Yep, and in the meantime, hopefully Martinez can turn things around with this squad. The manager is obviously the one with the responsibility, but the players have to step up and be counted. Martinez can only control so much.

No, it isn't a popular choice. That would be the definition of going backwards.

Terrible manager only got Valencia in the CL both seasons he was there (which automatically gets you sacked here) his missus isn't too shabby either http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/say-hello-orsi-fehr-watford-7138294

Yes, you are right, both out of work. Sampaoli is fine, but Bielsa is genius - created own attacking style of football with 4 core principles (concentration, permanent focus, rotation and improvisation), with pace, intensity, and know how to defend. Yes, as genuis, he is complicated, probably little idiosyncratic, obsessive character
But if we employ psychologist and manage this challenges, nobody would be better.Hang on are you saying he's bad or good haha??

Gary Neville might be free soon. If we're lucky he could bring his Brother as an assistant, knows the Club inside out, great at pointing and shouting.
BRING ON THE NEVILLE DREAM TICKET!!!

Doubt we'd sack him with that record.But Spanish football is an odd creature.I honestly heard lads in the local football bar saying how they wanted him out after a whole month without a win.RM take note!

Just got them into the Semi Final, and as we know that is real success.
Yep, that's very true.

Just we'd be able to defend. I agree less pretty football but there were times when we played some great stuff. Especially down the left hand side.

Whilst the pointing and shouting is often a p**s take, its probably a lot more than what's going on in our defence now.......
yes sounds a bit of a character but i think his style would go down very well here.Yes, you are right, both out of work.

Sampaoli is decent as well not just possession for the sake of it , when Chile got beat after having 70% odd possession the ball, he said,
Its like meeting a woman in a bar, and buying drinks for her till 5 am in the morning, then a man walks in and takes her by the hand to the bathroom and makes love to her, then she leaves with him.
Its no good having possession if somebody else wins the prize.
I can think of somebody who should take the moral of that tale on board

According to the guy I spoke to, he left Benfica as he was offered €30,000 A MONTH at Sporting, instead of the €20,000 he was getting at Benfica. I was amazed it was so low (compared to the Premier League), but he insists that's the rate for top managers in Portugal!
I would like to hear the manager talk about our defensive play so far this season.
It is a problem, we have given away too many soft goals , too many late goals and in general too many goals. That is undeniable.
We have had some horrible decisions against us, but that apart we have a problem.
Where does our problems lie ?
Is it the defenders not defending first and playing football second, is our midfield set incorrectly and not giving enough cover to the back four ?, are our wide players too offensive and not offering enough defensively or is the whole problem Lukakus fault ?
Maybe , if you want to play like Barcelona you need better players than we have and somewhere we have to find a compromise between our attacking and our defensive game.
I think the managers job depends on it in the longer term.
