    Evidence?! Already mentioned multiple times but you are deliberately ignoring basic facts. Couldn’t give less of a shit if the teams we’ve dominated and battered weren’t in form, they are games that we would’ve lost embarrassingly except we didn’t regardless of their current form; the amount of teams that made us a springboard for their season or stem a flow of bad results over the last 3-4 years is sickening. Whatever changed at the derby and since couldn’t be more obvious.
    His job, along with Brands, was to get us to the top 6 and further. This was never going to be possible in 9 months. You’re honestly at super Trump levels of troll, denial and idiocy at the moment.

    I've said I can't see it and you've offered no evidence that there is. Feel free to enlighten me. 
     
    It's not unrealistic expect a team that adds 5 first team players that are all much much better than their previous players to kick on and get more points. Digne instead of a leggy Baines and a misfit Martina. Zouma over a leggy Williams and Jagielka. Bernard and Richarlison, two Brazilian Internationals over a kid striker on the wing in DCL or Bolasie coming back from an injury. Gomes over a leggy Rooney playing out of position. 
    If Alladyce was given the chance with this team it's logical to expect him to have gotten closer to the top 6 considering what he managed with the unbalanced team. Surely given a more balanced team with better players he'd have done better. 
    How's it hypocritical? You can only beat what's in front of you and the teams we beat was more down to them than us. You never called me hypocritical when I said the same last season. 
    Arsenal were missing both of their CMs. Even Cardiff were missing their best players. Man u were playing on a hangover, Matic even come out apologising as he should have closed down Sigurdssen. That goal was a great strike but in most games would have been blocked. The reason it wasn't blocked was because United were poor, not because of Sigurdssen's skill or Silva's management.

    Name one manager who we could realistically expect to attract who would have had us challenging top 6 this season? Our squad is threadbare, we have nearly a full team out on loan because most of them aren't good enough, the players who have come in have ended up doing great but it is not enough to fix the shit show that was last season. 
    Aside from that, you are an absolute hypocrite for blaming the manager for every poor result but refusing to give him any credit when we win.

    Just because you don't see it doesn't mean nothing is happening. I see a massive improvement in quality and energy in our play, I see a good run against the top sides (which we would've been battered in in past seasons) and a good run of keep sheets (something we spent months unable to achieve). There have been many changes, nearly all for the better, and considering that's been done in under a year, considering the shitstorm he inherited, I think he's done very well. 
    If we see the same issues and league position next year, then I'll worry. But his task was to wipe the stench from the club that was the last manager and undo the clusterfuck made by Koeman et al. He's largely done that, along with Brands, and given us a much better base to build on for next season

    The differences will be where we have looked to exploit. We played wide against Palace as apposed to playing through the middle against United and Arsenal. Watching on TV I’ll never be able to see the tactical differences, only a small section of the pitch at a time  
    As far as you can see we have done the same, as far as you can see. If you had the chance to ask Marco what was done differently there will have been various things. But you aren’t looking at the game as a tactical analyst would, or as a scout would, or as a coach would. You just look at it and assume it’s the same. 
    Next time you see Coleman going inside the full back rather than around the outside, you can either assume we still play the same or see that a weakness has been identified and exploited. 
    We don’t play the same every week, we start with a 433 formation at the base of the tactics, but you or I will never know all of the different tactic being deployed, but they will be there. 
    Silva is doing enough, I don’t expect his game plan to work every week, but then I’m pretty realistic. I don’t know what it is you expect, all I know is the more you talk about these things you sound like you either made a point and won’t admit you were wrong about something or you are in disagreement with pretty much all other fans and pundits so probably don’t know what you’re talking about. When it’s complaining about how we’ve beaten teams who are better than us, I can only put it down to the latter.

    There’s a massive improvement. Beating the top sides, playing muuuuuch better football, bringing in better and more exciting players. Just because we’re not the finished article after 2 transfer windows trying to undo 2 seasons of shit doesn’t mean there’s not been progress

    Yes of course I did you absolute numpty any team that comes back from 2-0 down to win deserves loads of credit. Just as we deserved credit for riding our luck first half v Chelsea, putting a dreadful first half behind us and taking our chance to win the game. Just as we deserved credit for out playing Arsenal, a team we have an appalling record against. Just as we deserve credit for putting a poor Man Utd, another team we have an awful record against, to the sword. 
    From your logic, teams don't win football matches, opponents lose them. Which is fine when you're desperately pushing an agenda you nailed your colours to 6 months ago and for bizarre psychological reasons known only to you now feel obliged to keep banging on about at every available opportunity. But to everyone else it's really fucking boring. We get it, you don't like Silva. But some of us actually want to enjoy watching the our club play some decent football and win a few games.

    And there’s your arguement you bellend. Arsenal made one change Tottenham none we made five first team changes. Your argument again is that uniteds signings flopped but ours didn’t? So  that means silva did well in the transfer market? No wait that would be brands? Your an absolute sausage.

    I find it very hard to take you seriously as a supposed fan of this club when you cannot find it in you to give any credit you OUR manager and OUR players for a run that included drawing with the best Liverpool side in 30 years and beating Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd at home.

    We didn't beat United, the match was won before we even kicked a ball. Lindelof at right back with Rashford in front of him. Add to that United then didn't even try, Matic come out and apologised for not putting enough effort in. 
    I don't see mindless tackling as a strength. 
    If only I never played fifa and could understand football like you

    I think you’ll see that we carved them up until the final third. Coleman had so many chances to get a good ball in ( granted he got that one to Cenk and was saved well ) but generally put in a nothing ball. DCL was off, which is unfortunate for him but that happens. 
    For me another game where we looked defensively strong and competent, never under threat. I can see the foundations Silva is laying and I’m getting back to believing we could be 2/3 players away from being a seriously good team. So yes, I am happy with what’s getting served up because I can see the potential in what we are doing and where we are going.

    But where were you praising the manager when we stuffed Utd 4 nil? You're on here every time we don't win criticising Silva, never when we win. Same with Gana, you choose to completely ignore all his strengths to bang the same tired point that he doesn't fit your idea of what a midfielder should do.

    Central to a nil nil, because he's got the ball we've not scored? Just think what score we'd have won if he actually done something with it.
