2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[BirkenheadBlue]

Winning nothing of note since, well, never will do that to a club.

Up there with Southampton saying Koeman coming to us was a backwards step.

Tweeting that like they’re streets ahead of us.

If we beat Huddersfield and they lose away to Spurs (hardly unlikely) we’ll be back above them

They’re a weirdly bitter club aren’t they.

When your greatest claim to fame is Murphy’s Mob, it’s going to happen.

Its the small victories for a club who's highest honour is winning the second division, over 20 years ago.

Then again they have won the Southern Football League, while we've never been able to so that's fair enough.

 

[BlueToff]

What’s his desired style of play?

I always thought it was 4-3-3 with a high press. They might not be the best players but if that’s what he wants why do we persist with 4-2-3-1? Why don’t we do a Gana/Gomes/Davies flat 3 with energy?

Confusing me.

Because Gylfi is key to that high press, as is Richarlison.

I am guessing that's why.

Issue at the moment is it's basically a 4-2-4 that we aren't playing right.

There’s no way we’re saving funds for the new ground joey lol we not signing anyone till we get the new ground?. It’s more of maybe shift some
Players and the wage bill. Tbh if they don’t let him sign a striker they are a joke

We are not going to sign players because yes we have too many players, and our wage bill is way to high - but that ground will need funds - I can see why it is time to be prudent - if we rush out , and buy any wrong player without off loading we will not improve anyway the team is dire its as bad as big Sam's team - remember the backlash Unsy got at Southampton last year...- well I rate that performance on Saturday as just as bad 2-1 in defeat it could have been far worse we were awful...... if it had been 5-1 we could not have complained...... and all those funds spent......

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

you didn't want Allardyce and I didn't want this chancer. we are way we are

both play absolutely atrocious football.

thing is I have zero confidence in Moshiri. he is not a football person and he is proving it.

hes an arsenal fan at the end of the day. what is he even doing at our club??

Probably because ,apart from Kenwright and a bunch of dodgy yanks, no-one else was interested in us.

 

[maccavennie]

Little premature by that lot me thinks but fair play to the gang of whoppers, I'd be trolling him too in all fairness whilst we are doing crap.

This season hasn't been what I hoped for but it hasn't been a total disaster either. At some point we need to give somebody a chance to put their stamp on things, and stop thinking that sacking a coach or changing the captain is going to make us a totally different side.

I'd be interested to understand what you would qualify as a 'total disaster' after spending circa £100m in the summer? Out of the cup at the 1st round? 14 points off the top six, 17 points off the top four and 30 points off the leaders entering February? 1 point from 18 against the top 6, conceding 14 and scoring 4?

If our ambition is to compete with these teams (and we're certainly spending at the same rate as them) then I'd absolutely qualify that as a disaster.

You're right, continuously sacking coaches is the wrong thing to do. But when you hire the wrong manager, it's important you recognise your mistake as quickly as possible and work to put it right.

Marco is under pressure. Quite rightly, fans are asking questions. I don't agree with fans poking fun at other fans for merely suggesting that he's massively underachieving.

 

[maccavennie]

Allegedly not been given any funds for players in January - two reasons for this -1- saving funds for new ground - 2 - Moshiri feels hes had enough funds , and may be looking at his future as our Manager.......

Can't see that Joey, it just simply looks like we've got too many players on big wages not contributing and whilst they are here, incomings are unlikely.

 

[GwladysBlue]

At least we know we’ll finish above Watford now. That tweet will come back to haunt them.

 

[navidson]

Classy move from a classy club

Claudio Ranieri, Really? That worked out well too.

They wouldn’t hold funds this early fir a ground that won’t even have planning permission until next year. I think he is just being more careful with his money knowing how we waste it so easily.

 

[KaiserEFC]

They’re not wrong though, it’s not like they’re missing him
