Defence

[SteStocksDJ]

So we know our defence has been shocking recently....with alot of people pointing out that Martinez inherited a solid defence from Moyes.... And the second season was a true Martinez defence.....

But consider this....
Belgium have won 11 of their 12 competitive matches under Roberto Martinez (D1), scoring 51 goals and conceding just eight in those games

sound, the second two seasons of the martinez reign were still appalling and I'm still glad he was sacked

The games at Goodison that season vs Saudi Arabia and Gibraltar were crackers weren't they, which makes this a great comparison

Yeah I get that. But the players have to be looked at. They've seemingly downed tools for Martinez and koeman.

How long til they do the same for Silva.

They've just scored 5 versus Tunisia who England struggled to score 2 against...

True... Just worries me that we don't seem to have a backbone as a club - seemingly player power is becoming more prevalent recently .

The same as quoting games Vs Saudi and Gibraltar?

They will have the real test against top team like Spain or Brazil. What were their opposition in the 11 wins you mentioned? And the players of the Belgian team are qualities.

Nothing.

However, do consider that Martinez doesn’t get to pick who is Belgian and who isn’t.

He could sign any nationally here, whereas Belgium may just have good defenders.

Edit: sorry just seen that Roydo closed this
