Now I know the performance was poor yesterday especially the penetration and attacking play as Bilic stated in his post-match interview,but he doesn't deserve this negativity,for crying out loud he has only been in the job five minutes.He will come good ,all the teams he has managed have his trademark stamped on them,attacking play and goals ,he will get it right.I think fans in the main,expected a similar team selection to what Bilic put out, and he probably felt, as we all did, that there was enough quality in that side to finish the opposition off.But how wrong we were.He isn't going to make that mistake again especially with better opposition ahead.Bilic is still assessing the players ,especially the forwards to see whether they have what it takes to unlock packed defences,I'm not convinced ,I don't think he is either,but we will have to wait and see on that one.But I think the likes of Valencia,Sakho,Carroll,are your definites ,one more quality signing and a quality loan would put our minds at rest.The crossing yesterday was another area that was concerning,it was just hit and hope,no body was targeted,so many crosses wasted.Jarvis and Amalfitano,have quality there is no doubt but ,neither are floating my boat at the moment,but doesn't help matters playing in a side with less quality then they are used to.I'm sure even Payet's performance level would have suffered in that game.Hernandez,Mirallas,Halilvic,Milan Badelj ,Moussa Sow of Fenerbache, but the African Cup of Nations, January time, may be a big turn off signing more African players
I think your right essex
It is ridiculous that bilic is getting stick already.Like you i believe that he will come good,FFS sam was given 4 years....
It's a wind up tweet for sure
It's a wind up tweet for sure. Nothing to get yer balls tied in a knot over imo...I'm sure Slaven knows exactly what his staring line-up is v Arsenal and if Nolan is anywhere near said line-up, I think the Twittersphere and bloghavens will be on fire as soon as team sheet is revealed. Wasn't very pretty and the coaches know that better than us, well I hope they do...!
the thing i cant understand
the thing i cant understand is he doesn't know half the team from Adam right , but surly he's consulted the alacado's of the club , even the ground staff could have told him the status of most of that team he put out last night , surly someone had a word in his lug hole , Nolan, ,Jarvis , J O B , Miaga , even Noble will struggle to maintain a first team place in the new season , i mean , come on Miaga is about as use full as a light house in a corn field , not havin a go , honest , the only thing i can think of is that like me he's not to pushed about this competition
One retard on Twitter says
One retard on Twitter says sack Sam and they build an article around. Quality journalism.
Silliness. Looking for sense
Silliness. Looking for sense on twitter is like looking for nuns in a whore house.

Eh? Saying Bilic should be sacked is not silliness?

We are in a period of
We are in a period of transition, the style we want too play will take time the future will be bright once the players gel as a team,theres some good players coming our way under slav but need a prolific goalscorer badly
4 games playing a very
4 games playing a very ineffective midfield Samuelson apart imo. Slaven Bilic should now drop Nolan, Miaga and Noble on Thursday and bring in Payet and Poyet with Samuelson either in their somewhere or on the bench (if Zarate starts). If he plays a similar team again with the remnants of the Allardyce misfits, we are out of Europe. Obiang and Koyate should also start as well and hopefully we will see a few goals to give us leeway in the return game a week later. Dont know about Lanzini or Jenkinson (to replace JOB) maybe too early but hopefully we will see them soon
It's time for some of the new players to take over.
As for Nolan stating he wants to start every game and train 100% I have been waiting to see him perform 100% ever since we were promoted and it aint happened yet! Our worse player to date over the last three years and the reason we have struggled in midfield carrying him as a passenger!
Let's hope Bilic finally sees sense in his team selection???
For the Astra game next
For the Astra game next Thursday ......ADRIAN....CRESSWELL,REID,OGBONNA,JENKINSON.... KOUYATE,POYET....LANZINI,PAYET,VALENCIA....ZARATE.....Obiang out injured,Sakho,Noble ?,Tomkins, suspended.
Subs : Lee,Samuelson,Hendrie,Pike,Collins,Jarvis
Desperately miss the quality of Song,just hope he gets fully fit soon and we sign him
That is the sort
Of line up i would like to see also essex.Then we can start judging bilic a bit more imo...
I'm bemused by the notion
I'm bemused by the notion that Bilic has an attacking mindset. His CV is full of 1-0's.
Bilic will get time
The board will certainly give Bilic time, no worries there. It is far too early to even consider judging him. The Europa is a real dilemma as clubs have suffered before from the long and demanding season we face should we qualify, however we would love to qualify, proper full on European nights would be great, the experience will benefit our. Players, it will bring in money and there is a champions league place for the winners.
Slav put out a team lacking in pace and devoid of a proper forward, but as stated elsewhere it was entirely reasonable to believe that the team could see off the third best team in Malta.
The heat, the over confidence of the players, which I feel contributed to the indiscipline when things started to go wrong, playing with ten and not having a striker all contributed to the poor performance.
We will sign another forward, we will look far better with Jenks playing, and Cresswell was playing his first game, Ogbonna, Obiang, Payet and Sakho will transform the team that started in Malta so no need to panic. However the squad wasn't good enough last season and hasn't been improved enough yet this season. Obiang is in but Song not yet signed Payet in but Downing gone, jenks was here last season anyway. We still need 3 players, a wide player a forward and a midfield player (Song?) would give us a squad which can manage the season. If not, Slaven Bilic will have to be good and lucky.
Good assessment kh. Clock is
Good assessment kh. Clock is ticking ,................I can see it beng another transfer deadline day nailbiter.
Yes
I think it will go to deadline day, I think the board will wait and see if we qualify for Europa group stages before finalising the squad. If we do, it means more games, requiring more players and bringing more money, if not I think one or two loans will be it
yep, I think your right
