Not sure if people read the article. I'm not even saying Martinez is in Guardiola's league. I'm just saying he took the Barcelona plan and followed it to a tee, and that martinez was in it so deep, that any changes he made he felt would have undone all the work he did up to that point. Some more stuff from the article that I couldn't help but notice similarities between Guardiola/Martinez
- Presence of a pivot/Quarterback: tick
- Charging fullbacks: tick
- Ball playing centrebacks: tick
- Inverted wingers: tick
Ill give Moyes some credit here, I don't think he ever lost the players like Martinez has this season. Even though Moyes had rough patches, he seemed to always find a way to turn it around, mostly by reverting to grinding out results. Martinez's problem has always been that he's unwilling to adjust his philosophy, and the players don't have the mental toughness at the back. Recipe for disaster.
Also while I'm posting, im also surprised by the number of people telling Roberto to walk. If anybody deserves the ire of the supporters it should be Bill Kenwright for sticking with him so long and letting him be humiliated the way he has. Martinez is probably sitting on a million pound contract, and nobody is walking from that sort of money. Bill should have sacked him long ago.
I love how people class losing to Atletico as "failure", its football, all teams lose football matches ffs.
