Come on now. Understand your suffering but don't be silly.
I've had to get a blood pressure monitor for wife and my normal readings are fine until I took a reading on 90 minutes and it was 210/120 ffs. Not worth it mate.

You had a systolic reading of 210? That is very high. Your vascular system is close to exploding. If I were you, I would stop watching Everton...lol

who created tosuns goal today?

Oh yes whopee, let keep playing him then Bare in mind he strolls around doing nothing most of the time, he doesn't care about Everton one bit him and a lot more need to be moved on.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Just wait until May lads when they win the league.

It will get worse yet this season.

 

[captainvindaloo]

I'm having trouble remembering when we last actually looked like a team! Maybe some of Martinez few memorable honeymoon games? Moyes short highlight seasons? How far back do we have to go to find a team that clicked, and looked unbeatable? 1980's?

 

[CatalanToffee]

What a sickening season

Out of all the cups
No chance of top six
Liverpool look like they'll win the league

We are lucky that the relegation is far because the first part of the season wasn't so bad.

 

[PhilM]

Let's just hope now that all the fans get back in one piece after the slashing and what not before hand. The bus I usually go on got a few windows attacked.

We have the worst manager I'm the PL and a massively disjointed team, get Sigs gone asap he's taking up a very important team position and is useless there, also send out DCL on loan to a championship team that's his level, that would be a good start. Please Silva do us a favour and resign

I'm all for Silva having the season but it concerns me that there isn't any urgency in the side. I would have liked to have hoped even if the tactics didn't fit the players or the philosophy hasn't stuck yet that there would be some desire in that team .

For the sheer amount of money spent we have just been easily beaten by a championship team. I said it many times over the thread that we were so slow and didn't seem to want to go and win at any point.

My real worry is this doesn't improve in the league after today. If we started winning in the league then sure, seasons still over but we start getting that feel good factor back. I can't see that happening considering the teams we have struggled against already.

That's where I think real enthusiasm will be sucked out the club. Silva in the summer will have a massive uphill battle with the fans and we can't sack him next season and run into the same issues we had last season and end another one in November.

If Silva is to go then it needs to be decided now , seasons over so we either back him for another year or get rid

 

[Jamiednm]

I for one am ready for our humilitation on prime time national television.

Yup.

 

[tsubaki]

What are we to do until August now? Anyone?

if we are to get better - Silva immediately changes the way we play, and we get better

if we are to get worse - Silva doesnt change the way we play, or the board panics and brings someone else in who proceeds to play in the way we play

why do you keep following me around... im waiting for @davek .. not you

ignore function is the saviour

 

[Norwegian Cow]

he did more than most of our attackers today tbh, not that it was much.. when none of our attackers perform, then you cant single out one player among them, you have to look to the manager and what he practices in training.

 

[AUXLEN]

Needed this, haven’t enjoyed supporting this club since Martinez first season - really hoping I can find other things to follow. Nobody should be subject to this

Was just saying this myself...

 

[bluesb1970]

Absolutely disgusting, to concede one would have been bad, to do it 3 times is shambolic. You can talk about the 2 blatant pens or the handball for the second all you want as a defence but there was absolutely no way we were deserving of anything from that game and that falls on one man's head and that is Silva, we have defended like excrement for 2 months and he has done little to change it bar the game at Burnley on Boxing Day. It's not good enough and something has to change, either the tactics or the manager and right now I'm starting to pull towards the latter

Until tonight I would’ve totally disagreed but now I’m starting to see some real weaknesses in MS. The zonal system obviously is not working. We’re laboured moving forward. The players we’re constantly fouling in areas where milwall could cross it in. Pickford consistently tw@tting it out of play. All of these rings the manager should be managing. How come their player was allowed two touches in the penalty area to score the winner? Surely that’s the zone you mark the most!!!!!

 

[zook]

who created tosuns goal today?

Sigurdsson. Despite being utterly anonymous and being detrimental to our play which means we struggled to create anything because the fella we rely on for them type of passes hides away for most of the game.

He gets the assist, just as he got a goal last game, but he is quite clearly a big part of our problems and why we struggle to pass it about comfortably.
