I've always backed Silva but you make a fair point about what do they do in training all week. Personally I think that there are a few players here who see our club as an easy payday and that we should be glad to have them. They don't have to work hard because they know that when the gravy train ends here, there will always be another club willing to pay them a fortune (a lot more than minimum wage anyway) even in the lower leagues.
Having said all that I have no idea how we put it right, it feels like whoever the manager is we will always be like this. Having said that, there was a post earlier that said the best way to improve team performances would be to drop Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin............that would be an excellent start.
