2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[bignev23]

No ones even arsed either aren't playing or even if they don't make the bench,everyone could see they would be replaced permanently soon enough with jags looking likely to not be starting this this season bar injuries and Baines being phased out over the course of it if his replacement was up to scratch but still being a useful squad player when needed, both have been excellent buys for us as well.

Funny how Keane now looks like a top class player, now he’s no longer alongside Jags or Williams

And is free from the injured foot he had for most of last season
That seems to be the main reason he’s performing to a higher standard, although having a younger fitter Zouma beside him also helps

Regarding CBs I think someone mentioned it earlier that if they are not a unit then they look individually poor or more accurately...lacking something.. Williams didn't gel with anyone so didn't do himself or any partner any favours. Complimenting each other and knowing each others strengths and deficiencies becomes a unit and becomes efficient. Zouma and Keane are we can now say a unit. Same applies in CM.

Baines and piennaar was a very good unit and when one was injured or like in Piennaars case...transferred then both of them were not as efficient. Siggy with better players around him is now unifying with several players. Last season was a team of individuals with very few units if any. Hell of a difference compared to now. Point being is a player can make another player look good or average.

Zouma is way beyond any class Keane has, you can see it, Keane is recovered from injury and upped his game but don't underestimate how good Zouma is making him look.

Don't think anyone is underestimating Zouma but he didn't exactly pull up any trees whilst at Stoke. Maybe he didn't have the right partner at Stoke and Keane may be bringing out the best out of Zouma and vica-versa. Partnerships are the key.

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

Long time ago , but Beardsley , one of the worst days of my life at the time , was only 13 tho

What about Marco Silva though lads?

He's alright isn't he

 

[Tel001]

And we get dry bummed 3-1

We havent a. The strikeforce or b. the midfield taking their chances to go toe to toe away from home against the likes of Man City and Chelsea... yet.

At home with GP behind us by all means but the top managers earn their crust by knowing when to box clever- unless your one of Bobby Brown Shoes Disciples who would rather a 4-2 loss than a 1-1 draw...

Ahh bobby , my bleach bill and blood pressure has dramically reduced since those days.

 

[Tel001]

Right, so out of Jags, Keane, Williams, Holgate, Martina, Baines, Coleman, Kenny, Funes Mori - who was our most consistent defender last season?

Tough one but I’d have to go for coco or Williams , Williams was probably the worst player on the pitch for 90% of his games, that’s pretty consistent

Yawn yawn yawn sentimentality bol****s

I started responding then thought “what’s the point debating with a half wit”.

Thanks for the clarification.

Steady on Half wit ha ha
Just ruined my week

I've wanted him to do well obviously but was generally a bit cautious about his appointment. Early signs are looking good and I'm starting to take to him quite a bit.

Up the Marco Silvas and a nice win this weekend please.

He has a plan and thus far a good football plan. Its a matter of when, not if , when we start taking points of the top 4. Its to be sooner rather than later as well.

Cuco Martina, who was consistently hilarious.
