2019/20 Marco Silva

[Goat]

No mate you make sure you have the correct fact to hand not just think and hope you know more than everyone else.It's a pleasure.

I never hope I know more than everyone else, its always assumed.

 

[Gareth Hill]

No Jose on super Sunday today

No DoF job is the same, that is indeed correct.

But every club employs somebody who oversees recruitment.

Apart from Eddie Howe who just rings up Liverpool when he wants a player.

Apart from Moyes, we've always had a head scout and a hands on CEO / secretary to augment the manager.

Sounds good to me right now. A simple chain of command with the manager having final say on players.

Wrongly.

There needs to be something positive from the club in the next 24 hrs and not Coleman coming out with sound bites about it starting now, or Flo the cleaner at Finch farm getting a bouquet of Ferguson for 10 years without a day off.

You;re not giving that point the credit it deserves, tbh. You dont just adapt players not suited in two months of football. Blame the DoF for the necessity to adapt his new players.

He's got Schniderlin, Delph, Davies. All premiership players for years. But insists on playing a 2 man midfield. The only team in the premiership bar United to play that way.

The only reason the 2 man midfield worked to a point was due to how good Gana was at breaking up counter attacks and play. We don't have that now.

So...you change, you adapt. You dont keep playing the same way.

He has 2 of the 3 CBS from last season. And neither of them have been injured. He was hardly left without one. Even if we had brought one in, they would still be on the bench as wouldnt have been put straight in. Substitute CBs are not the cause of Marco being terrible.

And gueye going, while a big loss, having delph and schneiderlin available should still be enough to beat most of the teams we have played.

Yeah, and Keane was hopeless withiout Zouma and Mina was awful or unfit to play last season.

Blame Martinez for that.

 

[Gilbert..]

Wolves won at city today with 23% possession. A manager who had his side drilled. Everybody knowing their job. And he changed it at half time when he knew a player he had could get behind city.

Compare to silva. Thinks possession is everything. Players looking clueless at defending set pieces and corners and doesnt change anything. Only plan is when losing throwing everything he has on the bench in desperation.

Its chalk and cheese management. One knows what hes doing. The other is clueless.

You'd paly those as a MF three?

Good Lord.

So few words yet so exciting

 

[ForeverBlue92]

For those saying its too expensive to sack a manager - it would cost approx 2-3 league places to sack him and Boa Morte.

Its completely worth doing.

 

[davek]

Blame Martinez for that.

No, Martinez was in command of the players coming in and he had good and bad in...and on the cheap all told. Barry, McCarthy and Lukaku first season for a total of £14M set us up for top 5.

You dont need a DoF.

Fans are fickle, no doubt. It was only the other month he had a 94.7% approval rating in our survey...

And I made that defence on number of games for Koeman, here.

But Silva's a dud unfortunately. His bad runs are always really, really bad runs and that's not a good sign.

Koeman's bad runs were equally persistent. One spell from end September to mid December in his first season here saw him win only 1 PL game out of 10.

Be great if there was something in this and we got rid of Silva and got him in for the international break.

He could teach them left behind overhyped and overpaid turds into how to defend at least.
