@Dr. Gonzo @LFCMadLad there doesn't seem to be any major consensus from the usual sources on Twitter so I don't know. There has been a lot of talk about Gallardo who has just won the Copa Libertadores, but nothing more than shortening odds and longing stares from some of our fans that follow South American football a bit.
I doubt Silva would actually get sacked if he won at Anfield, not that he will. Perhaps if he did then they'd still be waiting for the next loss as the excuse to give him the boot.
I still like the bloke, think he's very misunderstood and has been very unlucky this season. It would still be underachieving but we've been good enough to be comfortably mid-table, not 17th. A lot of stuff has happened that's not his fault. The club failed to secure a Zouma replacement because David Luiz had a hissy fit which cost us our plan A (Zouma) and our plan B (Tomori loan) for the CB position. Gbamin was signed to replace Gueye and he gets injured for months. Gomes out for the season. Delph unable to stay fit for more than 2 games in a row. Individual mistakes by players, VAR at Brighton, what a season it has been. It's a results business though, as they say.
