2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Marius57]

Lets wait until the end of today's game shall we.This is a game we really should win (as was Huddersfield).Fingers crossed we get the right result.

Agree we should definitely be winning today. But also think that it is going to be a slow process to fix following last season which was truly horrifying regardless of where we ended up. But short term signs are pointing in right direction when all is considered and the players look hungry again

Ok nothing has changed, the old first division is just like the premier league. Not a conversation i'm wishing to prolong if i'm honest, I only mentioned how i was falling out of love with footbal, i wasn't welcoming a debate about how football has never changed.

you're getting misty eyed over the period when we were one of the top dogs. Football has changed but only because we are now crap

 

[Toffeelover]

I know we wish a great deal for our club to get back to the excellence of the 60's to the 80's but appreciate the PL is the toughest in the world.

I'm trying to think of a top player we have sold who didn't want away.

 

[hktoffee]

Corners.

 

[EverBlue92]

Bloody get Mina in the side.

6 foot 5 beast who can help at both end of the pitch and he's scared to play him.

 

[BillBrasky]

Corners.

Set pieces have cost us 8-10 points already this season. There is nothing more frustrating.

Some praise for the boss after that. We haven't seen fast, attractive, creative football for a few years. We did today.

Silva is getting a good system and team put together. He must be surprised himself how the team is coming together after just 1 window.

Putting a smile on our faces and giving us a glimmer of hope. The change from last season is pleasingly drastic.

Top win that against a good side

 

[stretford blue]

Top win that against a good side

A defensively solid team and we should have scored more goals

Just need to start putting our chances away now banno.

True but the question has to be why they wanted away. We haven't been good enough for them to want to stay. If Silva gets something going here that mindset will probably change. It is the only way to keep them

 

[EverBlue92]

Good progress however he needs to get a result or 2 against the top 6 to really show our progression.

Against Chelsea and Liverpool away I dont want to see suicidal attacking football at the expense of basic defensive awareness.

Go into thes games with a tactical approach and do what lesser sides often do to us at home - frustrate, play dirty and utilise the counter and set pieces.


For Chelsea:

Pickford

Holgate Keane Mina

Coleman Gana Gomes Digne

Siggurdsson

Walcott Richarlison

Go 3-5-2 and keep it tight, stop them finding pockets of space to run into and utilise big Yerry from set pieces and also when on the break use the pace of Walcott and Richarlison to hurt them.
