I wouldn’t say Martinez was garbage. He was just too stubborn to change his ways.

Keep the faith lads.
No point just having a revolving door on the manager's office. Any manager (except Allardyce) should get at least 18 months - 2 years unless they really have us staring down the barrel.
We are playing better than last season as much as the table doesn't reflect. Still in the FA Cup and still a lot of games to go.

Players lose form. We have so few good players that when our good ones hit the inevitable slump, the effect is exacerbated.
Silva may turn out to be the wrong man,
But some of the hyperbole on here is embarrassing. Silva has been poor with some of his selections and poor with some of his substitutions - but so were every one of our previous managers right back to the 90s! We would NOT be better off with Allardyce, Koeman, Martinez or Moyes. They were all poor in their own ways. The way people talk about Moyes on here you would think he oversaw a dynasty. If most managers were given 11 years without a threat to their position, I would expect them to be able to build something semi-decent.
The issue for me is that a lack of ambition is REALLY starting to bite us now. We took too long to freshen up and replace Moyes' team, leaving too much to do each transfer window. Then when we have had money, We have tried to accelerate it City style, without giving enough thought to the off the field stuff. We have made a series of blunders in this area until this summer. Brands is a good appointment and did well this summer but has too much to do. Including shifting the deadwood. If we don't do that soon we will struggle.
However, no other club would allow a player like Lukaku to go without sorting out a proper replacement even 2 years later!! My concern would be if we leave getting one in till the summer then we will be pulled into the relegation mix. You simply cannot compete without a striker and it is naive of the board to believe we can do so. It has to be a priority this January, even if it is just on loan.

The alarm bells are always ringing for me when managers talk about players fitting their philosophies. It should be about managers adapting to the players they have.

we're not defensively playing better than the Allardyce season.
Who's been tapping him up then, spill the beans.

Less goals conceded at this stage of the season mate, granted of course half of that would have been Koeman's Everton.

Except he won't get to bring 'his players in. They're Brands players and its up to Silva to mould them into a functioning unit. He needs to coach the players, use different tactics to outsmart the opposition.
In the past 2 months since the derby, was there a game you can say we were unlucky to have lost?

Well that's your opinion mate and you're entitled to it but for me he was and still is garbage.
