 Welcome to Toffy TV, joined by Andy. I'm going to have a chat about this. What has changed between the first half of the season and what we're seeing now basically. Obviously, but then we'll just come to the end of Everton's winter break. There's a game at the weekend. So I thought it was a good sign to just have a little chat about Everton's upward trajectory since Mr Silver was let go. At the start of December. Obviously, at the start of the season. I was hopeful, I'm not going to lie. I looked at our squad, looked at what else is around. Seeing the normal suspects were suspect. And that, to be fair, that's proven with the exception of Chelsea. Although they've lost only one game left in Everton. And we lost the majority of hours in the first couple of months of the season. United Arsenal, Chelsea, Spares. Although I didn't think Spares would struggle as much as they have at the start of the season. They're all seen to be in a little bit of flux as well. And obviously we've seen Leicester having a great season. Sheffield United doing well. And remarkably now evidently in that chasing pack as well before August to December. The start of the season, we drew, obviously none of the palaces at the season. Did me in there and we beat Wofford. The third game was against. That was two now we lost. We beat Wolves 3-2 didn't we. So it was a bit of a mixed start to the season. And then it sort of just got slowly and steadily a bit more inconsistent. And then we ended up in December. Bottom three did me in. The wheels had come off completely. And I think there's a few problems at the first start of the season. I think we're still playing the same system as the season before without Garnagay. I think expert plaster covering up those cracks. That was really the issue. I think that we didn't have an answer for not having Garnagay closed the back door. Unfortunately, Mark was still the style of player. He was very exposed to much of the back unfortunately. Because we didn't let teams take too many shots. But when we did let teams take shots with good quality chances. And obviously they put them away more often than not. So just the villa game where they scored. Or the bay in the game where we got beat as well. And I just think also the goals dried up as well. The players were taking the chances. Dom's obviously scoring now. But then he wasn't scoring. Guilfe Sigs didn't score 13 last season. Hasn't done anything this season in terms of goals or assists. So yeah, I think the issues sort of carried over from the first half of the season before into the new season. And I just don't think Mark knew how to write the problems. I think he'd lost his way really. I think the players had lost a bit of faith as well. Yeah, it seemed to be. You know, they seemed to be. I don't think they stopped trying for him. But I just don't think they had any belief in what they were supposed to be doing any more. Obviously he was unlucky in terms of losing. John-Philippe Gabamanu, who clearly evidently brought in hoping that he'd be the replacement for Garnagay. And then at the start of November, we lost Anzai Gomez as well, who was quite clearly our most cultured midfiel player. And then Bernard, Mr Monteswell. So I mean, I think the treatment of Bernard by Silver wasn't very good though, because I thought Bernard started the season really well. And then we went to Villar and lost that third game of the season. And Bernard actually played quite well. He'd scored the winner the week before against Wafford. And then he was out the team for a wobie. When he bought a wobie, he said he was going to play him in the number 10 role, which then put a question mark over Sigurdd's. And then I think there was just a little, I think the problem at Silver had. I think he was a good coach. I think it's been proven as a training ground coach. But he was so contradictory in stuff he said and things he did. I mean, he went on about four, three, three, and were playing this high pressure and this is what we're going to do. And to be fair, we did press high, but we didn't play four, three, three, ever. Well, if you look, I think Marcel Brands talked to me. I think the way they, oh, I can't remember who spoke about it. The way they looked at it in the summer was that he would play a four, three, three, go home as Gabamru and Delfish, a three. And Sigurddson wouldn't be in the team at all. And he probably would have gone possibly a wobie o Bernard and then with Charleston and Dominic Alvertley. But we never played four, three, three. We'll obviously get on to how that differs from Carlo and say I was establishing the system. But I think it was something in the distances four, three, three. And he never got there. And it would have been a transition when we started playing that anyway. So there was always an area of inevitability that it was, we were always never going to get there on the silver unfortunately. And it was too inconsistent. Then we'd have runs where we did well. I think the West Ham was always a bit of an outlier. Obviously we played that day with a wobie as a 10. More pace, got about it. And then we thought, all right, we'll