Marco Silva

[davek]

The new Martinez. Comes across as a decent manager and has his teams involved in thrilling games but still took his side down last season and seems to be very Martinez like with his sides throwing away games they should have won.

Chelsea away recently and today.

Not convinced by him yet. The potential is there but think it's too big a risk to go for him, but let's be honest he won't leave Watford so soon in to the job anyway.

The new Martinez?

I dont remember him achieving what Martinez did: win a cup with an ale house team and hand us our best season since the 1980s.

He wishes he was the new Martinez.

He hasnt even got any good catchphrases..

 

[nsno-chris]

Has he referred Tom Cleverley as having a “football education of a Dutch or German player”.

It really wasn't our best season though Dave.

And in defence of Silva - he took down Hull, but it was Phelan's mess and they were rock bottom with players not fit even for the Championship and got some memorable wins out of them. Not saying he's the answer to our problems but we can defo do worse.

So 5th is now better than 4th is it lol.

I have nothing against him. Seems like a good coach.

Maybe you have to be more than that here...which is where the Martinez comparisons might hold water.

No, 72 points is better than what Silva would get with any Everton team though. The Dutch Disaster couldn't get near it.

Anyway, another debate for another thread...

In the last 20 years it was.

ha! sometimes you do take it one step over the edge lol


3rd-best season since the 80's is still a sound achievement, the best two being 94-95 and 04-05. One of 07-08/08-09 in honorary 4th place, I reckon.

"Since the 80's" is what Dave said though.

Preferred the season we won a cup under Royle to finishing 5th personally Dave

Errrm Dave you've forgotten something.....

 

[Thomasc]

He has a lot in common with Martinez, both been relegated.

More on the dutch side i would say after that penalty miss.
