2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[polish]

Watford fan here

Going to risk the hate and the abuse again and being called a Liverpool fan.

I came here when you got Silva and tried, in peace, to tell fellow football fans what Silva was like and got a dogs abuse, told I knew nothing and was bitter.

I admit i dislike Silva for the treachery and for his style of play. I appreciate few of you see it like this.

Some points in terms of his style

He exhausts players in practice . I suspect you are seeing this. Are they all looking a bit knackered at the moment?

If you aren’t winning well at half time you have a good chance of losing.

He has no plan B. And makes odd substitutions.

The zonal defending. His awful take on zonal defending

You have a good bunch of players he should be doing better if he weren’t a fraud.

He's a terrible manager. No proactive changes, no chemistry between the players, no partnerships on the field, our offensive plan is to put the ball out wide and cross it and our set pieces are farce. I just don't get what's in his game that should guarantee him more time with us.

Every day with him at the helm is a wasted day and I seriously hope we wouldn't waste another year or so just to get someone who will try to fix the damage again.

I will happily take a warning for this but [Poor language removed] the [Poor language removed] off with the Moyes shout, he is done, finished, kaput as a top level manager

Fair enough. As I say I was not advocating a switch. But Moyes gave West Ham a good platform for progress this season.

I think there's a lot of pressure on our managers to go toe to toe with just about every team we face - top three or bottom three. The players we buy aren't up to going toe to toe with the elite. That's why I was so impressed with RMs first season here: he was plaiting sawdust with that lot getting them to compete. Didn't last long though.

There is no answer other than to find a financial backer with unimaginable wealth. We got Moshiri....

Googles "plaiting sawdust". Agrees

 

[ClausThomsen]

We can’t switch at the this stage, but I would welcome Moyes back. Let him build another solid, hardworking team and then, if he cannot progress beyond that, get in a more adventurous choice.

Moyes was yo-yo as anything early on, there's no way he'd have held onto his job these days. It would be a weird thing to sack MS half a season in and then give someone else 3 or 4 years to just build a solid hardworking side.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

I’m sick of swapping managers so hopefully we keep him and he can ride it out

This underlines another point. Under Moyes we looked like a proper team, where all the players worked for each other with a unified spirit. It’s been missing for years.

All you've done since joining is talk about wanting Moyes back, we had 11 years of him, 4-5 too long in my opinion

 

[wainy]

Jib the Moyes shouts off. We were still a badly mid table team then who bottled every big game we played.

Mr knife to a gun fight? Not a chance would ever want him back.

....it’s not only about chucking money to find a solution. Manchester City and Liverpool did that to no avail for years as have Manchester United in recent seasons. The right Manager and DoF are critical. This season looked promising for a while but has stagnated and the Manager has to be accountable for 1 win in 8 games.

Many of the teams we are failing to beating are no better than us. Many of the teams we’re failing to beat have not spent what we’ve spent.

The manager gets the season and then is accountable. He's been here for 20 odd competitive games.

Moyes? Seriously? There'll be Fat sam shouts next.

Because that is a platform for better things. In the old days, before teams spent like confetti, good managers would spend several years at a club, work with what they had, and slowly add to it and improve it.

Now everyone just wants instant success through the transfer market and it doesn’t work. Unless you have oligarch money, that is.

 

[davek]

True. He's talented alright,but his antics must really be frustrating and disruptive. And even disrespectful. Amongst our problems Kenny is definitely not the biggest one.

Played ok today, though I still have major doubts over him.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Moyes? Seriously? There'll be Fat sam shouts next.

Moyes is on a different level to Sam. He is a good, forward thinking manager.

 

[Billy Dean]

If you want Moyes back, remember in 2003/04 he oversaw our worst ever points total and in 2005/06 one of the worst starts to a season we’ve. He wasn’t sacked though and was given the time to sort out the messes he created
