2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Highly doubt it.

He’s not paid for this one yet.

Or the previous three.

FFS Everton.

The camera panning to him on the sideline looking moody and clueless is getting boring now.

Five clubs in four years is also pretty startling.

He is so uninspiring, standing there looking like he has Joy Division on his ipod

Like Martinez?

Like Eddie Howe?

Some fans have some weird qualification to be EFC manager you only need to play tippy tappy football and be young enough not to need viagra connect to get it up.

Doesn't matter about your CV or track record.

His CV was okay though. Not every coach hits the ground running from their first job? Many of the top coaches through the history of the game had only decent CVs when they first hit the big time at a club.

Your comments are simplified and creating the usual straw man argument.

It's about the type of coach. Not Silva. I've clearly said we needed to go away from % football as we have watched the limitations of it for the best part of three decades.

It's not about tippy tappy. It's about the approach to a game. We should be attacking teams and looking to have the ball. He has obviously shown this in his career that he likes to play more positively than what we have had recently. He has had some success in other leagues and some decent results in the premier league with average to poor teams.

He also has some negative points on his CV, yes, but people are acting like he is a novice.

I can totally understand why they've gone for him and don't see the need to go changing managers again when they've only had a half a season. The type of managers we will go for if he does go will also be gambles to varying levels. We are not going to pay for the sure thing top coach.

The approach with this coach is right for me. Whether he will be good enough we will have a better idea in the summer, but I dont see anything worrying enough for us to even think of making a change this season.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I semi agree with what Tim said earlier about the mentality. It has to change. We can’t get complacent because we won 5-1 at Burnley. You have to show that intensity every week.

Silva has tried his darndest to change the mentality over here, but it’s mistakes like the ones against Liverpool and Tottenham that will keep us in the dirt. We still haven’t recovered mentally from that mess at Anfield which tells me the players need to adopt shorter memories.

I know it seems like I’m ragging on Pickford, but I’m not. The team hasn’t responded well to adversity after the Liverpool game. That’s on everyone.

 

[hktoffee]

He crap again?

Until we beat Leicester on new year day. Yo-yo back to 8th and forth.

 

[hktoffee]

Could easily go through every player in the squad and assess their attitude and personality.

I'd say there's maybe 4, 5 at most of the players who hate losing. By hate I mean it physically hurts them if they lose. Pickford, Dinge, Gomes and Richarlison. Maybe Coleman, before his injury and getting all big headed with the captaincy.

Done now?

 

[ijjysmith]

I’m personally just finding it very hard to get behind a manager I didn’t really want who is not showing me enough, if anything that he’s up to the job.

That’s not cryarsing. It’s not bedwetting. It’s just concern.

I agree Silva's style is the way to go, but he's not good enough its clear to see.

He did an okay job in Portugal and won the greek league with Olympiakos which every manager achieves as its an awful league.

His record in this league is God awful, went down with Hull, sacked at midtable watford after a shocking run after a few decent games and now we are 9th/10th/11th depsite spending massively more than clubs around us and have quality like French, Brazilian, english and columbian internationals in the side.

I dont know what people see in the bloke honestly I dont.

Get rid and let Brands appoint a forward thinking manager who actually has a proven track record and the credentials to be EFC manager.

I think in the end it’s results based.

I simply don’t agree with the point that it will take time to beat teams outside the Sky teams at home.

 

[Daytripper]

Really want him to succeed long term, we are stuck in a monotonous circle of just existing so I totally understand some fans not being happy or frustrated. I’m someone who got bored in the Moyes era, was it better than this? Yeah for the most part but what happened overall? Not much really, no silverware and when champions league qualification came around it resulted in a abysmal defeat in the uefa cup.

Don’t know what else to say really, will it be more of the same or will something worthwhile come out of all this? Time will tell I guess

Much rather the team is the best of the rest than say, a crappy 11th place team.

It’s difficult though. We were considerably broken when he got here. And no matter who came in it was going to take ages to fix.

I’m just not seeing any sign of things being fixed. I don’t see any hope with him.

At this rate I can see he would do worse than Fat Sam point per match with more money spent on the squad.

He just doesn’t have a clue when it comes to defending this is utterly worrying. No team will do fine with a crap defence.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

I'm getting real tired of this nonsense lie that losing the derby took away all our momentum. Not only have we lost resoundingly to every single decent side we've played this season (oh yeah, a fluke win againt ten men Leicester being the exception), we've actually rolled over for every decent side and let them humiliate us (you can claim we deserved a point in the derby if you want). We've effectively surrendered before the games even started. We've beaten nobody of any note and dropped plenty of points againt average to shockingly poor sides both away and at home. We've been played off the park by West Ham at home ffs. We got knocked out of the league cup againt a Southampton side that'll be lucky to stay up. It's been shocking right from the start and an improved style of play, a couple of nice goals and the odd victory againt sides that anyone with aspirations bigger then staying up would take for granted is not good enough, I repeat NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

He might do worse than Sam. But you need to remember he’s trying to fix a broken team. It might not happen first go.

I sort of agree with the defending thing. But then we haven’t been able to defend for about 3 years now. More probably.

The issue is can Silva improve what was already happening?
