they just have to attack the ball when it comes in their zone, exactly the same way they should if the ball comes near their man in a man-marking system. 

Its the same attitude from set pieces that led to Coleman rolling a timid pass to Lookman on his heels leading to the 3rd goal.
