I'm not even going to try and dispute it, it's just an honour to talk to you Ric. Godspeed.

Are we blaming all Hull’s goals conceded prior to Silva’s appointment on Silva now as well? Richard Keys is such a bell.

Every bad spell is 'relegation form' if it continues. I don't expect it to continue until the end of the season although I don't think we will have a run of form that sees us make much progress up the table. I reckon we will finish any where between 9th and 14th, and this is hugely disappointing but should not be quite as surprising as it feels. I think it is hard to overstate the complete disarray of a squad Silva inherited and you simply don't sort that out in one window. The summer will require another batch of offloads that will not be easy with the wages they are on and some more quality additions. That would get us back to being 7/8 as a minimum but will take another season again to be competing for top 6 sadly.
Serious question.
Why was it the defensive quality of the Martinez 1st season down to what he inherited but the same is not attributed to Silva?
He has inherited an absolute shambles. They were rubbish last season marking man to man.
He's mostly only had 2 of his signings in defence playing all season. Surely he can't be judged until the whole defence is his.
We don't know but he may have tried them playing man to man in training and they are even worse at it than zonal. Last season would back this up.

We were under Martinez, Koeman so it's not a new problem. The solution is either sort the players out so we have players who can play in a team that wants to play football and score goals without losing the ability to defend OR we adapt our play to suit the players and start playing how we did under Allardyce. I'm assuming the way we played football under him is part of the reason most of us wanted him out and not just because he is a vile morally void imitation of a human?

sorry how is that the same, we'll begin with silva has signed 3 new defenders, ( with 2 of the 3 often always used as part of the back 4, I say this because not often zouma and mina play together )
secondly, our defence in Martinez first season was good and bobby done well to keep that side of our game together, silva has not done well because they are still making the same mistakes over and over again
I will admit though he 100% needs a new RB and needs to bin keane off, that he has been dealt a bad hand with

Ok stop being dramatic you two. Seasons over, not like wanting to throw a cup competition is it? We would have won naff all last night by winning.
How about the concept as I put in my post that winning last night would have masked over many MANY weaknesses In the team as it always does and out the false sense of belief that we have turned a corner when we haven't.
How about the idea that we start winning against the likes of Watford, Cardiff , Burnley etc ? How about we put those.points and wins on the board and actually show some progress rather than win one game against the champions and then bottle it at the weekend.
Because if you hadn't already noticed, we did that 2 weeks ago against Huddersfield, won and it meant nothing because we got beat a few days later.
Not everything in football has to be dramatised guys. Perhaps this blue after 30 years wants to see some genuine improvement and not a jarg one night only performance that gets reversed within 4 days and puts us right back to where we were before last night.
You've just backed up my reasoning. He plays his 2 and needs to replace the other 2. Mina fitness issues haven't helped.
As for Bobby doing well he didn't, he got lucky his 1st season. Once he had to shape his own defence it went downhill quickly. Silva on the other hand has been unlucky with what he has inherited.

Laughable
No manager ever has a team that is solely his, unless at the club for at least 5 years
A good manager will shape a team around his signings and the players already in the squad
He could have 4 world class defenders available to him, and there would be no improvement.
It is all tactics and Silva is pretty inept in this area...

well no im not backing up your point because it's about management/coaching
that fat mess was a lot more organised with a worse defence than silva is ( obviously he was a lot more defence orientated )
re bobby, he didn't get lucky first season, we was excellent in that season, his second season was down to our players just getting older, howard baines jags were all getting on and distin retired and we didn't replace them
