Martinez new Belgium head coach

[The binman chronicles]

To be fair, it looks like Roberto has taken that lot as far as he can. Something that happened with the Moyes donkeys he inherited.

RM should now grab one of the better Euro club jobs he can and leave the Belgians to it.

This is 24 karat pure comedy gold.

Those league 1 standard Belgians, Martinez has rinsed them for all their worth but there is no educating pork, eh?

A lot of people rushing to jump on the bandwagon to criticise 'El Gaffer'. Not me.

It was a freak result - they happen to the best of managers.

Their centre-forward, who normally couldn't hit a barn door, was in a phenomenal moment of form.

Rom 'Hot Shot' Lukaku was missing - his mobility and hold-up play would have given Bobby's boys much more control.

I'm pretty sure I spotted Jags and Baines having a coffee with Felli and Kompany in Manchester last week - say no more.

He failed to get Belgium qualify for the Nations League Semi.

@deipnosophist can you confirm?

So he "forgot to defend" did he ?

Bit difficult to believe that when you are 2-0 up and all your outfield players are in or around the opposition penalty and you are wide open to the counter attack.

Smacks of abdicating responsibility and throwing players under the bus.

That result was typical Martinez and just showed every reason why he will never be a top manager. The formation he chose, the style of play and the players selection. All he needed to do was not lose by two or more, however he decided he would play how he always plays, total football. On top of that he included Tielemans and Chadli, two players who have been central to Monaco's shocker of a season and both played their part in Belgium's shocker yesterday.

For all of Martinez's good points, he will always come short because he just doesn't seem to get the idea of horses for courses and in a game like yesterday he could have easily played a simple game where they keep it tight and he had the players up top to nick the goal in hazard etc.

To summarise : He`ll never ever learn from his mistakes, because he knows best and will always come up short.

Newcastle beckons.

Not a hope. Beijing Bobby at best. Or somewhere like Qatar or the UAE.

Ha Ha. Stopped reading there.

It`s time to move on Dave.

He`ll just let you down time and time again.

Yet again he`s shown that he`ll always be an utter clown.

Sorry, but it`s time to let go x

Most successful Belgian manager of all time. Zero to prove.

Time to move on to a top club job now.

Laughing at this stuff from the dwindling band of refuseniks.

The World Cup dealt a death blow to you lot. Roberto a respected coach the world over since that. You lot with your anger management problems left in tatters to post bitter tosh on a forum.

The world's unfair, I suppose.

Sorry Dave, he`ll always be the Bridesmaid, never the Bride.

FA Cup win says you're wrong.

There'll be more trophies for the boss down the line.

He's not even the bridesmaid.

He's the over enthusiastic neighbour who somehow got an invite but actually has no real place being there.

FA Cup win and RELEGATION in the same season.

Best to remember those little facts if we are going to be pedantic.

Unfortunately it`s more than likely going to be the Checkatrade Trophy.

Martinez and Southgate both did well at the World Cup , roberto admittedly with a better squad but Southgate has obviously continued that good form into this next tournament.
