There’s an easy solution to winning. Tell each player they begin each game with 60% of their salary. They secure an additional 20% for each goal scored and lose 20% for each goal conceded. La voila. 

What happens if we lose 6-0?! Do they owe the club 20% of their salary? hahaha.

They would still be sitting comfortable on a reduced salary as they earn shit loads. However I do agree a win based salary structure would be better

[StevO]

Try finding a single good player to sign up for that.

Please, please, please stick with the team from today!

Bernie should’ve been playing weeks ago. Sigurdsson should’ve been dropped weeks ago. Sidibe earned his spot today, he was great. Same for Walcott and Davies. 

Richarlison showed hes hungry to play as the striker. Leave him there for a run of games and see what happens.

This.

We have a squad good enough to have competition for places. Players must play on merit, keep this team, they have earn't it.

[Bailey]

Like I said in the other thread, I would like to see this performance repeated first, but there was certainly a lot more promise than there has bee recently!

[Shukes]

We should build a statue of Marco. Top four here we come!!!!

[Finn balor]

That is what I want from our team. I don’t want to see Morgan playing sideways. Every players first instinct was to play a forward pass. Bernie and digne made up for lost time. Sidibe was strong offensively and defensively. Iwobi in the first half was playing some great balls in between the centre backs and how refreshing was it to to see a midfielder breaking through for a one on one? Granted his finish was poor but it was great to see. Gilfi scores a great goal and that’s what we want. A squad. Not players guarenteed a game. Shout out to Theo aswell. He played really well

[Romey 1878]

I think yesterday showed that Silva most certainly has not lost the players. Like us, they will have known that his job was on line and they put in as committed a performance as you'll see. Each and every one of them played for him.

[Undisputed_blue]

Most of Silva's problems stems from players from previous managerial regimes. He just needs another three players: right centre half, defensive midfielder and striker.

So how long did that West ham game buy him? He should be out by the end of the weekend. We're relegation fodder at the minute.

I was happy for the most part until the final two subs. That fucked us. Why on earth did Delph come on? No problem with DCL coming on though, the problem was he took all our pacey players off so we then had no chance of hitting Brighton on the break when they would inevitably push forward. 
 

I’d be interested to know how many times Gylfi touched the ball in comparison to Bernard while he was on.

This. I understand that he wanted more “control” in the midfield but Delph is a fucking anchor and completely disrupted Gomes and Davies, who weren’t having great games but doing ok. Should’ve been Kean and DCL and gone for the throats but tried to sensible even though we were in complete control 

thought Gylfi did ok to be honest. 

[duncanmckenzieismagic]

To o be fair he changed it up in the last game and deserved credit for it and given the way we played I doubt anyone would have picked a different XI today 

After a slow start I though we controlled the game game well and deservedly lead with 20 minutes to go

Then we were on the receiving end of a ludicrous penalty decision and it completely turned the game on its head , Silva can’t be blamed for that 

Admittedly I was baffled  by the Delph substitution and it was alarming how spineless we were in totally capitulating after the pen , but that Is the sign of a team low on confidence , which is exactly what we are

Also thought Gylfi did ok

Agree.  Delph subbing in was maddening, and puzzling.  At the time I assumed Silva was playing for a draw, since he subbed out 2 attackers but brought on only one.

[markjazzbassist]

Gylfi and DCL were fine, the Delph sub was baffling.

[Finn balor]

I’m just in a state that I’m just not arsed about watching us because we are a lower mid table team on the performances this season. Morishi should be on the phone to  Benitez as we speak. We have played nobody yet and are getting beat. It’s just not good enough.

After four straight defeats, giving credit is like saying well done to a baby for getting square in the toy box after trying the circles hole 4 times. But one's a baby and the other is on & £100,000+k a week to know what to do first time round. 

Sticking with the same analysis, you know when a baby then goes for the square in the round hole again and you encourage them to get it right and eventually they do, well I don't see Martinez mark II being that bright as shown by his subs today.

It’s a clear penalty for me.
 

Bringing on Delph just invited pressure. I understand the basic logic of whaa was t he was trying to do but it just wasn’t necessary and completely dismantled our rhythm in the middle. It was a “bottling it” sub.

So any contact in the area when clearly unintentional is a penalty ?

Must be the only person in the world who thinks that. If that’s a penno. The game is gone. Var will be sued pretty quickly if it’s a company or a thing. The game is gone. The game will be stopped every second. 

[Sibdane]

Don't know what to say. We all cried out for the same lineup and Marco produced that, but we still lost to a team that can barely score goals.

Silva reverted back to his old tactics once Bernard got injured, that is the main problem. Closely followed by his shit subs and lack of winning mentality.
