2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Benedict]

I pretty much agree, but it'll take a good while to bring all of them in. I mean, how much would it cost to bring in those 3? 30m for a right back, at the very least 50m for Lozano and God only knows how much for a world class striker. We've got more money than before, but we're not a super club. It's gonna take some time.

We need to bring those type of players in to put bums on the seats of our new stadium, mind you going by how inept our board are i don't think that would of even crossed their minds

It's gonna take time and patience is needed, we are still in a period of re-build , I for one feel positive for the future.

Just gonna update this

Regarding 'fine margins' that have been mentioned within this thread.
Correct me if I'm wrong, we have yet to win a game that we've been behind in.

Home Games
Huddersfield -H (1)
West Ham - H (0)
Newcastle - H (1)

Away Games
Arsenal - A (0)
United - A (0)
Liverpool - A (0)

Overall = 2 Points out of a possible 18 from loosing positions

Cup Games
Southhampton (Cup) - H (Knocked out)


I may also be wrong on this but we haven't lost a game we've lead.


Home Games
Southampton - H (3)
Fulham - H (3)
Palace - H (3)
Brighton - H (3)
Cardiff - H (3)
Watford - H (1)*

Away Games
Wolves - A (1)
Bournemouth - A (1)
Leicester - A (3)
Chelsea - A (1)**

Overall = 22 Points from a possible 30 from leading positions

Cup Games
Rotherham (Cup) - H (Win)

There's a 'pattern' we don't seem capable of chasing results
That said I'm more then happy with Silva


*Unsure were to place Watford as its the first game we've lead and ended up going behind.
**Again unsure were to place Chelsea given it was 0-0

What about games in which we were drawing before someone scored?

Rumours of a back 3 against City.

That run of crap home results against utter turd opponents is cause for concern and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with saying so either.

It's a weird one, as we've still only list once at home this season, all season only list once to a team outside the "big 6" and only lost two of our last ten in the league

I don't know where i stand on Silva. Away from home we play much better however we have only won once so something is not right there. At home I can't think of a game we have played well in for 90 minutes. A few patches here and there. We won't be hitting 30 points at the half way point so he needs a stronger second half of the season that's for sure.

We've played arsenal, Chelsea, united, the derby and shortly city away from home in the first 8 away games, I'd say that would have a lot to do with playing better away but not winning many tbh, the three aways we've had besides those 5 we won one, and drew the others both 2-2 whilst down to ten men in each game, and should have won both. Both games also came prior to us having 2-3 if the new lads available such as gomes etc.

Should have sorted the midfield out at 25mins when they took over just left it and paid for it.

With who
Bench is crap

I think he is let down by every single staff member at the club, i'd start with a total clear out of every fitness and training staff that has been at the club for more than a year or 2, we are week physically and mentally, the difference in fitness levels between us and the good teams is shocking, what do people do at this club

I work in Sports Science as an Exercise Physiologist and i can see how unfit some of our players, i have said for the past few years we need to change that side of things at the club. Id be very interested to see the clubs pre season training routine, because it does'nt look enough to me, id like to know if they are just getting players 'fit' or are working to actually improve players physical and mental performance. It's been a problem for a number of years at the club imo.

 

[Brisan123]

Mate did you think he was going to score i didn't he run to the ball told the keeper were it was going..

If the keeper knew where it was going ie down the middle , then why did the keeper dive to his right ??

 

[andy4efc]

Worried about lack of plan B so far. Granted we have little on the bench but seems to be very much personal changing and not actual tactics.

 

[Brisan123]

That Fulham boss though LOL

To be fair to him he’s unbeaten in the last 3 weeks lol

Our pre seasons lately have been a true reflection of the club, utterly shambolic, i'm absolutely shocked at how badly this club is run

So yesterday when he put on 2 Strikers and then moved both our CBs upfront, that wasnt a change of tactics?

Only if you pretend we didnt get spanked by West Ham.
