2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Sheedy's right knee.]

or he could pick a team and tactics which match our player capability on the pitch based on the squad available to him....is that too much to ask or should persist with his ideals that he cannot meet given our results to date against mediocre opposition.

In other words. Bring back Big Sam

 

[Kev The Rat]

The effort levels were extremely poor on Sunday. You have to wonder how much the players believe in this fella.

I was thinking more Martinez myself ?

7th should be an aim that’s achievable. Everton and Leicester look to have the best squads for 7th. Though you’ll always get a surprise like Burnley. Maybe that’s Watford or Bournemouth this year.

A lot of money has been spent but all by different managers. You need concerted spending under the same strategic vision for it to bear fruit. Koeman, Walsh and Allardyce, with some Silva, have in parts put this squad together. All play a very different style of football and as such you have players in the squad that are inadequately suites to the new tactics. On top of that you’ve got players adjusting to a very different system. It’s going to take time. But people advacoting Silva’s sacking or him dumping his ideals to play in a way ithat isn’t what brought him success is madness. It’s 5 games into a season! A season that’s about laying the foundations. We do that well then maybe a Top6 challenge is possible next year. Top 4 is 2-3 seasons away if everything goes to plan. And by going to plan that doesn’t mean you see immediate results. Wouldn’t be surprised if we are bottom half in January. If the fans give the manager time then we could see big improvement in the 2nd half of year. Acting like spoilt children and calling for the managers head after 5 games? Grow up will yers

Well Silva is a poor mans Martinez so maybe Martinez would be an improvement. Having said that both would get us relegated anyway so it doesn’t make much difference.

That`s the spirit Kev

Given how much has been spent, we should be 6-7. Look at Burnley last season, with a squad worth a fraction of what ours is!

They got 7th. There’s quite a jump from 7th to 6th. That one position difference is a big one...it’s not like 7th/8th, or 8th/9th.

Yes lets pretend everything is ok and we are headed in the right direction.

Five games Kev, five games lol

Is take your point if we hadnt suffered through the very swift collapses of Martinez, Koeman and Unsworth in recent memory

Good grief.

It should be achievable - Spurs, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea are the top 5.

You’d expect Liverpool to finish around 12-13th....

It would be really hard to get us relegated in this league. Really really hard. The quality stops at 6th. I almost think you could be our manager Kev and we'd stay up.

Almost.