get to the 10 and point to them back to the same old the next week. At the story of Marco Silver, really the inconsistency of decision making in team selection or tactics. And I think he was about one note as well in terms of there was only one way of playing to him. And we never really adjusted based on results. And I think that's another difference we'll get to with Carlo as well. Do you think, I mean, with hindsight for him, do you think he should have took more risks on what I mean by that? If your preferred formations are four, three, three, regardless of whether you think you've got the players to play it, would you not try to play it? I mean, four, two, three, one was just go to formation. Never really varied. I think there's two sides to that. I think that you should always establish your system early. Because if you plan to ever go, that's your medium or long term plan. Establish who can play and who can't play and early and then build on that. I think if you look at the recruitment that was done on the summit, it was to play that four, three, three with players who could be players 1v1, you know, you'd sense a DB, a wobie, a DB who could carry the ball through my feeling. We signed players who would help us with that moist key and obviously you can pick the ball up deeper and carry it into the half. And we just never played that way. Even, you know, in terms of training grammar, I just didn't see it sometimes. The possession through the phases of the pitch, the transition, it just wasn't there. We became very one note in the sense that we just crossed out to the left, you could see a whip of 40 crosses in it, never go anywhere. And I think teams started seeing off on us in the sense they knew how we were going to play, they knew what system we were going to play. I also think he fell in love with the idea that maybe his job was safer if he kept going for his things and his goals in the team and then when they ran out, I think he started panicking there, which is why you're seeing a world becoming a 10 and you're seeing other people drop out. I'd take the fall for players. I don't know. I just think Marcus Silver was never really confident enough. I think he lost his confidence very early in the season and never regained it back and I just don't think he was good enough to be honest about it. He went, obviously, fans had had enough by the time Norwich Beatles had good us and we had two tough away games to follow, which was Leicester and Liverpool. We lost both of them, albeit Leicester was an injury time winner. Liverpool was a moorlin. He was dismissed after 15 games at Mathieu from bottom. Fans, there was a massive disconnect between the fans and the players. Massive, yeah. And he went out the door and obviously, names were getting bandied about at the time. Duncan Ferguson stepped up and shut up quite a few people, I think, who said what was he doing and everything else. We beat Chelsea, went to 4-4-2, which I don't think we can overlook. He changed the system, the formation. I will point out the dunk sort of. This is why I say a lot of managers don't do, is they not? In a sense, humble enough to say, we're just going to get our hands dirty here, we'll try and get some results. A lot of managers don't do that because they've got this philosophy style and I think Marcus Silver, at times, could have thought, let's just get back to basics and we'll build on those basics. We never did that. And that's why I think dunk sort of got the fans back onside, especially obviously he's a hero to have it with fans, but also he got that grip back on the team that way creating. It didn't suit a lot of the players. I think some players really struggled in the system, but results were countered. Eddie, for the next man to come in, he did his role perfectly, really. I mean, we beat Chelsea at the most sackles, we've had in ten years, we've had the most sackles any teams put in this season. We beat them 3-1 and they were flying. Don't forget at the time, they're still in the top four, they were then. You know, got a draw at United with half a dozen, I think seven players missed the end of the game. We drew with Old Trafford and realistically, we could have won there as well, you know, Mason Green, but it was a bad and gold defender well. I think everyone had to get a little out of gas. If you look at the miles around the previous games, oh God, and we've had Leicester in the cup in a week and come back in two downs, so Duncan had kind of got that work ethic back, which I think the fans were like, yeah, this is what I want to see from my team with a bit more craft, that hard work that I think Silver overlooked a lot, I think at times it was like you've just said get your hands dirty, you know, go out and grind out it and nil nil away from home. You just didn't draw games, there's just nothing. And then, you know, we got Carl on Tlotty. To the surprise of everyone? To the surprise of a lot of people, yeah, a lot of people. And a lot of people in the media who still are crying into the punch, can't believe it, you know, have you got him? But we managed to get him and he came in and