Bottom line is that he's a good manager with decent players.

I expect them to settle in the same way as they did last season.

Unfortunately we have these slow starts because of the summer transfer strategy of the DoF.

...and now we wont see him until next summer, because he doesn't do January windows...just asks the manger to fix the mess he created.
Good manager bit haha, he hopeless.
 

It isn't a simple fix though, I'm sure it frustrates him too. Lpool struggled to break down Sheff Utd today. I hear a lot of shouts for 433 as if that would somehow break down 2 banks of 4 better and drop Siggy etc, I don't know how. I'd like to see 442 get a chance against those teams from the start but that might be a disaster too. In the end 7 games in to 2nd season is too soon to sack him. Doesn't matter who we get in, there'll be some issues. I'm sure he's analysing these things and thinking about switching it about

It’s quite simple, you have people in the pockets of space. In between the two banks, you have the wingers come in and the midfielders going beyond to drag the opposition out their bank.
 
Not in my opinion, Martinez was handed a defence which was functional and he failed to build on that strength because preventing goals was not in his mind set....no plan B. Exactly the same with Silva....doesn't know how to turn a match around or motivate players who are ok when there is nothing at stake (end of last season ?). Mediocrity personified....


Whatever.

At least we had a good, old fashioned season where we played great attacking football and won matches bith home and away.

God knows when we will have one of those again :(
 

Listen.

You see right now?

I would happily take 15th place.

We are sleepwalking our way into a relegation battle and quite frankly I don’t think this bunch of misfits have the bottle to win it.

Do you fancy our chances agains Burnley next week?

I don’t.

A point max. Still don’t think we’ll end up in a relegation scrap, but anything other than top 8 is poor.

(That last sentence sums it up really)
 
Thing is I do not trust this club to appoint the right bloke.

And I say club, not just brands, cos blue bill can't help but stick his nose in.

Agree again. In fairness, I wouldn’t know who to appoint, short of Mourinho, who wouldn’t touch us with a barge pole, which manager with the clout we need could we get?
