Don't know what some people think a manager does. I presume that's the team the overwhelming majority would have started with. And despite some thinking 'high press' is like some superpower we suddenly get, the tactics were fine today. The way our midfield was being out thought and out fought we'd have been torn apart if we pressed them further up the pitch.
They did everything right and our 'best team since the eighties' couldn't do a thing right.
Martinez doesn't tell them to stop doing all the things they've been doing well for the last eight or nine games. He could have brought all three subs on and taken nobody off and we wouldn't have scored.

So the team the manager built, coached, trained for the last 3 years isn't able to compete with a team in the same league but it's not his fault.

Ok then
 
Yeah, because everyone last week wasn't over the moon at the Chelsea QF win.

I know which one of those two matches (Arsenal today and Chelsea last week) I'd rather have won.

So we can say this about every crap game between now and the end of the season

Get beat at Anfield, Oh well, Doesn't matter, We beat Chelsea last month

MARTINEZ IN
 

Winning trophies is the name of the game last time I looked.

An FA cup and finishing 15th? Yes please. In a heartbeat.

No, I want to watch a decent team week in week out. One FA Cup win every twenty years is a waste of time. I took far more enjoyment from the 73 points season than I did from the 95 cup final win because I thought we were building a platform for sustained success. How wrong I was.
 

And there's a trend as well, it's quite scary when you look at that stats with regards to wins vs losses/draws

The only thing different from us and Wigan is that he's drawn more games with us, the win ratio over the last 18 months is on par with his tenure at Wigan

Out if his depth

See ye knobhead
That what you posted last week? Oh no, you didn;'t post last week did you?
 
Yeah, because everyone last week wasn't over the moon at the Chelsea QF win.

I wasn't. I was happy we won but I bet Bradford were happy with their cup run as well. Doesn't make their manager suddenly brilliant though does it? In fact basing it on cup runs alone for a manager is pretty poor defence considering the other teams who have them.

Or in fact lets look at previous great managed cup runs,

Portsmouth relegated
Wigan relegated
Southampton relegated
West ham relegated
Bradford league one

These are the clubs who have good cup runs and go on to greater things because of it eh?
 
Hi lads, please rate your fume right now out of ten. With 0 being chilled as a Swissman and 10 being as furious as kangaroo piss.
