2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[catcherintherye]

He had been the same since he came here, 4 good games followed by a blunder that sometimes costs us and sometimes doesent

Allardyce had 5 clean sheets from his first 7 games. He did this without (a fully fit) Coleman mina zouma, digne, gomes and richarlison

That's over half the team,

Allardyce did very well the first 7 games. The point is that was the pinnacle of his time here.

I was very impressed how he handled the clop question post match. He very calmly pointed out Klopp hadn't apologised to him, he's not impressed or bothered about his behaviour and then that he was proud of the players. I think some (even Mourinho) would have wanted to have a pop. A very calm response.

I also think it's interesting to state, I could not imagine him doing the same at Goodison. I had no problem with what Klopp but asked myself whether I'd imagine Silva doing the same. I can't imagine it. In truth while I'd probably lap it up if he did, a part of me would think it was massively cringey and small time.

He is incredibly calm on the sideline. I watched him at Chelsea and he was stood there, very calm with the occasional clear instruction. At no point did he seemed phased. Pep is very similar.

While I agree with everything you’ve said there.. Pep is as animated as anyone at times

Cold and calculated determination.

Klopp's buffoonery is a big reason they fail at the crunch. His team play in that image. Kick and rush, aggressive and no class.

With the financial backing Silva is capable of building us a fabulous side.

People compare to Martinez's first season. I think the early signs are even more encouraging. Its pretty well known Martinez inherited one of the league's best defences (only Arsenal, Chelsea and City conceded less in the season prior) and added goals.
Compared to last season, Silva and Brands have improved our defensive organisation, transformed our midfield into something very strong and created an attack which seriously threatens though needs some fine tweaking on finishing. The improvements in all areas of the pitch are more impressive than brown shoe's debut season for me.

 

[Khalekan]

This doesn't make any sense, at all.

Before Sunday, our form guide was WWWLWDW.

We lost to Man Utd. I was at that game and it wasn't our best performance, but was by no means a managerial blunder - we just weren't as good on the day (and we were a bit unlucky).

The draw was to Chelsea and we kept a clean sheet.

There has been a very evident improvement since Silva got here, the pattern you've mentioned simply doesn't exist, and it feels like you just don't like the guy, especially if you're even mentioning Sam Allardyce (a huge low point for us as a club) in the same breath.

A bit unlucky?

We were robbed.

It would be interesting if we could go back to then and see what the pundits/opposition managers etc. said about us. We’ve had lots of praise from both already this season.

There's this wonderful invention mate which allows just that, it's called internet search ;P

They were all fuming about our loans weren’t they?

We will win 3-0 tonight.
Expecting tosun to start

1-0 ball crossed in hits a Newcastle defender ricotches and tosun hits the loose ball into the net

2-0 richarlison runs down the left, looks to cross but instead cuts in and passed it into the bottom right corner.

Second half

3-0 corner comes in, flicked on by Keane and tosun headers in from 2 yards out.

In the first 20 mins Newcastle hit a 25 yard pile-driver looks like it's heading into the top corner Pickford some how tips it over and then shouts at the defenders.

You can drop the mask any time you want, pal. You're not fooling anyone here. If anything, you've gone beyond tedious.

It’s a sad life when you go on to an opponents fan forum and you pretend to be one of them
He’s either a retired bitter old man or a lazy kid sitting in his underwear in his mams boxroom

 

[Brisan123]

Not EVEN just a couple, probably just one in the form of a better quality replacement for Sigi (think Richarlison-level) and then we're practically guaranteed Champs League qualification if not better. Then we need to work on strengthening the bench...

Oh look another one
He wants us to replace our best performer this season

 

[Brisan123]

He wont waste too much time here with us if he gets us top 5 and is offered a new job at a club with more cash.

I think he will want to stay 3/4 years Dave
He has a reputation of a club hopper and he will want to show he can stay in the one place for a while and build something
Just my opinion

 

[Papa Shango]

Yeah replacing Gueye would be harsh...

(I am ignoring one half in the derby)

Aye.

Don't think we did enough to win the game, like, but definitely deserved a point.

That's the thing. A point is the least we have deserved against all of the top sides so far this season. Not once have we been outplayed. That is a sign of the progress that we're making.

It's a long process and we're already ahead of ourselves. Silva has his flaws, sure, but he's been excellent so far in a short amount of time.