obviously he's tough, what Duncan's tough, you know, what Duncan put in place. He's got Duncan as his assistant manager and he's got David, Tlotty as his other assistant. And he's added a little bit of finesse to it and took a bit off, used the structure and lo and behold, we've amassed 17 points under us in 20 in, have a possible 24 under. And now we're back, bizarrely, even now, we're in you'd have to say a race for the Champions League. The door isn't shut, there's five points. And we still have to play Chelsea and we still have to play Manchester and we still have to play Arsenal. Would you say we're not 50-50 in any of them games? Well, I wouldn't, I'll be honest. Realistically, our evidence best, he could beat those teams. I said to, I was so unsuppered last night and it was like, it's about time we went and ended a few of these stupid records. We've got like, you know, I haven't won for 30, I went 25 years there because these aren't great. Exactly, and they're not great teams. Not any more than that. Still big clubs but they're not great teams, you know. And why not? Sheldonton have gone to Chelsea this year to beat them. They lost again this week around, all right, to United. But United had a flip of a coin whether they're good or the bad. Arsenal are the same, I think. So, you know, everything are right in it. But, I mean, what's the impression about Anciolotti so far, you know, with coming in? There's a couple of things, really. So, the most impressive thing is it's like there's a level of intelligence there. Now, it's not the most obvious thing but I think if you look at Marco Silva's game management that was a really big one. I know that people have them loving Carlos or whatever, because everyone's, you know, a backseat manager, aren't they? But they make sense. It's so easy to understand why he does things and whether it is too simplistic. It just works because you understand through it. And I think when you trust a manager I think that's the problem with Anciolotti. We trust them to make those decisions. It's very easy to understand what he's trying to do. So, last week when Walcock got injured, he was going to come on, he's a winger. But no, Sadibi, right side of the player on structure stays the same. It's easier to understand than I think. He brings that now to Marco Latry to get results that he brings to Tom on the other week to get an extra McField and he'll be like, why is Tom coming on? But it makes sense that he would, I don't want to lose this McField battle, I'll get numbers in McField, I'll put him in McField. So, that intelligence is there, that experience that he brings, so that's the main, that's one of the main differences. I'd also say that, you know, as we discussed, he's established a system early. Now, Sadibi may not fully form the McField, obviously, especially. He's not ready to play 4-4-2, but he's saying to the players who are going to be there next season, let's get used to this system. This is my system I want to play and you get used to your roles in that system and we'll develop on that as the season goes on. There will sprinkle a bit of players in the summer and we'll be ready for next season. It just all makes sense to build towards something, it's not, alright, we're going to go, that's 43s over there, we'll get to that eventually. We'll just pick up results in the meantime, it's not like that, it's like, I'm going to establish, this is a half season tilt at it, we're going to build on things, and I think that's one of the main differences, there's a clear idea in structure, which also helps Marcel Brand's bi-plays, because we know where we're going, so it makes it easier as well. There's lots of things I could say about it. That is a really good point. We were at the AGM the other week, me and Perth and Marcel, you live sheet anyway, Marcel Brand's done the presentation, and it was very easy in black and white to actually go, oh yeah, right, I understand now, I understand why we're not flapping on January to get a centre midfielder in, because they've got six on the board. Whether they fit or not. We've got this show, we've got that, we've got three strikers now, with Retialis and Tom and Moise Keane, we've also got Eumar and the Assas still at the club at the time, Shen Towsom has gone up with other Eversday, but it's easy to identify right side of the midfield, right winger, we've got one, which is Wolcott, say the bi-ok plays there, but we've got two right, so it was easy to actually look and go, it's like that right, and go and get to get half a dozen great players in, which is great, but you don't want to keep doing that, because the team obviously has restarted it. Obviously, a key thing in editing's up to in form, has been putting Retialis and Tom and I called the loon together, and again, Duncan Ferguson had the foresight to go, these two will be better with a partner, the pair of them now are the real partners. We saw that go for them, we saw Retialis'n go with, Tom made the run, but they were getting close together, if you look at when Sigurdson and Tom were playing, Tom was in front of Sigurdson, it didn't work, that combination, Tom