Really - you can take have an informed view without knowledge or experience of football? Would you trust a 'doctor' with no medical training or experience to reverse your frontal lobotomy?You don't need to have or indeed be experienced in football to know exactly how bad your football team is and has been playing, but hey continue to [Poor language removed] the fans off and sick your head in the sand at mediocrity
After Wolves game,
Claim:. We can't defence.
Fact:. True. But temperament as well - we lack the temperament of a cool headedness. 1st goal, needless penalty. 2nd goal, no point to foul when clearly your team mate was recovering the lose ball. Both goals avoidable.
Claim: Tosun and Richardson aren't performing.
Fact: No supply line. There is a serious lacking of balls in the supply line into the danger area. Why not put in some early crosses for Tosun, Richarlison to charge into to mix up the boring and ineffective fringe passing (which ends up dispossessed most of the time)
Claim: We lack fighting spirit.
Fact: They tried. Players tried to fight but they are just clueless due to lack of strategies and looked disjointed. Most of the running and charging ends up wasted and ends in discouraging result. Again short of strategies for the fight to be of purpose.
Claim: We need a striker.
Fact:. Will be almost useless without effective supply line.
Claim:. As the commentator, we are having problem.
Fact:. True. Problem of Attacking Strategies (eg. no Plan B), problem of motivation (eg. to wake up has been giants in say Walcott, Sigurdsson etc), problem of defence (eg. silly fouls, poor marking, temperament issues)
Claim:. Silva needs to go.
Fact:. For Short term remedy? Or patience needed for long term vision of club?

Is the much maligned continental system that used to get pelters from commentators at the Worls Cup. It works in leagues where you get time on the ball, but in a physical league like the EPL it can get overwhelmed if the players are not good enough.We've become incredibly predictable and easy to defend. Just pass the ball around defense until eventually one of the fullbacks gets the ball near the sideline and has nowhere to go with it. It's all very slow and deliberate and easy to suss out. And this approach hasn't been adjusted in months.
It doesn't mean the team have to be openly hammered by the fans as it won't help - the underlying reasons need to be understoodLook with your eyes man, doesn't take a genius to see how poor we have been since late November
We play two widemen both today just hugged the white touchline leaving two in midfield totally isolated and out numbered - a tactical blunder ......Week in week out oh and two fullbacks who both got subbed as they are sadly old , and finished , and Keen turns like an articulated lorry.......Look with your eyes man, doesn't take a genius to see how poor we have been since late November
Thing is, you cannot just come out and “try” a new marking system. Especially if, as a manager, you are not good enough at coaching to put it in place. I have my doubts Silva is a student of the game, so he will find it hard to make changes outwith his preferred system.If he came out and tried man marking then we can say he is trying something different but he's doing the same things and expecting a different outcome each time
He's good enough for the Portuguese league but not The Premier League. I think that's pretty obvious now.Looks like it mate seen nothing to suggest your wrong
Newcastle have been desperate to retain Rafael, and gave Pardew years at the helm.So do West Ham and Newcastle
I guess if you don't think Gana is good, you would be frustrated at the manager. I suppose if you think Baines still has anything left in the tank, you might blame the manager. If you think Keane is a good CB, you might be frustrated at the manager. If you think Tom Davies and Gomes is a solid midfield combination, you might be frustrated at the manager. If you think Coleman is still an effective RB, you might be mad at the manager.
But look, he's got no Gana, Digne, Mina, and apparnet no Bernard - that he deserves criticism for.
I didn't like subbing off Walcott, I didn't like not playing Bernard, but otherwise, I though playing 4-3-3 with Siggy sitting deeper along with the other mids was the right move. Baines getting that terrible penalty and Keane committing a dumb foul isn't Silva's fault.
