Monday Morning Quarterback: Watford fans should make the most of Silva while they have him

Silva could have his pick of clubs next summer

Watford may have thwarted the attempts of Everton to poach Marco Silva, but the advice for supporters delighted by that news would be to enjoy him while you can. Silva is clearly ambitious and is improving his reputation by the week. Come next summer, there may be bigger clubs than Everton knocking on chairman Scott Duxbury’s door.

Victory at Newcastle means that only Manchester City and Chelsea have more away wins than Watford in the Premier League. The most striking thing is just how organised Silva has his team. It is obvious that every player understands what is expected of them in each game scenario, be it counter-attack or defensive set-piece. That only comes from the squad buying into their manager’s methods, and the manager inspiring them to do so.
