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

[Fearthainn]

What we need is an alternative league table, where laying siege to the opposition team's goal and entertaining the neutrals equates to points.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Did we test Foster at any point?

Probably the easiest game he's had this season. The guy sitting next to me in the Park End had more trouble with Everton's pathetic goal attempts than Foster did.

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

Same as Moyes, there is something lacking in what ever that thing is that can make you a gret manager. We kept hold of Moyes for far too long, just hope we dont do the same with RM

 

[JAYTALITY]

We won the passing and chances doh.

 

[micknick]

Did we test Foster at any point?

Yes a couple of times but the woodwork also helped him a couple of times when he was beaten all ends up.

*legs it

We've conceded a phenomenal amount of goals at home.

 

[Tree13]

How can the tactics be failed and personnel wrong if we laid siege to their goal?

Doesn't make sense.

The players failed to convert. Simple as that.

So we laid siege to their goal yet somehow left their keeper untroubled, mustering a pathetic six shots on target in the entire 90 minutes.

I wonder if bringing on Kone and Osman instead of Mirallas would be viewed as wise or unwise in those circumstances.

It's the Gwladys St end. Upper and Lower.

 

[chicoazul]

Maybe sub's could be better? Or even a £13.5m player coming on might of changed things Dave?

But he is deemed unfit!! For a pro footy player!!

He wasn't fit enough to make the squad Foz.

GET NAISSE ON.

Obviously a rhetorical question, but I'll answer it anyway.

Unwise.

 

[ijjysmith]

Does that mean we've actually conceded more at home than Aston sodding Villa?

*weeps into tea

It's OK. We are away next week. And the week after....

 

[TimmyOTool]

Anyone hear the fella on Merseyside after the match claiming that jones is in fact the man who makes the subs and Martinez has little say on the sideline? He sits in the enclosure and is thus well informed... Apparently

GET NAISSE ON.

How did he pass his medical then?
