2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Nymzee]

But I think we all knew 15/15 wouldn't really be done didn't we?

We all expected at least 9-12 I'd say. Anyway, we haven't got them, but there have been positive signs. We need to get these new players in the side and start to see where Silva wants to go with it. Sunday was diabolical and we've made it much harder than it needed to be.

End of the day, there really isn't much separating us from the Wolves/West Hams. That's what needs to change over the course of the season.

I genuinely expected 5 wins in a row to be honest.

I didn't. I expected more points, definitely, and us to at least win all of the home games. That's the frustrating thing. Our home form has been excellent overall in recent seasons and we need that to improve. Bar S'ton the last two homes games have felt a bit 15-16 Martinez which is definitely a worry, but one I think we can fix.

We've looked better away from home but in both games have been hindered by going down to 10 men.

Well that's a bit naive mate.

Moyes has basically hinted he has unfinished business here.
I would take him back in a heartbeat.

He has his experiences around Europe now, he will also get a transfer budget that he always wanted.

Look at the league finishes when Moyes was here and since he left.

There`s a reason he hasn`t got a job.

As @neil999 said, football`s moved on and he hasn`t

He`s the heir apparent to Allardyce, a manager to bring in, when you`re team is in down the bottom around Christmas time.

Sacking him now is just silly. I want to see what he can do with a front 4 of Walcott Richarlison Tosun Bernard.

I've possibly forgotten one, but I think we've only won 5 league games in a row once in the 20+ years I've been going, which was in Martinez's first season. I'd have been absolutely astonished if Silva had come in and turned things round to that extent.

 

[Nymzee]

Well that's a bit naive mate.

It’s not naive it’s just how I view the quality of the PL.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'd take back to back wins a couple of times first. Can barely remember any of those recently nevermind 5 in a row.

West Ham & Huddersfield last December. I can't think of many more?

 

[MikeH72]

The fact you view us as being of sufficient quality we’re capable of winning 5 in a row against anyone definitely is naive.

And we took 1 point from it this time

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yeah. Sake lol

 

[MikeH72]

And we took 1 point from it this time

Took 1 point from Bournemouth away and Southampton home last year, 4 this season.

 

[Jamalio Danubio DiCanio]

Really?

You expected a new manager coming in, impelentimg new players and existing players into a new system, to hit it off with 5 wins out if 5.

I know Chelsea have done that but the quality of their squad, and individual players, is not comparable.

9-10 point would have been brilliant start despite the fixtures looking relatively easy on paper. Beat Huddersfield at home and drew with WHU at home at least. They are the points that have been dropped.

 

[Zezti]

I wonder how many seasons it will take until people stop saying they'd have Moyes back.

Its embarrassing.
