    Worse record at defending set plays and not won under Silva after going a goal behind.

    That isn't a good sign for a manager - shows a lack of organisation and motivation!

    Whilst I'm vaguely amazed at any of you dedicating any time to this thread on the day you've shipped eight goals, I can't argue with the sentiment

    Think Silva is on borrowed time now, sadly

    There has been no variation of approach and, essentially, it's only really been effective in games we might have expected to be up against it. In the games we might have expected to win, it has been horribly predictable

    Don't see him here in four weeks

    Fair point but was a comment really thinking about anything but our own performance!

    Funny how quickly football does change though - 2 weeks ago MOTD were praising you guys for a good win against Wolves albeit giving away 2 goals and now they were slating you guys.

    Wilder kind of rubbed it in by saying he thought Sheffield United had played the worse they have all season!

    I think you’re seriously underestimating the determination of people to find silver linings in the midst of dire situations.

    My prediction - he will be gone after the Burnley game

    We've lost two (very winnable) games on the spin and expectations are that we should be in the mix for a top 6 place this season if any of them falter - results like the last two aren't going to cut it.

    He can't claim he hasn't been backed - apart from not managing to get a centre back in at the end of the window, he's had more or less everyone he wanted.

    He's played the same system (4231) in quite literally every game since he came here and plan B when we go behind is to go 442. We've conceded the first goal 17 times in all competitions since he arrived - we've lost 14 and drawn 3 of those games. That says to me that plan B isn't very effective either. It's the lack of any kind of variation of approach when things aren't going to plan that I find worrying.

    He lost his assistant in the summer, and he seems to have started life as a manager quite well...

    Last season Silva had a free pass, despite a woeful mid-season run of form. He turned it around towards the end, mostly by virtue of some good results against top 6 sides - this, alongside the fact his time at Hull was seen as a relative success, plus the Estoril stuff leads me to suspect that his style is more effective in the underdog role.

    Next up is an away Carabao Cup tie to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, followed by the visit of Man City (and inevitable defeat), we then go to Burnley on 5th October. If we lose those three (perfectly plausible), that will be five in a row and he'll be gone. Maybe we can all be friends again afterwards?

    I don't think Silva will ever manage in the PL again after he gets the tin tack.

    You'll beat Man City and lose the other two. We'll REALLY hate that!

    At least this lot are just as **** as we have been so far this season, the snake will slithering away very soon, and who will want him then :cool:
     
  12. This! I think a lot of your fans think we want some kind of rivalry. I really think we don't. I only want you to fail because of Sliva. Once he goes I'm happy for you to succeed again.

    It could be said that he's never actually properly managed in the PL yet.

    I used to live in Kirkdale a vibrant district of Liverpool in between Everton and Anfield. It used to be on the route of the Orange Lodge march (5-10 marchers and a larger number of bizzies) - first time I heard the drumbeat on a Sunday morning I thought "...someone's playing New Order's Blue Monday really loud..." anyhow it was always really funny/sad to see the local vicar's manse defaced with graffiti saying "Shin Fayn".

    I think he's actually been hurled by a Liverpool fan standing 15 feet to the left and is about to hit the wall.

    Maybe, but that's a quick typo on a forum message board. When you go to the trouble of spraying a message on a wall/gate, then you'd think they'd at least get the spelling correct for that. It's the same as Arsenal fans. How long was Wenger at their club, and loads still pronounced his name as 'W'enger, not Venger. Crazy how stupid some fans are.

    I've not done much graffiti but I imagine you have to do it quickly and furtively, the adrenaline running with the chance you will be caught and prosecuted, thus I think it is understandable that your higher mental functions are shut down to some extent - this might also be a cause of the overall poor spelling we see in graffiti
     
  28. hornetboy1

    hornetboy1 First Team Captain

    But if it's time constraints you're worried about, surely "Silva" would be quicker to spray than "Silver"?

    logically yes. But the brain doesn't always work logically when in a panic. See last saturday

    The worst is the vast amount of people who repteatedly spell Maguire's name as something like McGuire or Macguire - Leicester fans, Utd fans, England fans, it happens all the time.

    I’ve lost count of the posters on here who call Chris Hughton “Houghton”, especially when making a smart arse point about British managers.