dove tailing each other's runs away, Tom won the header, and obviously Richard's run scored that great goal, that's the type of, and this is what we've seen in the summer, people are going with Richard, it's a winger, he's a salo type, whatever, it's man-eye type, getting close to the goal, he scores goals, he went out striking this role, he still floats off to the right, floats off to the left, but he's getting in the box more and more, and he's causing more problems for people, and I think that was one of the main issues with Silver, he's playing a 4-2-3-1, you've got more orthodox wingers, and I don't want to see if Charleston would shore on his boots, that is not his role, his role is causing problems in the box and getting on the end of things, and I think that's why, don't be wrong, he scored goals last season, of course he did, he scored 11 games there, so he showed his capability there, and I think he's seeing it more now, his actual skill set suits being up front rather than out right, as an orthodox winger, so I think that works much better, so I think identifying plays better, key roles, and working them into that is another thing that Charlotties has done quite well, he's with Bernard, I think this coming off the left suits him more maybe than being an orthodox winger, when he was at Shaqdard Donets, he did play a 4-2-3-1 however, he's 3 attack on the field, it's rather than 1-10 and 2 wingers with a taste on a Marlowe's, so he's suited to that, he'll get better in that position as well, because although we haven't got a 10 now which is probably his best role, he will fit into that role once Carlott will obviously mould some of it more, so he's got options then, and I think that's a key, I think Carlott has identified what he sees and plays there, he's got them into roles there, and I think that will be key for the next season because I noticed the most, the structure even on the figs, and this was still an issue, because obviously things over, you get a hangover from previous managers, midfield is pressing way too high, like rushing up the field, whatever, and we concede a lot of the time early in the season, there's a lot of, we weren't allowing a lot of shots, when people did have shots, there were good quality chances, because once the press broke down, people were on to us then, and if you looked at the press numbers since Marlowe left, we went from one of the top five teams, I think pressing on the wing, now we're middle of the pack now, so we're allowing eight passes to pay defensive action, that's PPDA, that's the metric used to measure pressing, and now allowing 10 passes, allowing two more passes, pay tackle, pay interception, but that's not a bad thing, because what we're doing is, instead of rushing to try and stop the pass, we're getting our ducks in a row, getting the structure in place, and that's causing us to concede less quality chances, so on the flip side to that, it's under Marlowe's silver, we're wearing great at beating the press, we're very much in mid table side, under Carlo, sixth in the league now, in terms of when people press us, because the possession is better, the movement is better, the phase and transition is much better, you've seen that when we scored double Charleston, go out better the transitions getting, so I think what you're seeing is a more cultured and smarter way of playing for me, rather than the Marlowe silver frenetic, really it's the off the ball, we were very frenetic, but on the ball, very weak, we're like let's pack the box, let's throw it out to the left, work it out wide side to side, basically a big range wasn't it? Did we pack the box though? No we did, because what you had, is you had the field of still old man's on the right of your line, and you ended up trying to get combing in the box at times. You've probably been better packing the box with the way you were playing. You say people had the ball in the centre of the park, and basically you could deem it was out wide, but there was no one filling that channel gap, a simple pass against me, because they were all new, that the ball was never coming to them, it was going out wide, and I don't think it's even actually, will be naturally, I think all is still working on that, because I think we're still a working progress in the attack on way, and I think we'll get there, there's even better attack on force as the season goes on. I think one of the big things I've noticed is that the left popping up in those centre areas causing havoc, he's getting better and better in that position, you know, scored a goal in the last game, the new castle game the game before he was out standard, he should have scored two or three that night himself, he had more shots that night than I think he'd done in the previous half of those in games, and he spoke himself and said, that was how I played under Paolo Fonseca, he was, he was. I was off on the left, but I'd get into the centre areas and caused problems. And when you've got that, you've got your out and out winger on the right hand side, you're giving teams a headache of, we're overloading the right army basically, that's