Unsworth

[everton1952]

Unsworth was placed in an almost impossible position trying to revive a totally inadequate  squad, and the harsh results show he failed comprehensively 3 games to nil. He has to be in charge against Watford though. We need the win but I don't think that necessarily gives him an extension, unless of course the board have a target appointment which they are prepared to wait for. But for how much longer can we risk waiting?

[everton1952]

A nice comfy U23 job awaits him, until the next time.

[everton1952]

If Big Sam comes will he have a team of sidekicks with him or is he a one man band?

[everton1952]

We were lucky to beat Watford who deserved a point from the game. The Unsie team selection was awful with no goal threat, constantly losing the ball and the first half was a complete waste with just one good chance fluffed by Baines. Amazingly Unsie made no changes at half time and Watford punished us with 2 goals. Then Unsie to his great credit dragged off the awful Rooney,  and his subsequent substitutions lifted the crowd and saved the game. He deserves a pat on the back. I would not go as far as extend his tenure in the manager seat. 

[everton1952]

Roll on the hour when we have an appointment and whoever it is we will all get behind him, and put an end to this awful shit we are discussing.. We have an owner with money and a chairman whose heart is in Everton, so whatever they do  for the good of Everton, keep Unsworth or get Mourinho it will not be criticised by me.

Not fair to say he "failed his trial". I agree he should not be given the job. But how did he fail? Guardiola would not have done much in that space of time with that squad.

[everton1952]

Frankly yes, they were expected losses against better sides, and  Realdunc should  pause and take a breath before he launches into "he has failed his trial". Do not get me wrong, I do not want Unsie to get the job, but fairness and a balanced viewpoint would help.

[everton1952]

It's taking so long because Unsie is not their first choice. If things don't pan out as they hope, he may become the only choice.

[everton1952]

If a new manager comes soon and loses a couple of games "he is finding his feet", if Unsie loses 2 more games in the near future, panic will set in and the board's judgment doubted.

[everton1952]

There is that rubbish again about spending £140m.

[everton1952]

Unsie will be fine dropping down to his old job. I guess the new man will not be allowed to replace him?

[everton1952]

In a team so desperately lacking quality, it is outrageous not to play Rooney.

I take it you were nowhere near Goodison then for the Watford game? Wayne was embarrassingly bad and got hauled off by Unsie. Hardly surprising he was not selected today don't you think? 

[everton1952]

Oh Lor! Tell us what you see in dear Unsie which gives you any hope? (Do not say "he gets us")

[everton1952]

Clearly the board are not giving Unsie the job or why would they keep him and everyone waiting for so long?  Pulis would make more sense than Unsworth. There is no comparison in terms of know how and experience. I don't want Pulis for obvious reasons, but if he and Unsie were the only candidates on the planet, then Pulis gets it. Horrible prospect for sure but I am certain neither are in the running anyway.

Beni Baningime has looked head and shoulders above every other defensive mid this season. He deserves a start ahead of all of them imo. He looks the real deal.

Disagree entirely. He shone briefly like all the kids have done and will get his opportunity eventually. Head and shoulders over the other not very good performers? Deffo No.
