Silva’s Playbook

[Shogun]

Don't think this game has any indication of him staying or going really.

Watford really are that shite.

I don't see him still being here for the QF like.

[Cozzie]

I think I have cracked it.

We basically need to play a team beginning with W at home.

Now how many of them are in the league....ah bollocks.

[Mayor Farnum]

More steps in the right direction. Scored twice, hit the woodwork twice, clean sheet and their only shot was from about 25 yards.

People tuning in to their streams expecting to see us flick the form switch on are never going to be satisfied with any manager and will be constantly calling for change.

[Shogun]

I still don't really get it though.

Like there were points in the first half where Mina, Holgate and Delph were just passing it across the half way line for significant periods.

I'm not expecting us to be as good as City but when they have possession like that, it's about 30 yards further up the pitch.

what is the former hoping to achieve?

[Macca77]

Devoid of ideas, half a dozen passes between our back 4, forward pass, then back again, it's horrible to watch

[TheRam]

Think people are overplaying how bad we were tbh.

Sky's highlights start in the second half

Tbf mate, you’ve gone a bit Comical Ali regarding Silva.

Such an unfair thing to say. Didn’t watch last night but people aren’t so much unhappy with the performance than not sucked in by 1 decent result

As for more steps in the right direction?? To go along with what? We lost on Saturday in typical fashion

We are 4th-5th bottom. Everyone has a right to be unhappy. Saying they’ll never be happy is ridiculous. It’s not our fault silva has a lot to prove. The results and performances here have made it that way. He loses Sunday he has to go but that’s a situation of his making not unrealistic supporters

I’d guess that’s probably because most teams vs city drop back immediately allowing them to walk up to the half way line and beyond.

I think the point they were trying to make was that if you’ve been struggling (as we all can see) you’re not likely, when you’re starting to turn things around, to just flip into your very best form.

Therefore that means in these games when you’re (hopefully) turning things round there will still be quite a lot of bad bits.

If you’re being positive about turning things round then you’d look at the last two home games and think that we’ve scored four (and could have been more in either game) without barely registering a chance against in either.

Away we lost but we scored two (when previously been struggling in general to score) and lost due to a free kick, weird penalty and an own goal. Things that might not be repeated every week, so if we can repeat our bits more often we will win some away games.

Obviously whether these are shoots of something better long term or just some better results in the short term will only be seen in time.

How?

I’m just putting another slant on things. By no means am I saying he’s doing a good job.

Not even saying we played well last night but I’ve seen us play a lot worse as well.

Just a cup game where we’re low on confidence after the weekend.

A better team than Watford and we'd be out. If that's Marco's response to poor football then he's in trouble and so are we. I really want him to succeed but his side reflects him imo... Puppy eyed and lacking fight

Won 2-0, hit the bar twice, had one cleared off the line and I don’t recall Pickford making any saves.

Really wasn’t that bad. We would’ve all took that before the game.

Can go into spurs now with the cloud lifted somewhat.

I can get on board with this a bit I think.
