That's a myth.

Commiting so many players forward that you are constantly vulnerable to shipping goals isn't very good attacking football.

The Oviedo goal at old Trafford summed it up. Two full backs in the Utd 16 yard box.

His gung ho attitude was eventually found out.

In the last 20 years Martinez's teams scored two of our three highest scoring Premier League seasons...and he was only here three seasons! The biggest scoring season's in the last two decades were the 61 goals we scored in 2013/14 under RM; 60 goals we scored in the 2009/10 season under Moyes; and the 59 goals scored last season under RM.

He was a manager who liked to attack and score, and those stats underline it. Anyone trying to detract from that are just being churlish. He was a poor defensive manager overall but there aren't many attacking coaches better. He's had Belgium scoring record amounts of goals and he doesn't have to be bothered about the defence there because they dont have utter dross like Jagielka, Baines and Coleman - whatever else the latter two may be they are chronic defenders.

No i don't have to. It doesnt tell me anything if they are or were international players. You're talking about a leftback who's past his prime and the right back of Ierland. You really have to be some player if you play for Ireland !!

If you think Funes Mori is quality than i'll rest my case.

So Koeman doesn't have to do any coaching of the back four, just has to buy more defenders...because the ones we have aren't from Germany or Italy?

Sound that dirty lad.

Yes he has something to do with it, thats why its better than last year. But he cant make a Maldini of Jagielka or Funes Mori can he?
I never said that he has to be from Germany or Italy. You can buy someone from Zimbabwe as long as its better than we have. It's simple, really.
