Been a big backer for Silva in the past, but when you watch it with replays, it looks like he’s tried to dive and get a pen even though no one’s around him… So poor
This.
The small squad philosophy worked for a while under Nuno because of how we played, sitting deep, conserving energy, starting slow in the first half and growing into games in the second with some great counter-attacking football.
Years later, we still have the small squad (numbers-wise)...
Tbf, I agreed at the time with both Lage & Lopetegui speaking out against the board for lack of investment, but in hindsight, it didn't get them what they wanted in the end.
They had to invest when Lopetegui joined as they knew their investment of Premier League football was at risk sitting...
Like us fans, he's probably just as frustrated that a huge chance of success/europe (either through the league or FA cup) has seemingly fizzled out.
Think that's the first time he's ever really spoke out at FOSUN to the media, so I presume that having to play a hugely depleted squad the past...

I don't wholly blame Gary or the players for today, played well first 20 minutes or so & if RAN tucks his shot away then it could've been a...
Exactly the same view here. If it was up to me, I'd consider selling anyone else in the whole squad bar Gomes, RAN, & Cunha.
Thankfully, I think Cunha is the least of our worries to leave, with the money we paid for him it would take a hefty fee to sell that I'm not convinced anyone would stump...
At present, it's most likely to be the midweek after Arsenal, so April 23rd/24th...
If it's not announced as that in the next week, chances are it will be moved to the midweek after Crystal Palace (May 14th/15th)
They were probably waiting until the FA Cup quarter-finals were all played as that would impact when games are rescheduled.
I presume they will be announced before the end of this week with our game vs Bournemouth slotting into the midweek between the Arsenal & Luton games (20-27 April)
