2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Badge1878]

Well done Marco that was a moral victory.

It was mate. He’ll take a lot of positives from that, team competed all over the pitch, crowd demanding a performance. Wasn’t pretty, we know that, but we stood up and competed. Richarlison on the right was the unexpected but it worked. Need to build on what we saw today.

Their bench cost more than our starting 11 and we don't have a striker mate.

In a nutshell, this.

Isn't the whole point of a derby "form is out the window"? We've had better teams that never won and they've had worse teams that always win. I'm just tired of "moral victories".

Thought Tosun was a strange selection.

Would rather have seen Lookman come on with Richarlison up top.

We didn’t lose, but thought they were there for the taking 2nd half.

Lookman wasn’t even on the bench was he?

Was not. I'll be honest, the lack of any information on players is a real head scratcher.

Let's just agree to disagree on this.Not gonna have a fallout over this with you.We are on a great forum and opinions will ALWAYS be divided.

Forgive me if I am not impressed with a manager with 4 wins in SEVENTEEN matches.

None of us are but you can’t deny it’s been a much better week

Richarlison coming on to play on the right was clearly the right call because it changed the game in our favour. I'm not sure why on earth people are asking why it wasn't Lookman.

Bernard and Richarlison on either side of a good striker has potential next season.

2 good strikers is what we need.Competition and all that ....

Do not disagree at all. I just want to see us beat that shower. Just tired of not winning be celebrated even tho not winning here is kind of like winning because of where it puts them. When the whistle went I was happy but then got a bit annoyed because we STILL haven't beaten them in a decade.

But 100% happy drawing rather than losing obviously.

Very solid today minus a few brain farts from the usual suspects and also looked very solid from set pieces esp. seeing as the RS are the leading set piece scorers.

Very happy. Really rooting for marco to turn it around

 

[Lelouch]

when can we stop this nonsense of our CB's being right next to Pickford when he's taking a goal kick so he can pass it to them to play out from the back, Zouma and Keane aren't ball playing CB's, Just hoof it up we invite pressing teams to get easy goals/chances because of this garbage.

Another one, I had two United fans text me in the first half saying Everton were going to lose this unless our players got stuck in more to Liverpool. Thing is i dont think we did get stuck in to them as such, but problem is we knew we couldnt. If we tried to Atkinson was just going to give them free kick after free kick. Even Walcott was booked after 6 monutes, meaning he had a long game to not get a red.
By not flying in left right and center, we didnt give them extra free kicks, something we havent been good at defending, only 12 free kicks, which considering how much Atkinson would like to hand them to Liverpool is a sign we hung back, which for me is a good sign and something he must of told them to do. Dont play into the refs hands and dont give away free kicks we have found hard to defend.

Not rocket science is it?

Well in Marco, in danger of getting another free season if you keep this up.
