2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[DualityNSNO]

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

*Since Wham. then

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

We threw personnel on but we didn't seem to change how we were playing. We seemed to reluctant to just go 'right ok, long ball it'. It took until injury time to for players to want to do that.

I'm not having a go, looking at our bench I don't think its strong at all so it's difficult im sure. Half the problem comes from gana and gomes being knackered.

Just a thought for concern hopefully one that goes soon enough

Southampton knocked us out of the cup at Goodison as well.

I don’t think it’s a place many teams fear.

I looked at the clock, it was on 65minutes by the time we actually got on the ball in the 2nd half, for 20minutes we just didnt play any football at all.

I have no solution or reason for that, it was just something I observed.

Get back to Watford you phony.

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.

Did you think that all season mate cos up until the Newcastle game which is the last time I checked, we'd actually covered more distance than any other team, a strange stat if you're unfit like don't you think.

Is it customary in your line of work to see the most unfit do the most excercise, run more etc? Just interested as to a person not in that field of work, it would seem to me if you do more over the course of 14 games, it would kind of indictate you where fitter than the other teams?

Unless ofc in your work you go off a gut feeling on if a person is fitter than the other rather than use this new fangled lark of measuring fitness levels by this crazy thing called performance analytics...

Should have brought Baines on. Getting him to warm up for forty minutes seemed cruel.

West Ham might beg to differ
As would Southampton

 

[COYBL25]

With who
Bench is crap

Which is very sad but true.

Although the bench is stronger than last year, we still have no one who can come on and really make an impact or change the game.

There`s still a chronic lack of depth.

Baines wouldn`t have made the slightest bit of difference mate.

Not even half a season passed, we can't expect miracles. What I've seen is great improvement in the way we play. We're still a work in progress.

The first transfers are a complete hit so far, that's a good indicator of the future. Patience.

West Ham?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

West Ham?

Losing at home to West Ham - a truly woeful result

 

[hallamblue]

Also I don't want to be gloomy, but who have we played at home?

RS - No
City - No
Chelsea - No
Arsenal - No
Spurs - No
Man Utd - No

Our players all seem to burnout very quickly i find. I know this year we have covered more distance than others, and yes we use the all the new equipment and tests. It's hard to tell without seeing individual performance charts for each player. It may just be that some other teams have players who are just better athletes, and it certainly does'nt help that Coleman's pace seems to have gone. Like i said, i find we just seem to burn out at times and go soft like last night, which tbh could be more of a mental thing, i don't know im not a Sports Psychologist.
