Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[bluewally]

He mainly said left open to interpretation.
'I don't feel the chemistry is quite there on the pitch at the moment'
Is not..
Baines says No Chemistry Between The Players

"I just don't feel as though the chemistry is quite there with the team on the pitch at the moment, and it hasn't been for a while.

We're in games, we were in the game on Sunday and had a couple of chances, but we're not performing as a team to the level we know we can or we should be. Results have an impact on that because chemistry and confidence go hand in hand.

Look at the teams who are having success this year and you'd say they have chemistry."

There's no interpretation required there

 

[bluewally]

That's a shock that they are defending themselves isn't it. And the statements I made are about how it was presented. Not whether they actually quote him at some point

They're defending themselves against a lie from Martinez that Baines was misquoted. Nothing shocking about it.

Shocking is trying to come up with hypothetical situations to explain this away without criticising Martinez.

And I'd agree with all that. But how is quoting what he did say proving it wasn't presented very differently

It's just when he's sacked now not if.

So you are sticking with those journalists then as guardians of the truth. Good luck with that

 

[hktoffee]

Sort of. You asked what's worse than being in a relegation battle with this squad. League 2 is worse.

You can say conference. Championship is the next step although I don't think that is possible with the current squad.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Hopefully we'd go for a big name manager for once. Pedigree over potential.

Though nothing is guaranteed in football. The media were fapping over Louis Van Gaal but he's barely improved upon Moyes' tenure.

In fact he's slightly worse, points-wise.

Ha ha wtf

I'd say they're even for charisma though.

So you'd prefer we stick with your imaginary situations?

He then followed it up by talking about how much we missed Gareth Barry. Obviously he's not an individual

 

[DrEFC]

Maybe he's just popcorning us, and he wants to emulate Kendall exactly, win the cup then the League and Europe next year? Man's a straight up genius.

I'm changing my vote today. Off the fence and with the plotters.

Off to go pick me up some of these:

Welcome mate,you know it makes sense.
