My opinion towards Silva has softened since February where I`d have said pack him on his way, since then we have won 4 (Cardiff, Chelsea, West Ham & Arsenal) Drawn 1 (Liverpool) and lost 2 (Newcastle and Fulham). Such is the season we are having that we get some good results followed something pretty horrific. I wonder if the players and management believe their own hype and are caught over confident or complacent or is there something else? How can the players lack ability when beating top 6 sides but are capable of losing to relegated teams who haven`t won for months. It must come back to attitude and desire, whatever it is ultimately rests on the managers shoulders. He will be responsible for every time he takes the wins, taking the plaudits but at the same time he cant blame the players for defeats, they are his responsibility as well.
Probably still in the out camp, my feeling is that with MS we are likely to be inconsistent and you will not get anywhere like that. I also feel is this the best person we can get for the job, perhaps it is and that is a real indication of where we are as a club right now. I am certainly all for giving a manager a chance but is the best we can do relegated managers? I want this board to be ambitious and live up to our motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum, the club has lost touch with this I feel... #theblues
You list 7 of the 14 defeats we had but only 2 of the 13 wins.
That's just cock-eyed.
