Possibly because he’s not prepared to give Silva any money due to the fact that he’s on thin ice at mo ?
Oh aye, that'll be it. Nothing to do with his calamitous loan deal system or the fact he wont ask the board for more cash because he's in their back pocket.
 
If you head it straight down into the path of an opposition forward who taps it in, it still goes down as a header won. Another one for the meaningless stat scrap heap.
Don’t twist the context we don’t seem to be able to win a header in our box yet we have a player who was the most aerially dominant at the World Cup and a defender who was second in the league last season for headers won.

Most stats are pointless without context or analysis.
 

Personally I`d send Zouma back, save his wages and sign a young and upcoming centre back, TBH I dont think Holgate or Jags could do any worse!
I'm not saying Zouma has been consistently good enough (far from it).... but isn't this another instance of how having enough time away can often make a player seem less awful in the eyes of some fans? Jags is deffo, deffo finished at prem level.

Holgate has a future, and it might well be here. But he would struggle with Coleman on his outside, IMHO. Particularly with a powder-puff midfield in front of him (Gana aside) refusing to track runners or compete for the ball.

I agree, merely pointing out they probably would not be any worse..... Looking at CB partnerships this season

Wolves (A) Drew, Jags & Keane
Southampton (H) Win, Keane & Holgate
Bournemouth (A) Drew, Zouma & Holgate
Huddersfield (H) Drew, Zouma & Holgate
West Ham (H) Lost, Holgate & Zouma
Arsenal (A) Lost, Zouma & Keane
Fulham (H) Won, Keane & Zouma
Leicester (A) Won, Keane & Zouma
Crystal Palace (H) Won, Keane & Zouma
Man Utd (A) Lost, Keane & Zouma
Brighton (H) Won, Keane & Zouma
Chelsea (A) Drew, Mina & Keane
Cardiff (H) Won, Mina & Keane
Liverpool (A) Lost, Mina & Keane
Newcastle (H) Drew, Mina & Zouma
Watford (H) Drew, Mina & Keane
Man City (A) Lost, Mina Keane & Zouma
Spurs (H) Lost, Keane & Zouma
Burnley (A) Won, Keane, Mina & Zouma
Brighton (A) Lost, Keane, Mina & Zouma
Leicester (H) Lost, Keane & Zouma
Bournemouth (H) Won, Keane & Zouma
Southampton (A) Lost, Keane & Zouma

Not hard to see who he favours... Perhaps this needs looking at!!!

Definitely agree that the CB partnership needs looking at. Simply don't agree that Jagielka is worth a second thought at this point. If a decent CB was available in this window, I could support the idea of cancelling Zouma's loan and bringing in said hypothetical good CB.
