Was that last 20 minutes. It was like absolutely no one even considered that we might get into europe - let alone been notified by the bench that all of the results were going our way and a winner would possibly make us favourites for a place.

There was absolutely no urgency, whatosever. Just the same passing it around the backline - restarting with those pathetic short goal kicks, no rushing to get the ball back into play, nothing. It was absolutely baffling. It should have been a 'both centrebacks up top, long balls, keepers up for corners' last 5 minutes, but we kept on playing in the same, sterile, limp-dicked way. No shouting and hollering from the touchline, telling the players to pile forward.

A thoroughly predictable situation, of course, but once again, i left the ground furious. I can't get my head around the attitude at all, whether the players who surely must want the chance of playing in europe, or the coach, who, stay or leave (hopefully the latter) refuses to actually manage a match 'in-game'.

Our total wage bill is about 160m. Paying Silva the equivalent of 5% of that would be absolutely criminal. Please just let him go and bring in someone else who doesn't think he's better than us, Mr Khan.

Consider the conflicting interests though more games at Cc will have in the Game changer that is the Pier. Imagine paying £300 membership for the spa but then not getting access due to Thursday night football. (NT) -- Smash me burgers👍, Monday, May 18, 09:21:02am (NoHost/167.98.181.46)
Said it during and after the game, the players and their performances are reflecting the manager. Lack of urgency, not fully engaged, no commitment going through the motions a bit, lack of any inspiration or fresh ideas. I’m the first to barrack players and they should absolutely take individual responsibility, but is it any wonder this is playing out when the manager, their boss and leader, is doing as I described, just go silva, you ain’t as good as you think you are.

The lack of fire in the performances these past weeks - even as results elsewhere continually have kept us in it - reflect so badly that you cannot escape the interpretation that a change in coach is needed. Where has all that togetherness that characterized early Silva squads gone? (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, May 18, 10:01:14am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
100%. So maybe in their heart of hearts, the players don't actually want Europe? All the travel, extra games, more potential for injury, boring rehab etc - maybe the likes of Iwobi, ESR, Bassey think nah I'm living a perfectly happy life thank you, good wage, hanging out with my mates, consistently performing well enough to keep that going another year. Can you imagine the same lack of urgency if we were in danger of the drop i.e. something that might actually threaten to derail their careers?
