Exactly. It's not like something you need to pay attention to the opinions of. You just watch it to get scores. It's either them or Garth Crooks.
Not sure it's moronic to watch it tbh.
Yeah that's fair enough and think I came across a bit strong there looking back. It's definitely be light entertainment but I have no time for the Silva rant from Merson/Thompson.
Very good manager. Underrated.
Bossing Chelsea away at Stamford bridge. Dominated the game so far.
I'd take him over Wenger right now.
Leicester should try their everything to get him, he probably won't accept though since he can do far better.
Dont be so hasty! Mou will inevitably go to PSG in the coming years, we might need a modern manager.
He needs to follow the path of Poch who now has 2 seasons of managing a team playing in UCL. We should be targeting him rather than Marco because I feel he will be more equipped for the job
True, but he seems to be very happy at Spurs and Levy'd ask 100million anyway.
Him and Jose are buddies, right?
Looks a really talented coach
doing a heck of a job at the moment. Arsenal should keep a close eye on him.
Because all Portuguese people know each other?
No but they were over friendly during our game at Old Trafford last season.
Yes, would prefer he goes through the tiers before coming here. Arsenal and Spurs both good shouts.
I'm such a big fan of this guy.
Yeah I guess they're friends. It was a joke.
Where are those pricks from Soccer Saturday? Probably busy wiping egg off their faces.
Class manager. Can see Spurs going for him once Pochettino leaves.
In for Mourinho when he leaves after next season
Watford look great given their squad. Top job by Silva.
He did a really good job with Hull's disaster of a squad too. We really struggled to beat them last season (won 2-0 at home, lost 2-1 away, drew 0-0 at home).
Silva is by far the outstanding candidate for the Manager of the Year award, no matter what say Pep or José do this season.
What he is doing there is unbelievable really, if I hadn't have been alive for Leicester's title winning season, then I would say this is the best that a team outwit the big boys has performed in the era of the Premier League (Ipswich finishing third once is right up there as well).
He is putting himself very much in the shop window, that much is for sure, surely he can't or won't be there next season.

I would take him in a heartbeat if Jose left. I don't want him to go through the riggers of going to another club before coming here. He's the real deal.
Do not want.
Let down by poor finishing today.
Yeah, Watford had this game in their hands -- player quality rather than managerial tactics were the reason for the loss I'd say.
You'd think doing well with limited resources at Watford would justify a move to United but truth be told, the pressure here would be immense to where I think he would likely flop.
Sure about that? Looked to me like Watford was still playing a rather open game instead of sitting deep. I think it was both.
Me too. I think he's a decent manager but it's madness even suggesting him as our next manager.
Think he bottled it by taking off his striker for that holding midfielder, he should have put on Gray for Deeney and tried to counter.
They had no presence in Chelsea's half, giving all the initiative to Chelsea and allowing them to build from behind.

They brought Watson on for Deeney with 10mins to go to be fair.
Fair point. Watson didn't do anything btw.
Tired the last 15 minutes but completely dominated the game until then. His players missing 2 sitters in the second half didn't help.
There was a period where Watford had 7 shots to Chelsea's 1 in the second half.

Yeah he was trash. All I remember him doing was dragging down Cesc as Chelsea were equalising. Ref played advantage and didn't even book him when it went out of play.Fair point. Watson didn't do anything btw.
Settled for the draw when the game was there to be won, Rudiger and Fabregas especially were struggling with the pressing. I mean no one really expected them to win anyway but I'm sure he'll learn from it.
I believe he dropped the ball, by taking off Deeney. He was actually a nuisance for Chelsea CB's and kept the ball for Watford in the Chelsea half, and tbf they look a little shit defensively. Chelsea didn't even attack their goal that much in the second half, normally with the big teams trailing at home, they keep putting pressure on your back line with waves of attack, but today their only two crosses yielded two goals in the second half. Attacking wise their team look good so credit to him where its due.
His hands were tied with team selection with Watfords current injuries
There is too much lack of calm when doing analysis on his job, it would be better for him to stay at Watford until the end of his contract, I guess it runs out in 2019?
Another thing is missing on the way they play, they will during the season get in some games "heavy" results or defeats, there is a tendency, Liverpool scored 3, City 6, Chelsea 4, because they try to play the same way be it vs Brighton or Chelsea, even if on his last games he has been trying to adapt 3/4/3 in some ocasions.
His agent and himself should try to be patient, he has to make at least 2 full seasons at Watford, which is a club with a decent structure compared to what he found at Hull, excelent scouting network (in fact it belongs to Udinese).
Another thing I see is that maybe another reason they will suffer more goals is because their main strength relies on their midfield and Richarlison upfront, then he can play Deeney/Gray as 9, or switch between Pereyra or Carrillo.
If we look at their fullbacks, the only decent one is Femenia, and looking at their centerbacks they really are nothing special.
This all to say it would be nice to see what can he do to improve them next season, it is a good way to see if he can develop a team in a period of 2 years, and if he is able to do that, I think they can target this season for the top 10 and there is no reason if he stays they should not do the same next season.
The next step if he shows quality would be to keep his carrer in the Premier League working at clubs like Everton or Southampton if any of the other top 6 don't want to take a risk.
I like him, but I still think he is not the best prospect for Portuguese managers in the future, I like more Leo Jardim from Monaco or Fonseca from Shaktar (yes I know I am always saying the same), but it is normal if he is working in England his qualities or lack of them are more exposed.
Anyway, better judge their consistency at the end of the season, but I think they can avoid a relegation battle.
