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

[Bobs]

Not defending Martinez but noticed city and the R's got beat today and both teams had a semi in the next few days, same as us with the Derby before our semi

Both rested many important players we played a full strength team...

Oh Christ - and I've just given HK a lecture on not getting me again !!!

Time to log off and go sit with her indoors to drink wine !

lol lol

If I was investing £200 odd million (allegedly) that would be my order of preference too. If Roberto goes, which I think he will, it might just be because Moshiri thinks the same way.

This season hasn't been good enough imo, and it's bad that it's got to the stage where he's been abused getting into his car, but it might not have mattered anyway. New owner, new broom etc

Who we get, I think Pellegrini, might well be a snotty euro boss though.

...I'd take that over an egotistical Championship one.

Me too.

He deserves it though!

Yup have to admit I deserve that. Hey but thanks for all lads as I read and write more my English and sense of humour will get better. Getting there.

I was just joking mate.

All good banter.

Because Martinez couldn't drop any players and all players had their eye on the semi

No ta. I mean that. Sometimes lost in translation do occur cos of my level of the language.

Your English comes across really good mate.

I have heard of navel gazing but that sounds a little below the belt lol

The season before Martinez took over at Wigan they finished 11th and had the seventh best defensive record in the prem, after Martinez was appointed these were his league finishes in the 4 seasons he was there:

16th, conceding 79 goals.
16th, conceding 61 goals.
15th, conceding 62 goals.
18th (relegated) conceding 73 goals.

Now I know some will say that was Wigan etc, but he is still playing the same tactical way now as he did at Wigan, but with better players, and a better squad than he had at Wigan, but those same tactics are still not working, but for some reason the man can't see this, and still spouts about it being the right way to play.

he also bought 5 or so wigan players with him. i said from day one he would turn us into a wigan type team. he has transformed us into exactly that. EXACTLY!!

 

[hktoffee]

Hit and miss.

A bit like Martinez.

P.S thanks mate I hope I can keep on improving.