what I think, where there's times you try to overload on the left, and at times overload, I think there's a very clear idea of where you make them a field, as you have your left wingers, you're creative at the midfielder, and your right wingers, your direct player gets in the box to cover them. But he also switches the formation, so your left back becomes your left winger. And then the problem, I suppose the problem when we tried it before on the right, the out's never going to come inside and start with the balls off to people that do the box and clever like Bernard, and I suppose that's maybe something that a woby could go into for certain games with Bernard and make it a 4-2-2-2 coming in if it's going on the outside as well. So it's interesting just to see how it evolves, but I've been impressed with just the subtle changes, you're right with the substitutions. I mean, I went well, if you look and go, you're going to be a woby, maybe Moise Keane, I was thinking it'll probably be Siddabi, because Zahars, the threat knees on the left, it was Siddabi, you kind of understood it. There'll be times when you'll want a striker to come on, and he'll put a midfielder on, and you might go, but that's one everything, so you have to just go chant. He knows best to sit down and get on with it, and I think the calmness is the big thing. I think the key with Carlham as well, he's a player in his day as well. Rigo Sacchi was one of the great Italian managers of all time. He went to Silvio Berlusconi at the time and said, I'd like to sign a card, and he said no. Michael Angelo didn't paint with his hands, he painted with his mind, and he needed a player like Hans Schlossy in the field to have that intelligence, that guy, and I think in his management you see it as well, the intelligence the man has, the way he sets things up, he's pragmatic, he's Italian. I think that's good because in the first part of the season we just kept giving up leads, and we never came back, but I think that smartness is going to see us create more three points, because he's got something, there's going to be a slight hangover from the previous managers, you can't get rid of that until you get well into the rainbow. I think the level of structure and the smartness of much of it to play has gone up, and we're taking our chances as well. You will get times in football matches where Newcastle will happen. Football is full of variables. We can't script the football match. What I would say is there was a very note of difference after the Newcastle game in injury time against Wofford when we scored in the 90th minute with a break away, how we played those five minute stop of time out, and certainly the last game against Crystal Palace we were the team on the front foot in that injury time and we kept the ball well. We didn't do anything silly. In fact, we looked like we were going to make it 4-1 rather than making it 3-2. We kind of have maybe a lesson in the harshest way, but what we mustn't forget about that Newcastle performance was for 93 minutes it was an excellent performance. You're laying from that players, we're laying from that and Carlo we're laying about players from that and now he needs to work with them. I think another thing that you notice is that players are now making people say, Think of the Wofford game. I thought a lot of the time and really went through fits and starts in games because they weren't fit. They were pressing so much in training they were doing a lot of sprints but they weren't doing a lot of hard yards. I think he came in the fitness coach and said there's a difference. We're now installing a different type of fitness coach because we don't need to do as much fitness as we do over quantity. That's something he's always done to be fair at different things. He doesn't believe in running players into the ground but you do the work intense over a shorter period and that gets that fitness up. We do look fitter, we look much fitter than we have done so that's good. We've come back from behind, we haven't done 35 games and that's a big thing because it means when you go behind you've got that belief now. We were too little down at Wofford and we still won. That's what the top sides do. The top sides have that. They go behind and go, we've been behind loads of time, we're still in the game. So you don't panic. It's when you go behind and you don't believe you can come back that you start to struggle and it's getting that out and obviously the next tick box for him will be going to places like Arsenal and getting a win, going to Chelsea and being able to perform and being able to win big away games. We look at the mentality difference. We got beat by Ben in the first half of the season. We struggled against teams below us. We haven't played Sheffield other than Brighton. We struggled against those teams. I think on the call we showed a bit more ruthlessness and we are taking our chances a lot better when we get a good chance. We score it now. Obviously Dom's whovering chances left, right and centre, isn't he? Which is great that you've got your charts and scoring the harder chances. Obviously next