2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[St Domestos]

He’s obviously got some talent ,I’ve loved his passion of late something we never got off Koeman Allardyce etc ,I hope we shock a few teams before May and build something we can all approach next season with optimism I was growing impatient but it’s insane sacking managers every 6 months when it’s gonna take time to get the style of football we all want to see through the door

It wasn't just Pickford's head that fell off after the derby we played some good stuff prior to the catastrophe.

 

[blueblue]

I think Marco Silva would get a mark of 5.5/10 so far this season.
We have seen some good things , but not enough. We have seen some good football but again not enough of it.
We have seen some worrying traits like not being able to defend against poor teams but then in two games against Liverpool we only concede one goal which was almost an own goal.

The report card might read... shows potential but needs to do better.

I think there is little doubt he will be manager next season and the sales and signings to be made during the summer are of huge importance.

 

[Lanolin]

Perhaps he could help with our defensive frailties (yes, two clean sheet's - don't make a summer) or Dunc to make the tea cappuccinos.

Not sure why we'd do that. At this point in Moyes's last season we'd conceded 35 goals and kept 4 clean sheets. This season we've conceded 39 and kept 8. There's really very little wrong with our defensive set up, and if we hadn't conceded 3 soft goals live on BBC nobody would be batting an eyelid about our defensive record.

 

[Simon (brum)]

He burnt his bridges with the way he left for Man U mate.

Still dont understand this mentality!
What way did he leave?
So, he should have stayed and not been lured by a much bigger club with an unlimited budget and a great chance of winning cups year after year?
You might not have the desire to better your career but you can't keep blaming others for your own short comings, and that goes for anyone else who thinks this way about Moyes. For me Moyes will always be held in high esteem along with Kenwright.
But I dont think he has a part to play with us anymore though, look to the future not the past.

don’t you understand the sneaky underhand way he and Utd went about it ?

Then the baines and fellaini saga ?

to be fair not that I've read the original comment

would assume he means the way he went after baines & fellaini, telling them they should leave for a bigger club in united

whilst he isn't really wrong, not a good way to go about the team that made you and give you 10 years

Full support of Marco here.

I hark back to threads on expectations for the season and i remember the prevailing narrative that mid table, if Everton style of play was palatable and watchable would be a reasonable expectation for the season. I think that what we have got really, it was always going to be boom and bust football, putting down foundations and a period of adjustment.

The players he inherited where a fragile bunch maimed by the trauma of last season with soggy wheeatbix confidence. to turn that around and show a modicum of resilience is telling. He has also improved the performances of some players who had the quality but didnt produce it, Gylfi, Gueye, Keane and DCL, Davies, Kenny and Lookman stand out for me in spells.

When we look at the players we have relied on they are mostly his signings, Zouma Richalison, Bernard, Digne, Gomes etc.

He has done that in the context of walking into a basket case of a club, with a budget deficit, a bloated ineffective fragile squad that was a mismatch of players from five different managerial reigns before him.

He has done well in my opinion and their is plenty of mitigation for some not ideal results. Stability is key, we have built to a level and stability has coperfastend it, we have to look to the summer to build on the foundations put down this season.

Marco is the man, minimum three year job here.

Surely impossible to have absolute 100% full support of a him?

Whats the difference between Moyes and Fellaini and Marco and Richarlson?

At least Moyes had the grace to see the season out, unlike Marco , who down tools and sulked until they sacked him. IMO

2 wrongs don’t make a right and Watford fans have every right to feel angry over silva and Richarlison. I found the silva situation particularly distasteful.

No they don't, but Moyes respected our club by seeing out the season. At the end of the day, he was offered the chance of managing Manchester United, a team full of superstars,with a huge budget and Champions League football.

After 12 years of managing us on a shoe string, who wouldn't of jumped at the chance?

As for Baines and Fellaini, Baines stayed and Fellaini also jumped at the chance of CL football, more money and a higher profile club.

Nothing wrong with ambition in my eyes.

I don't get all the negativity surrounding Moyes at all, no i dont want him back as manager, that ship has sailed, but i do respect the time he was here and i certainly do not harbour a grudge about him moving on to try and achieve the things he couldn't achieve here.

Hard to argue with that. I hope he can raise his score before the end of the season though!

but again no one is disputing why moyes went, see the reception he got on his final game, it was boss

people started to dislike him when he began to show disrespect to everton ( over baines & felliani ) and that's where it all started

also moyes was only aware he was taking over united towards the very end of the season, it was kept quiet and wasn't all in the media to make the pressure worse

Fair enough but aren't we all thankful Fellaini went, and that Baines showed his dedication to us?
Moyes was the manager of another team, he said those things to get the players for HIS team.

Wasn't that because Ferguson wanted to see the season out at Manure?

Yes, partly I agree, but Moyes could easily of downed tools ala Marco at Watford and gone on " gardening" leave to see out his contract.
