Right, and we've beat Cardiff, Palace, Brighton and Leicester, as well as losing to the latter two and drawing with Newcastle and Huddersfield?

I don't want him sacked cause it just makes the club and fans look bad but being honest... does anyone genuinely expect him to turn this around and make us competitive by this time next season ? I just can't see it happening. He seems like a nice enough guy but he also seems like a bit of a wet blanket, can you honestly imagine him giving some rip roaring half time talk ? or players being inspired by his words ? Maybe its language barrier but he's just seems so timid.

And let's face it, we were MUCH better than those two teams.

Weird one that then mate
Says tosun had 4 shots? Remember he had one straight at kasper ( our only real shot on target of I remember) where's the other 3? They must count some weird stuff as shots like even blocks or something

Who got the points tho?
We’ve just been beaten by both Leicester and Brighton. In your haste you’ve failed to grasp the point I was trying to make in that both Leicester and Brighton stopped his Plan A with relative ease this resulting in an easy 3 points for them. The quality we have is far greater than those 2; however the tactics were not
Hence my last point: he needs to adapt fast

It's not JUST the tactics is it.
You say an easy win - I didn't see much of Brighton so will take your word for it, it seemed we were gash. Yesterday, we were crap, but all that separated the sides in what would have been a deserved draw because both were as bad as each other was a mistake from Keane, and a clinical finish. That's not tactics.
I do agree that the tactics were dreadful once we went down, but it's not the tactics that resulted in a goal. It's a mistake. It wasn't Martinez levels of just all out attack and leaving two defenders at the back, was it...
Well did you say the same thing when we went to Stamford Bridge, and were the first team to completely negate Jorginho, with Spurs then trying exactly the same thing to similar effect - well, better, because they have better players - a few weeks later?
Or what about when we created three sitters at Anfield, just to miss them all? Or what about when we did the same at Emirates? Or when it clicked v Burnley the other day?
We are and should be beating them. It's frustrating that we didn't.
But City SHOULD beat Palace and Leicester too, shouldn't they...

Please, enlighten us to what you think his Plan A was and how did LCFC take it away. I'm dying to hear this astute criticism of Silva's tactics.

Birds of a feather flock together
Kind of. Whenever we were down, he bought on attackers...all these reactive subs...the highline and both side back are too far up the field leaving them exposed.

No, no, no, no...it's TACTICS. Pep doesn't know what he's doing.
Where the tactics directly responsible for the goal, no. Should we have made a tactical change at half time, yes. Could that have then put Leicester once back foot and averted the scenario, possibly. Quite telling that Puel made a change at half time which worked beneficial for their team. And Leicester deserved no credit because they were absolutely appalling as well
The same at Brighton, they swamped our midfield and we were getting overrun. He left 3 at the back and allowed the midfield to be dominated.
It’s up to him to see these things and address them. It’s what he gets paid the dollar to do.