season they will add so on to try and get even more goals but I think that's key really I know we're still going through fits and starts in games and that will happen but we're putting teams away that we should be beating and I think that was the difference on the Marco servers. We seem to have good performances against your teams that come on to us because they're not allowed just to go counterattack which I think Marco will like more but when I think the impetus was on Marco's silver teams to keep the ball I think we over company into it with that slow passing football and I didn't think he was able to work that and I think Carla with all his experience trying to break teams down he understands how to break teams down and that's what he's doing now. We went in towards the end of silver's reign we turned into Martin, this is evident slow, ponderous, loads of passes but going on with just a few of the the numbers that I've got I know you've got some you can give us a little bit deeper but just some basic stuff that obviously just from this season alone Silvet favoured the 4-2-3-1 played that every game in 15 games Anti-Lotty's being in for 8 it's 4-4-2 so there's a change there immediately in terms of having the next striker on the pitch which is something I've advocated for many years I don't understand why you wouldn't Average passes under silver 414 passes per game Average passes under Carla Anti-Lotty's 458 so another 40 plus passes per game however you want to have it using the ball a bit better Average passes under silver 13.5 under Anti-Lotty's just under 15 a 14.75 again an increase there, slight increase a tackles per game 18.5 under silver 16.5 under Anti-Lotty's I think what's shown as well, you look at the more passes because we've done more dominant of possession I think we're smarter with it as well we're not, as I said before about the press we're not trying to over press we're allowing teams to come on to us and then making smart decisions of when to get the ball but I think he said himself as well it's not all about possession it's not taking tackles that's updated where some managers put it basically it's a possession with the papers Exactly, crosses per game 24 under silver 24.5 under Anti-Lotty there's nothing wrong with that we've got a left back we've got a fantastic left foot and we've got Sadibi who throws crosses in so I've got no problem with that the problem I had with it at times under silver with Sheffield United game around 42 crosses Everton put in that day 42 and they just added everything away looking at it, I was looking again at the stats in that game Sheffield United had two shots a goal one on target, one 2-0 Everton had something like 20 didn't score or whatever but we were just putting English balls into the box and we had one in the first half a front which was Moise Keane who isn't renowned to be getting on the end of crosses with his head and the second half we had Toakson up there with them and Dominic Calvert-Lewin who was the best out of the ball didn't even get on the pitch that day it's the movements isn't it you can cross the ball but if there's no one pulling teams around if you're tying then up if it's just Dominic Calvert-Lewin and maybe the Charles the box is two men against usually four or five it's very hard you've got to wear a class quality ball every single time and we never really had two men in the box you've got to strike it and then the others should be trying to get in from it but as now you see how they do it Dominic's new post and you have like the goal you've got your full back ideally when we get better we feel that we'll have one or the other because we'll be able to get around make a big difference so just then numbers you're after having a hood of numbers but what else have you found in terms of like you know shot quality I know people are in love with XG I look at his quality of shots you can see it no creating and I think basically as much as the creating good chances they're taking and I think it's exactly the same I think we've created XG's 18 we've scored 18 goals with it so that means that we're taking our chances we should score on the goals you should score whereas on the market server it's a lot less that's probably how the product I've had with Charles from the better positions we're getting more players into the box scoring goals I think as I said with the press which is passes paid defensive action as I say that was 8 under market server which was top 5 or 6 in the league as I say we're more middle of the pack now we're allowing 10 but allowing 10 is probably more of a conscious choice in the fact that instead of rushing with fields trying when they're ball they're setting themselves in what's called the rest of the fence and then getting themselves into the position and then pressing which is the smarter way but we were top of the press in the last season at the start for the first up until Christmas but this is the problem under market server we allowed the second least shots on goal because we were suppressing shots very well through the press and the problem is when they did shoot the average