2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[hktoffee]

The issue is the replacement.I have no faith that Moshiri will get it right.He won't pay out the big money, for a proper manager.

Conte.

 

[Khalekan]

Sorry, that’s me done with him.

I never wanted him but gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Up until now.

I would not fire him right now as we all know what a manager hunt mid season leaves you with......but I would like someone else in for next sesson otherwise a relegation battle will be all we are involved in.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Needs more time.
Also needs to get some work done on defending set pieces. Which, of course, I'm sure he is will.

We can’t afford (financially or playing wise) to keep changing the manager. The players have to step up as well. They’re the same players who were in good form at the beginning of the season and went to Anfield and matched Liverpool. One moment though has completely destroyed the whole season confidence wise and they’re refusing to put in the effort to get over it.

United sacked a manager mid way through a season and that's turned out alright for them

Because they finished second last year, were woeful this year, didn't trust Jose to buy players and Jose himself kept outing players in the public.

Context is important.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The space in the centre of goal from that knock down us frightening.

 

[charlie atkins]

Eddie howe.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Of course it's zonal marking. How can players be outmuscled if for two of the goals they have two players 5 yards out free with no one marking them

Oh I know why it's because all the players are marking a bloody area instead if where the players actually are

No they were all going for the same ball because there’s no leadership from the back. All the players going for the same ball isn’t zonal marking. It’s a shambles. Immnot
Blaming the manager for that. What happened to players taking some responsibility for a change.

 

[Blue83]

I don't think Marco is the man to lead the team into the new era

3 out of the last 4 managers have been more 'ambitious' appointments. perhaps its time to go back to basics.

 

[mkrudden]

I disagree with the bolded completely but, on the "top" part, it was more along the lines of "if he's not a TOP manager why bother?" We're aiming to break in to the top 6, if the manager is just ehhhh then why bother with that manager?

Because that notion would suggest we can get whoever we want. And we can't.
The real question is whether he could improve what we had under Koeman and Allardyce. Could he build a more positive team. Could he finish 7th at least this year.
These are all TBCs so I'm not sure why there is value in sacking him.

 

[Athletico Timbo]

You know when they say stick with him and give him time. How much time do you need to coach defending against set pieces?

 

[hktoffee]

Needs more time.
Also needs to get some work done on defending set pieces. Which, of course, I'm sure he is will.

Will never do proper defending just like Martinez who can’t setup a defence.

 

[mkrudden]

Eddie howe.

...is another manager that would need more than 6 months before he could be judged.

 

[bring the ghost on]

I don't know why he got the job in the first place.

We tried our best to pay £10m to Watford to give him to us... before he was sacked a few months later!

I refuse to believe that we live in a world where THE BEST WE CAN GET was a manager who relegated a club and then got sacked from a DIFFERENT club all within a year.
