2019/20 Marco Silva

[matty1878]

Got a feeling he'll start him against City,

Give your head a wobble matty we beat sheff wed not barca

We still WON you moron

 

[yakublue]

We will naturally do better against city. Not surprise it will be our best performance to date this season. Simply because this team is build and design to play only counter. Any other approach will be disaster waiting to happen. Tempo will be crucial. One of those game where Silva has no choice but to adopt such approach.

Whether it’s enough to win is another story, but I believe we will put in a respectable performance.

We can't score against teams sitting deep so i agree we'll look a lot better when teams attack us

Beating Sheff Wed B team (with a bit of luck) doesn’t change my mind about him: he is a poor manager, with a Premiership relegation and a sacking by Watford Football Club on his CV.

But I’m the fool, for wanting us to get a better manager than Silva who plays the exact same tactic every game regardless of result, Silva, who doesn’t seem to see it as a problem we’ve conceded from set pieces more than any prem side since he came, Silva, with his pathetic away record and even worse away performances, not to mention his Millwall fiasco.

Beating Sheff Wed B team doesn’t change anything mate, he is a charlatan and a lot of people are starting to see through it.

Your a fool for wanting him to fail. We won and your all still not happy it’s bizzare

I think most people are still in shock given the Millwall debacle last season.

That was then mate lol

 

[matty1878]

He needed that badly tonight

He did mate and hopefully we build

 

[matty1878]

We have won, when you have won you maintain momentum by getting behind the team and that's exactly what should happen at Goodison at the weekend

I don’t think some on here want this. There’s an agenda with them all they want him to fail which is a joke.

And we've just beaten a mid table championship side. Yay, roll out the red carpet and get a new mural up!


Shame we can't beat the promoted championship sides our own league!

A win against anybody is welcome and we can only hope it could act as a springboard for better results going forward.

I thought the changes were welcome giving us far more pace and life into the side.

The selection for the game against City will now come into focus when we will see if the manager changes back to his "first team". We will see if Schneiderlin,Sigurdsson come back which would be worrying.

The trouble is mate we couldn't beat palace, we got beat by a poor Villa side, we struggled against Watford and if the truth be known the game against Wolves, although we played quite well, could easily have gone the other way and the least said about Sheff Utd the better.

I don't disagree. The point is there's nothing particularly odd about that. It's disappointing, but it's not really surprising. It is, as I said, mediocre, and yet some of the reaction was as if it was the end of the world. Winning last night doesn't mean we're great, and losing on Saturday didn't mean we were in a relegation battle. We're likely to finish about 8th, we were before a ball had been kicked and we still are now. People need to accept that that's where we are, and that when you're that type of team you will have some really poor looking results. I'm not happy with it by any means, but there's no point acting as if we should be challenging the top 4 because we're a million miles away from it.

We’ve won can’t you be happy and hope we build? Did you want us to lose? Then what would of you said?

I'm happy we won, it was a game against an opposition that shouldn't get close to us, so I'm not surprised we won. I don't want us to lose, whether we won or lost this game in particular it wouldn't have made a difference to my opinion that Silva should have never been given the job.

love it when matty goes off tbh

The gaps in personnel have meant Silva has been unable to pick the 4-3-3 formation he believes will help the team progress. His vision, it is understood, is for Gomes, Delph and Gbamin to play behind an attacking three of Alex Iwobi, Richarlison and either Kean or Calvert-Lewin.

I don't believe that for one second

Got a win and gets a free hit Vs City

Burnley is his next big game