expected goal the average expected goal was quite high because they were good so instead of conceiving half chances really good chances because when the midfiel broke down teams were coming on to us in breaking and scoring goals unfortunately and as I said before the other main difference is when people are pressing us we're smart on the ball to move into a pick and find and pass is better rather than on the silver where it broke down because we're passing sideways and people are coming on to us much easier I think by the end of the silver you really watched it it was really easy to work out how we were going to play and teams could really barely hit us up that night and that was the main issue with Evan I think now on the ranch lot he throws different looks at teams he overloads one side there's different things happening in the game and the players also understand the roles so overall I think in possession we're much better and out of possession we're much more structured so we're allowing less not as good as a chance and then it'll just be a case of cutting out mistakes then won't it and also sprinkling a bit more quality and that's the redefine margins as Ped said before hard work makes off a lot and also talent structure and coaching is one thing but adding more talent to be able to carry out that is the thing and I think we will someone else in the summer I mean it's something we spoke about on and off the camera even in the first half of the season that we felt as though Evan's squad was good enough to get in even without players like Garner in the squad and what's happened is Ferguson and then Anciolotti have got us organised and our quality is able to show through because we are working hard and it was something that Silver almost neglected was that organisation he did forget this philosophy which he stuck to as I say you've got to be humble sometimes to come away from that and I think I watched some games and if you say it seems pressing really high and I think one ball through the gap and it happened a lot and you were on to us and I think sometimes you've got to say to yourself as a manager and I think Anciolotti has experienced he's humble enough to say in this game we'll drop off a little bit a little bit more possession with them on the counter just the only games he'd do that in certain games he should see possession teams in certain areas, not obviously in good areas to allow them to come out to create some more space I think we lacked a bit of intelligence on our play on the market so that we'll see more on the goal on Anciolotti Definitely and I suppose that like I said before just the calm that Starrish brought to the place I think it's vital it's not always able you're not always able to do it as a football club we've got the best manager who was around who we could get he's got that experience and I think having a CV like he's got we've said this before it removes a lot of questions people will still question what he does the nature of football you love his question but there is to me a general calmness about everything it was like the last game against Palace he made four changes and Holgate was out the side why is that happening but it was a bit like well it's Anciolotti well no more than me questions the tactics and the team system and I was like I understand that I get it I may not agree with it whatever that's always personal opinion but I understand it from a logical perspective Michael Keane physicality bentech i physical makes sense now if it doesn't work Anciolotti will go right that didn't work I'll learn from that it's if he's learning isn't it Michael Keane left the end trust or he doesn't and that's what the last six months of the season about I know obviously now we find that it's housing a race for your but it was also about seeing who would fit his future plans and testing players and finding out what they are good at and where they fit and how they fit into his system and I think Michael Keane he wasn't great against Palace but at the end of the day he didn't lose he wasn't the cause of a loss so I think Carlos getting the trust and then plays and seeing what they can do I think example Cormen was a great choice to play him I know he likes to be he is a bit defensively flawed bringing Cormen was a bit more experienced it's a hard part from the assisting for the goal which never should have been a goal but it didn't really do much let's be honest even when he did get possession Cormen he put him into areas where he was comfortable with he didn't let him get past him a lot so he did exactly that's just true of management to being smart about things really which is what he's about and probably one thing with Silver is that he didn't seem to have any mistakes we seem to repeat some stuff it was basically throwing the same thing I said I think they said this a number of times you do the same thing over and over again it's the definition of madness isn't it I think that's the problem you played a 4-2-3-1 same style I played teams the fact they got to the point where when certain teams were playing I said we're not going to do well here because this