2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[deipnosophist]

...there are a lot of active threads regarding Marco, aren't there?...

And yet our last 2 managers managed to get them to 7th and 8th.

Koeman's first season we had Rom - so it's a moot point. What, 25 lg goals that season? That was the difference between us and the rest
.
Last year, Burnley won 1 game in 11 yet we couldn't catch them. I think Sam could have done more to try and catch up, because the rest of the league was so poor. The lg this year isn't much different but Wolves have come in with a settled side, even if the actual squad isn't that strong. Bournemouth, Leicester and West Ham have both brought in players to improve (albeit their still below us). The only ones that haven't really improved in terms of additions would be Watford, you'd have to say.

How we finished 8th last year just showed how crap the league is. The fact that we're still ninth now shows that - even with a game in hand - the teams around us have just been as bad / inconsistent as us.

The money spent isn't really even the main argument for me in this instance because bar Watford and Bournemouth, the teams around us have spent comparable amounts of money. It boils down to players being inconsistent/incapable of doing the basics, and the same can be said of the manager(s) - i.e. Silva, Howe, Pellegrini, Puel.

One of the really annoying things for me this season is that the league has again been proper rubbish from 7th down like it was last season and it was a season that we could have easily achieved 7th place and with a fairly large gap below us and we wouldn't have had to even been great to achieve it, just a steady slow gradual improvement throughout the season with room for a few hiccups along the way.

I look at what we should have comfortably achieved and what we have actually achieved and you have to be brutally honest and say that it is an absolute disgrace. The whole club should be ashamed of themselves and it should be the supporters who are being rewarded for their efforts patience and loyalty the last few months, not the overpaid underworked players.

Even if he wins a few games in these remaining fixtures, there is no guarantee we wont go on another abysmal 14 games and counting run next season. Needs more time my ass. Needs to be told no thanks, we will find someone who can do their job properly.

There would still be people saying we cannot keep changing managers and he needs more time and we are in transition if we were in the championship LoL. lol

My cat could get our current group of players into 7th.

He was vs. Man City away. Sure he made a poor clearance for one and then played everyone onside for another.

He has been a waste of space this season, given his huge fee.

Needs a run in the team before we can declare him a flop.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

If he had any redeeming qualities to his personality or character I might be able to get behind him even a little bit. But he's one boring, dull get. Hope he leaves our once-proud club as soon as is possible.

Makes me laugh how people think Silva is good enough to take us into the BMD era.

 

[Nymzee]

The PL is dead lads it doesn’t matter who’s in charge if we want 7th.

Makes me laugh that people still think there will be a ‘BMD era.’

The quality of the football is more important than league position initially, we're desperate for some passionate, entertaining football above all else. Start to get that right and the league position will look after itself.

I agree, the way he had that carthorse of a Millwall strike force in his arse pocket was awesome.

By all accounts they didn’t trouble us in the first half, he went off at half time after we conceded a goal that wasn’t his fault and then Zouma came on and we got bullied for the rest of the game.

I must have watched a different game.

Will your cat require compo mate if it doesn't work out?

Yes, he has a claws in his contract.

 

[mawders]

Silva is like that attractive girl/boy you've fancied for ages, she/he finally agrees to go out with you, the first dates are promising, and then you finally get her/him into bed and find out she/he is a total let down, but you're not sure whether to end it...
