    I was thinking the same thing - 2 cup finals in his first half season, huge lift all round the club, fans loving him, .... but we blanked out 8th place finish.

    Difference is last season you scored one. This time you just gave up.

    That’s like a comparison between strikers and not strikers. Or saying Allison hasn’t scored yet and he cost £75m

    Well Moshiri refuses to buy you a striker. Too expensive.

    Well it wasn't a full season was it. Got us to 2 cup finals with no players of his own, nothing short of a miracle. If you want to compare Klopp's first season with Silva's, which is what you chose to do, you have to expect a cup final or two yourselves then surely or there really is no comparison, not forgetting the fact Silva signed you all these Barcelona and Brazil players to make a proper go of it.

    Everton's upcoming fixtures: Fulham, Leicester, Palace, Man Utd

    Best case scenario they win one and draw one?

    As if Silva is starting from the same base that Klopp did ffs. We had Fat Sam playing anti football for half of last season and you’d just got shot of the bloke who came within a Gerrard slip of the Holy Grail.

    False equivalence ahoy.

    So why did you compare them in the first place? Nobody else did.

    I was merely highlighting the complete double standards that you lot employ.

    You never watch Everton and have no interest in us anyway, so you should probably shut up.

    Double standards?? Now you're making stuff up. You jumped in with a Klopp comparison when one wasn't necessary.

    Don’t get me wrong we’re far from the finished article but given where we where only a few short months back in terms of performance levels, it’s an encouraging start. The results aren’t the measure for me at the minute. I’d rather play like that and lose by the odd goal, than park the bus and try and cling on for a point, or hope for a set piece to get bodies forward.