team is built yet whereas Carlos I think he changes things slightly to work for every team which is what you should do as a manager he's just a boss he's just a better manager I certainly had questions before he arrived but he's got to be back since he became manager but whether people agree or not he knows what he's doing now obviously there's a long time to come we need to win trophies but up to now faultless almost a couple of batting on Newcastle or whatever but at this moment in time you can't fault them and he's been excellent you can't for them going forward for me who looks at recruitment all the time it would be so easy because I can build player profiles based on his system dead easy we've discussed players off camera it's very easy to say this is what he wants in the right back this is what he wants in the right winger it's very easy so it makes it much easier when I go what's a Marco Silva winger fail, I don't know and that's the problem and what system are you recruiting for with Carlos he's going to play 4-4-2 maybe at times he'll change that buying for 4-4-2 he might say it's 4-4-2 but it'll be 3-4-3 he'll allow us to play to build a team much more easy and I think he knows what he wants he's a manager of experience so it makes it much more easy I think the club will be humming quite quickly and also he has that voice way I think the players there's no question Fabian Delford a guardio last season he had obviously Marco Silva there's a big difference there I think when you look at Ancelotti he's on the same sort of plane as him I think it's all good for Everton all round there you go what's changed we've just got a better man obviously just for the clarification the numbers obviously the sample size of Ancelotti's numbers so far just a comparison I looked at it to see whether there was anything we were doing massively different than what we were doing before and there's changes they can't notice we see them it's tweaks because at this early stage you haven't had a pre-season you can only do so much in the time you've got I think when you sit down on what's just now there's structures obviously there's a real you can see exactly what we're doing there's a confidence there's a little bit of arrogance and there's a shape that wasn't always there at times it was there with Silva when they worked at the plant but a lot of times you'd scratch your head there was gaps that seems to be eradicated at the moment whether it continues and I suppose the biggest test it's going to have now we've got four difficult games obviously Arsenal away, Man United at home Chelsea away and Liverpool at home in the next four games if I were asking about the same results under Marco Silva though you'd go you know what I mean but under Ad Shloss you'd go the Arsenal game, the Man U game it's 50-50 games even under Silva to be honest under any more but with him a luch nawm go, well Arsenal away not a great side like you said great club but Ady a great side still on transition you know there'd be a lot, only one seven games all season so they're not that good Chelsea away, very beatable cast them on a great day and you're in trouble cast them on a different day and you'll be to walk on the park Liverpool is obviously the toughest one and no one's beaten them so whatever it is but it's a free hit in him have I got confidence we can get results yes, under him are we in the race for Europe yes, you know am I confident we'll get into Europe no cos I'm a never thrown him but you never know I just, as I say to people I always say to people I take each game as a club so just enjoy it Europe would be a bonus wouldn't it compared to it is necessary you know for where we want to be as a club cos we need the money and we need to attract the players and Carlos and the traction himself but that European football and I'll go for the squad it was unlikely when he became managed let's not go too far in expectations let's just enjoy the experience see what happens and fifth might be Champions League we might get fifth, who knows and Martin if ever and Martin if ever ended up the season in the Champions League would be one of the most bizarre seasons ever from pulling our air out in December to being in a possible Champions League in May but like you just said we've got to take each games it comes, it's a difficult and I want to cliche but it's a tough run coming up but we're doing well we're doing well 22.33 isn't it? Since Michael Silver went out the door so fair play to Duncan Fergus and of course Carlos and Chelsea big thanks to Andy Lennon what you think in the comments is there anything you've picked up on that you think you can just say that's what's changed or I've seen us do this which I hadn't seen us do under Michael Silver it was simply just he's a well-class manager and we didn't have one before that let us know in the comments section below make sure you subscribe give the video a thumbs up and if you want more videos get over and join us on Patreon you have a forum loads of exclusive videos on there you get every video early as well so get over and become a patron thanks for watching, see you later
