Im not so sure myself mate

Cant score goals
Conceeding bucket loads
Dud manager
Slip up whenever any pressure

I didnt think we had a chance of going down under Koeman as there were some crap teams in the league but under Silva and the current league - I worry.

We were an utter mess under Koeman, conceding more goals and getting rolled over by very poor teams. It was a disjointed and aging squad.

We've got a solid squad that's balanced with quality now that's out of form and underperforming. But there's zero chance of it going to a relegation scrap when there's Watford, Southampton, Newcastle, villa, palace, Brighton, Norwich, and Burnley
 

I feel like for all the talk of tactics and players selection what we are really missing is someone to build a culture where players believe and expect to win. That's what Martinez tried to do and it worked until his tactical shortcomings caught up to him. It's also a massive part of what Pep and Klopp have done at their respective clubs. It's also as much the reason that post Ferguson for United has gone poorly as poor signings have been. Ferguson had a culture of success that never fell off.

So for Silva I just don't see that. I don't see him being the guy to inspire a team in that way and without that it doesn't really matter if he's the smartest tactical manager (he isn't) that has ever lived.
 
I can actually see us stealing a result here. It depends on how clinical City is today, but there is no reason we can’t catch them with that makeshift backline. Here’s hoping
