2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[zook]

Hoofed? I don't recall that. I remember VVD putting it anywhere at times and we were always winning the ball back in midfield and trying to start a counter with some nice through balls. Yes we played long balls up to DCL and it wasn't working but we were far from Allardyce tactics. My argument on Sunday and I said it before kick off, start Cenk. I felt he would've gave VVD a torrid time.

Not a chance in hell Cenk Tosun would have gave Van Dijk a torrid time

Cenk is a snail, VVD would have had no problems at all with him
Dom is strong and can be quite pacey at times, DCL was the correct choice.

A win saturday and he may start to convince me he deserves a 2nd season providing we dont fall off a cliff edge in the remaining fixtures.

Still don't think he's the answer long term and we were always going to play well in the derby considering the atmosphere however I cba arguing the same points and think the board dont care aslong as we aint relegated so fully expecting him to be here next season.

roma sack their coach.... interesting

 

[chippy1722]

I think he was definitely perfect for that time in our history, and did a great job. He's slightly old fashioned, or not right for a more ambitious period of time

I agree with this but Since he left we are still waiting for a new type of manager to progress fulfill our ambition. I don’t we will be seeing on in the foreseeable either.

Tosun makes Jagielka look like Linford Christie he's that slow.To be fair though I don't think any of our 'strikers' would have given Van Dyke any trouble.

I meant the physicality of him. Just keeping him busy and being a handful.

Moyes was in my wifes office the other day. Very,very dour apparently.

Harry Catterick was also very dour Steve, but a good manager. I am not sure personality type is the sole differentiator on managerial ability.

Reading his comments today on Walcott and I still don't see why he's getting a start.

Lookman hasn't taken his chance but still hasn't been given anywhere close to the opportunities Walcott has. If he finally leaves this summer I won't be surprised. I'd want out too if Walcott was starting ahead of me for reasons not even the manager can identify.

Walcott gets picked because his pace gives us an out ball and keeps the opposition defense on guard. If Lookman had a bit of pace in his locker, he'd have probably got more opportunities.

Written about Norwich........
"The demand for promotion in this league is huge, so much so that managers sometimes fail to survive a full season, let alone stay for a second.

That's particularly the case for sides sitting in mid-table who didn't quite live up to expectations and it applied to Norwich at the end of the 2017/18 season, but, unlike others, they opted to give Farke time to make things work.

The truth is that the previous campaign was one of laying the foundations. It allowed certain players who have come in to establish themselves as first-team regulars, but it also gave existing squad members a chance to prove they can work in a new system.

It even took part of this season to get things going. A 3-0 defeat to Leeds at the end of August saw them sitting in 18th, nine points off the top, and you'd have been hard pressed then to make them title challengers.

It's rare that a potential title-winning manager's future was under scrutiny in the same season they would achieve success, but that's the situation with Farke. A quick Twitter search shows the demand from sections of the Norwich faithful for a change as early as August."

Whichever manager we have would face the same challenge of building a team from the disparate parts of previous regimes recruitment requirements.
It is akin to asking Dr. Frankenstein to try to fashion a functional human from the body parts collected by three separate Igors fulfilling three contrasting order lists. It was always going to take time and was always likely to encounter difficulties and detours en-route.
There is a tendency for any critique of our current squad to veer between ‘ useless, sell ‘em all’ and ‘ should be challenging the top 6’. For me the truth is more nuanced, we do have some very good players but as a team they do not compliment each other as yet.
It is getting this blend right that takes time and patience. So far Silva has taken a mid table side and has them , well, mid table , hardly a disaster. What he has had however is time to assess which parts of the team work well together and which need improving. Realistically this can only become apparent under the stresses and strains of a competitive season.
Silva ,working with Brands, will now have a definitive view of the improvements he will wish to incorporate going into next season. If we dismissed him now whoever we appointed would be faced with the same problems and would require time to make his own assessments. We would be losing another season for possibly no gain.
All successful managers have required time, patience and a measure of indulgence to build sustainable winning teams.

A common sense position. I still can’t wrap my head around people calling for him to be sacked already.

Now there's a refreshing change.

If you hadn’t noticed Tosun came on and was woeful.

He only came on for 15 minutes. Had that one chance at the near post which he scuffed. I just think he should've got the start.
