so we were not allowed to question Silva when we went on that 3 month run of absolute relegation form ..
ok.
Fine to question him sure but some in here were calling for him to be fired a few months into one one of the hardest ten around jobs in the prem. it was a ridiculous overreaction that was disproved a mere few weeks later and is hopefully going to be squashed for good this season.
He got a lot of stick for problems last season, some of them beyond his control, so he deserves credit for the recent form.
I think he’s doing an absolutely brilliant job with Brands to take us from the nadir of 17/18 and one of the worst squads in our prem history to the team we have now recording 10 clean sheets in 13, 5 wins on the spin at Goodison. We all accepted that it would take years to recover from 17/18 yet because Silva has moved us forward so quickly he’s now a victim of his own success and will undoubtedly be criticised if he doesn’t get top 4 two seasons after we had to get Allardyce in because we looked like we were going down.
