SKD Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 Performances give an indication, yes. But I don't think the actual results tell you much. I'll make a prediction - Everton will get off to a superb start, Silva will be lauded, and it will go tits up by Christmas. If Silva can, this time around, sustain a team's performances for more than a handful of months then I am happy for this to be quoted and for me to eat my hat. On a slightly related note, has anyone seen Watford's new home kit?? Awful IMO, doesn't suit them at all. You do realise that the reason it went ‘tits up’ at Watford was because Everton tapped him up and he effectively didn’t want to be there. Not saying that’s right, but I’m confident the same won’t happen this time around and I’m 99% sure they’ll finish ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 They won 22-0 yesterday. Amazing how Silva has transformed them into such a free scoring unit in such short a time. Even we could score 22 against a team of cones. In fact, from the goal I saw on Twitter, they were worse than cones, the goalkeeper actually walked away to have a drink rather than try and make a save.

Why they picked that level of opposition for a pre-season friendly, good only knows. But if I was anything to do with Everton I would be trying to hide that result away, not have it plastered all over the BBC.

angelman Posted 15 July, 2018 Share Posted 15 July, 2018 This Anderson chap. He's 25, which is weird for the dildos to sign as I thought that they usually liked them a bit older, has 1 cap for Brazil. Is there a reason why he only has one? I think it was from the 2016 Olympic Games. Now I realise that there is competition in the position he plays in, but for £40m, I would be expecting a full on international.
