I was wrong then too, he may not be the best manager out there but who else would you know we could attract who could do better or even as well? I would have stuck with Alladyce over Marco this year. He got 8th last year with a disjointed squad. No reason I can see why he wouldn't have done better with a full preseason and a more balanced team. At the moment I'd be aiming for Mourinho.

Keeping hold of the ball and doing nothing with it is like we did under Martinez is worse to watch than being defensively solid yet with a plan what to do once you get the ball.

Finn balor Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 But if DCL against Fulham and Cenk against palace took their one chance and Sam was managing you would say that was a “professional” job so your arguement doesn’t hold up. Fuck me under Sam we never shot at goal!! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted May 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 We’re going to finish with more points than we had last season and more goals scored. And I actually enjoyed watching us play for most of this season whereas if that dick head had been in charge I’d have not gone to a single game.

Finn balor Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 We brought a lot of first teamers into the team this season and Marco with a few bumps have managed them well.

Popular Post Hafnia Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Shown determination.... had a massive and quite alarming dip.

Sibdane Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Definitely deserves more time. Things could've been a lot different for us this season without that run of bad results, but he managed to turn it around and we finished the season strongly. Very optimistic against the top sides next year. He just needs to figure out how to get results from the teams that sit behind the ball all match looking to nick a goal.

Popular Post nogs Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 The facts are we've gone backwards since Moyes left. Martinez was a massive disappointment after a fabulous first season, Koeman an absolute disaster after a strong second half to his first season. We really need to hope that pattern doesn't continue, otherwise we're facing the start of another cycle, another three, four years away from where we want to be. Top 6/Europe this season could have been another false dawn. Silva has seen the size of the job in hand, he's faced the backlash from the fans when we play shite, he's stuck to his principles and made another pretty bleak season end with some promise. There is serious work to do with the squad as we have nowhere near enough depth in quality, but with the best youth system in the country at present and a DoF who has shown already he can be pretty shrewd about how he deals for top talent, I'm confident Silva will have us make a real tilt at the top 6 next season.

Finn balor Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Anyone think we might go 4-3-3 more this season? Especially at home? I’m thinking if gana goes this could be the way we play. Marco when he first came said that’s how he wants to play then changed it maybe because of the personnel he had in the squad. Gomes Gilfi Delph Charley Leao/kean Bernard Or Malcolm Leao/kean Charley all the three forwards versatile. Bernard would have to show more productivity in front of goal though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 He has commented about the important of a 6 in the past and only Schneiderlin gets close to that IMO. The biggest obstacle though is Siggy. If he plays he will play as a 10 and he will play so I doubt we will see much change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
