Record against top 6

He's the same distance from the top 6 as Alladyce who inherited the Koeman mess. Silva has had it easier, full preseason plus 5 starters. 

Would the gap be this big of Alladyce stayed and had Digne, Zouma, Gomes, Bernard, and Richarlison to work with, I doubt it. 

Allerdyce is a specialist for swerving relegation by building a strong defensive foundation. 

He was called in, went back to basics with the squad and gave us a steady finish to a horrible season. 

Silva has then adopted that same mess that Allerdyce inherited us in, minus two players, and implemented a whole new style of play. This takes time, a lot more time than just drilling and team and forcing results. Look at Klopp for instance. 

In the last 10 games we are 5th in the form table, with 7 clean sheets and 14 goals, and only City and Liverpool have conceded less goals than us. 

The foundations of what Silva seems to be trying to do are starting to be layed down, a lot can be done better, like conceding two against Fulham who have won every game since they have been relegated, but hopefully that will come in time. 

I've been very disgruntled myself when we have lost games, but after calming down and having a look back on our over all form, it's encouraging. 

Allerdyce if still at the helm would have likely been on similar points, but the pattern of the season would have been completely different, including not being able to best the big sides, and implementing that style of football that not many successful modern clubs like to play.

No - the gap would have been bigger and I wouldn’t of enjoyed 10 seconds of football he would have severed up!

They wouldn't have signed for us so it's academic, he would have signed a few 30 yr + players on 1 year deals with no long term plan apart from building his bank balance.

@Aidan

That's exactly what we needed though, some strong foundations to build on. Realistically we would have got Digne, Zouma, Mina, Gomes, and Bernard in as I assume they were all targeted by Brands. The main difference signing is that we'd have brought in a central midfielder rather than Richarlison.

Given what Alladyce managed to do with last seasons unbalanced mess surely it's only logical that he'd have done better with the new signings brought in. 

Silva also had us in relegation form.

As for beating the top 6, Hodgson managed to beat Arsenal away this season. Alladyce has roughly a 1 in 5 against the top 6 which is a decent record considering he was managing worse teams than us for the majority. 

@barryj

He had the likes of Anelka and Jay Jay Okocha playing decent stuff at Bolton. 

@Wiggytop

Why wouldn't they? Other than Richarlison I don't see why any of the others wouldn't have come. The Barca boys would have been brought in by Brands and Bernard probably convinced by the money. Other than Zouma would any of the players have even heard of Silva? Talking of Zouma, he only come for first team football, if anything Allardyce would have been better for him.

What has allardyce achieved in football other than being known for a brand of football that makes his own fans want him gone? Has he ever won anything? Other than a playoff final I think I'm struggling.  

Silva has won the Portuguese second division, the Portuguese cup and Greek league.... he's not even 44 yet.

Never been relegated so he's one step ahead of Silva there.

Done well enough to get the England job and most Newcastle fans will admit they sacked him too soon. What clubs have finished higher without him? Most end up relegated which just shows how good a job he was doing just keeping them in the league.

Pete I just can't believe you seriously would have Allardyce over anyone. Marco got relegated with Hull after taking over in January in a hopeless position but still beat Liverpool along the way; I'd personally rather get relegated playing his way (not going to happen) than stay up playing the fat twat's anti football.

He got relegated with Notts County..... and he's never won a trophy!!!! Marcos won a league and a cup and a second division and when allardyce was taking his first management role Marco was 13 years old....

Sam got the England job and got sacked after one game cos he's a greedy classless twat.

Fat Sam is a consolidator, a greedy dinosaur, a bitter man who is envious of the managers who dare to play football..... all because in all his years managing all those clubs he won FUCK ALL.

There was nearly always a place for Allardyce to try and save clubs from relegation and in the main he was successful at that, but would his style and brand of football take teams to the next level I would say not a chance and would I want to see it here no I wouldn't.

Pete most Newcastle fans protested week in week out and forced Ashley to get rid of him, they hated his style of football it went against everything they believed in and the vast majority of Evertonians felt the same way

He’d have won titles with Real Madrid, don’t forget...

Strange that while Liverpool are the only team we've not beaten over that period they've beaten us fewer times than any of the other five.

I think its our record against the bottom 6 you need to worry about.

Is it that bad Bill?

Unquantifiable by the same criteria because the bottom six change every season, it'd take a fair bit of work checking year on year to come up with the answer.

Looking at that, we should be able to easily surpass our previous points tally of 15. Biggest difference this year is that with the topsy-turvy nature of this season, the "Big 6" aren't performing up to their usual standards.

Any other season, if you looked at that and saw we had collected 14 points against the "Big 6" with 4 games remaining, you'd assume we were squarely in a position for Europe. Now, we are still very much in the mix for a top 4 finish, but because this season has been so bonkers, those 14 points don't carry as much weight as they would in any other season. 

Funnily enough, it could be the 4 points we took off Leicester and if we can claim 3 against West Ham that might make the difference. Never would've thought that heading into the season
