Does Allardyce have a point? Well, regardless of his intentions he's illustrating one. His appointment illustrates that point. As does Koeman. We keep appointing bog average managers and looking for short term fixes. Probably harsh on Silva, the jury is out and he needs to be given the season and arguably the next. But the signs aren't encouraging so far. Moshiri doesnt inspire me with his due diligence on managers.

Id be pretty upset if I did a good job and got sacked knowing the incoming manager has just about none of my credentials.

If silva had come in when Alladyce did last season with his `we play one way' philosophy lol we very realistically could have gone down.

With 100m to spend in the summer and some loans does anyone seriously think BFS would not have bought fast, attack based players and centre forwards.

The mind boggles. HE had to get us organised defensively to stay up. This seasons job would have been to improve our defence further and make attacking aquisitions that would have allowed us to have more possession and/or serious pace/movement so we became a counter attacking team. We would have graduall built on 8th place to challenge around 5/6th.

Instead we are nowhere, We have gone backwards defensively, not moving the ball effectively or prettily and lack any sort of goal threat unless the ball falls to the feet of Gylfi/Richarl close to goal.

No matter how you dress it up Silva has not improved any aspect of our club bar possession stats.

I think results will pick up naturally just because we have some decent players but that could well see us finish 8/9th and blinker us to Silvas shortcomings in every aspect of management.

I have not seen him able to motivate a team after a poor result, change tactically to good effect in any game or use substitutions well. Pickford, Coleman, Walcott, Toshun nd Davies have all gone backwards under him. Only DCL and to a monor extent Keane (give me stength) have improved. Whatever `press' style he uses is a mystery to me.

Its telling that even the BFS haters admit we would have more points this season under him and that those who think he is a good manager think he would have substantially more points and progressing the club forward not backwards.

I was impressed with everything pre the pick calamity. We were finally competing with the big teams and having a go and we’re unlucky/a striker away from getting points against all but spurs which is done feat in only a few months. We Showed flashes of what was to come with neat, one touch, attacking football and players we had bought were being bedded in correctly (unlike last season) and starting to show their quality.

We have been poor since the pick calamity which could be a coincidence but the players seem bereft of confidence, tired and the team has been chopped and changed too much because of this which has all led to poor performances.

I don’t blame silva. The difference in Football is on the whole night and day.

Allardyce should never have been let near our club.

We lack strength in depth, rely on Gomes, siggy and Rico to win us games and teams have already worked this out.

I would be shocked if we didn’t get a couple in in jan because silva must see he needs it.
