The right decision all day long for me,we need a manager with a mix of everything lol
It definitely will take more than one season. We need to trim down the squad (too many players who contribute nothing) and replace with some quality additions.
Silva isn’t completely without blame but needs to be given a chance to show he can learn and improve. We’ve seen enough promising glimpses earlier in the season (pre-derby defeat) to show he has some good ideas.

Real pressure is being 2-0 down before half time at home in a game you have to win to avoid relegation on the last day of the season. Fast forward to our final home game vs Burnley......lol

Not sure whether anybody else is as confused as I am at the moment. I feel like Sméagol from Lord of the Rings.
The sensible me understands that we need a period of consolidation. That the manager and DoF need time to put their own team/squad together, and allow new players games to get accustomed to the premier league. That we have the nucleus of a decent squad and 3/4 quality additions (plus 15 or so departures) will see us competing at the top level. That up until 7 weeks ago we were, on the whole, very happy with the direction the team and club were taking. That the very last thing we need at the moment is even more disruption, starting over again with new manager and players etc. That realistically, the conditions last night played right into the hands of a shock result, and losing away in the cup to a side from a division below is not that unusual anyway and possibly happens 40/50% of the time.
Then this voice in the back of my head pops up and tells me in no uncertain terms that I'm in denial. That Silva is a clueless coach who has lost the players. That we've been there before with Martinez and the longer he stays the worse it gets.
I really don't know what I want for the best. What I do know is that it's horrible being a blue at the moment and it's eating me from the inside.

Ok fine. So you want managers always sacked...every season....if we are crap for half of the season......even if they took us over after we had been crap/average for 4yrs?

Disagree on timings and on how starkly different the performances were across the timeframe.
For me, the change was probably post-Newcastle actually. The game after the derby. We should've put it to bed well before their late chances made it look like a fair result. And since then we've looked more ponderous and unconfident on the whole. But the weaknesses in defence span the whole season.
For you, four months takes us back to just before the West Ham game. So you think we were creating chances freely against Wolves, Southampton, Bournemouth and Huddersfield. And in the 19 games since then there's been a significant change. The data just don't back that up at all.
All season, the outcome of so many games has been finely balanced and often the result has not been a clear reflection of the pattern of play -- win, lose or draw. To me that's to be expected given where the club is and how long this team has been together. I think Chelsea is a fair comparison. They are seeing the same variability going from Conte to Sarri, just with more points and better outcomes given the level player they have.

Absolutely was the right decision but replaced him with the wrong person.

How long have we BLATANTLY been bad defensively, we get worse with every passing week. Regressing quickly and will continue with no new signings and no change in management.
Crap/average I said. What's your answer though?
Seasons over, what's the point in sacking him now? Play out the season, we're once again not winning anything, also not getting relegated. We'll have games against the RS and City that'll almost certainly end in despair. It's all about setting up for next season now ... Everton aren't we
Some, players and managers, do it better than others...we need one of the better ones
