Everton Thread - 2021/22

Brighton have won 2 games in 15 and the Potter hype train still shows no sign of slowing.

Fair enough you will know about an overhyped manager.

Any other manager would have us 15th in the Championship

 

[L4EV]

Do you watch their games? If he had a half-decent striker they'd be absolutely fine

He’s a good manager but good enough for one of the top jobs in England? Really? And no I don’t think Bielsa is either.

Aye. Pretty football but doesn’t win much now. Doesn’t sound a recipe for a top job.

He bought Welbeck as one of his striking options. His own fault.

I said he was good enough for Leicester, with the potential of a big job afterwards assuming he did well there. He still has a lot to prove but I think he'd be worth for a shot for that Leicester/West Ham/Everton-tier of teams the next time they're looking for a new manager

They had walking man-penis Danny Mills and a couple of other ex dippers on the dippers-Brentford 5 Live game commentary, who were only a live mic away from calling Benitez a ****. I’ve never heard a group of players be less enthusiastic about one of their ex managers in my life.

Funny you put Everton in that tier when the table shows actually they’re in our tier.

Kenwright quoted as saying he wants a Ferguson/Rooney partnership to step in . Not sure i want Colleen or Sarah anywhere near our shambles of a club.

Kenwright seems determined to destroy the club he loves. Rooney would be a total disaster. His off-field antics alone would rule him out of any senior leadership role. You need to get Kenwright out to have any chance of success.

They're massively underachieving given their resources, though. Leeds are playing just their second top-flight season in the best part of 20 years

I keep hearing about Everton's decent squad, just looked through their players, not much there if i'm being honest

Would agree in principle but the big teams in the PL don’t really hire managers based on how they’re doing at clubs like Leicester these days. Pep, Klopp, Conte, Tuchel all hired from abroad after winning silverware.

I've looked at the starting eleven a few times this season and thought they had enough to get three points out of a fixture, certainly at home, and then they end up getting turned over by teams who are looking over their shoulder at the trap door.

Arteta? Lampard? Espirito Santo? Pochettino? Solskjær?

 

[Mancity1980]

I like Everton. They could do a lot worse than get Joe Royle as interim for the rest of the season with big Dunc alongside him

They would be better off playing those two up front than as a management duo.

Agree which is why when people diss Bielsa I’m left wondering what people expect from Leeds at this stage.

 

[Postman Pep]

Bit of a rash decision have they consulted with Everton yet?

 

[L4EV]

Arteta? Lampard? Espirito Santo? Pochettino? Solskjær?

And how many were successful.

Agree with you. To be doing what he’s doing at your place with the players he has is fantastic.
Most other managers would still have you in Championship I agree.

Yeah you've been completely fucked by injuries this season. Bielsa is interesting to me because his pros and cons are so pronounced. Like the way Leeds were winning the ball back high in the transition and then countering ruthlessly against West Ham today was as good as Liverpool with inferior players. Everyone knew instinctively how to work that situation and they were amazing at it

But on the other hand, going man-to-man across the pitch even when it leads to 5-0 losses, and just full-on not marking people at set pieces constantly makes you question why he can't get some of the basics right

Personally I find his teams to be fascinating whatever happens

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Well that wasn't the question, was it? You said they don't hire managers with that kind of profile but they often do.

Also, personally I found Solskjær's tenure to be incredibly successful :)
