CARRAGHER: Your team has been criticised for the goals you have conceded, leads being thrown away. When it happens do you concentrate on working with the back four for a week or do you just think that is one part of the game?

MARTINEZ: We are not going to be a team that is just going to be solid, that keeps a clean sheet and waits for a chance to score. We have been built to take control of the game, to break teams down from open play. That is something I get a real joy from.

CARRAGHER: But does that not change in the game at times?

MARTINEZ: Yes, but that is game management. That is making certain decisions that you shouldn't throw those leads away. The modern trend now in football is to work on being very organised and hitting teams on the counter.

That is the easiest and most economical way of playing. You don't get hurt. I don't want to be like that.

As a manager, I will never look away from the style I want.

CARRAGHER: Do you not think you get better results playing like that?

MARTINEZ: Certainly, it is easier.

CARRAGHER: But why would you not do that then?

MARTINEZ: The level of your team will give you a certain level. You will never over-achieve, you will never win silverware. That is a choice. I respect every style.

Haaaaa.....

Me and @The_La having a breakdown and swearfest at the same point. Ace.

He's off his teats.

He's getting beyond parody.
Unbelievable.
Basically...there's a way to be good at winning football matches. But Roberto Martinez - an ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM MANAGER - doesn't want to use that way, because he's got his own, special, magical way WHICH DOESN'T WORK.

AAAAGHGHH!
