2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[DualityNSNO]

Compared to recent years I think there's been a bit of rotation. Only Pickford and Digne started all the games right?

Walcott has, believe it or not, started the most games for us.
In fact, all of the league games.



Ninja edit: he's only started 19. Subbed in for 2.

No mate I mean proper goal scoring CF’s. Neither of those two are.

They were when we bought them. Tosun was a regular scorer for Besiktas in the league and the CL, Walcott was getting double figures from out wide for Arsenal.

He didn't start against City or Newcastle although from memory he has started, or at least came on as a substitute, for every league game.

Fact well pointed out, check the edit.

Thought I did it quick enough, but apparently I did not lol

Check my edit, I forgot to mention Newcastle.

I know there's elements to his game which on paper suit our approach (@BlueToff has rightly mentioned this) but surely he must be close to being dropped.

Why not? At some stage, Moshiri, Kenwrong et al will have to realise that as a club we have won ONE trophy in 30 years, and the current malaise will not be solved by hiring managers and firing them after a sticky patch of form. I agree that Brands is the crucial factor in determining a strategy on transfers thence leading to a proper system of playing where the team selected knows what is expected of them on the pitch. The points made by posters about a deeper problem within the club hierachy are extremely valid, imo and need to be addressed as a matter of urgency, before we have another 10 or 20 years of mediocrity. I do not know what goes on inside EFC but I can believe in catcher in the rye's points regarding factions within the organisation..I too have had experience of this, and the consequences if it is allowed to carry on do not bear thinking about. Sacking Silva now will not solve the situation imo, it will exacerbate it....Moshiri and co need to bang heads before its too late.

Players rule the roost, it's not going to change, I actually agree with him but it's too late.

Why is he, or is that just an opinion?

So that tells us they’re not good enough for 20 goals per season.

We need one top drawer striker and a partner for him.

That’s essentially saying we need a striker that’s at the top 6 level. Incredibly difficult to find in January. Suarez being the only one I can remember. We’d probably have to throw mega money at a young prospect like we did with Lukaku or find a complete unknown. Spurs are only where they are because Kane went stratospheric. Chelsea have struggled to find one since Costa, Arsenal paid 60 mill for theirs. I agree with you it’s what we need but would be incredibly difficult to get.

He was sacked by Watford in January absolutely miles away from a European place?
