Martinez new Belgium head coach

[Sennott Street]

Can't wait until he gives his Men In Black post match press conference.

Commentator just described their performance as "passionless". Belgium fans doing a conga to keep themselves entertained. Oh...

 

[Gil]

Belgium have no idea what they've got themselves into. Spain have thoroughly dominated them in their own backyard. They couldn't even progress the ball out of their own half.

Feel sorry for Rom.

I reckon he'll do well with Belgium.
His three major flaws at Everton were :-

1. Not organising a defence
2. Not getting / keeping players fully fit
3. Not recognising many of our squad weren't skilful enough to fit his philosophy

Belgium have very talented players, so (3) is fixed.

He won't have the players for long enough to affect their fitness long enough, so (2) is fixed.

(1) might be an issue, but as long as his defenders just do what they do at club level then it might not matter.

I wish him well but don't miss him at all.

Few teething problems tonight

Phenomenal that. Crowd boos were taken out of context and the Belgium fans have apologised for the mistake.

I just don't rate him as a manager. He completely ruined us over two seasons and his record at Wigan can't be glossed over because he won a couple of difficult games in the cup.

His inability to command the dressing room is his biggest flaw. It's all well and good when things are going your way, but if you've got no authority over the big personalities then the game's up. No one was playing for him last year and you can't blame them.

He'll be in the dressing room telling the players how bad the fans are now. No one's fault but theirs lads.

I presume this isn't a compliment.
