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

Contrast to popular belief that is not the definition of insanity.

Why burst the bubble mate?!

Insanely committed. Dave is still defending his corner like a terrier. If we actually win the FA Cup, you are all going DOWN.

Aye that was the gamble with switching before the season ends.

It was a chance I had to take.

Respect that move tbh. I'm switching if we win it.

That Martinez season when we won 13 homes games - it was the largest number of home games won for 27 years.

Lol.

Martinez even holds the best record since HKI was in charge for the very thing he's being slaughtered for at the moment.

More inconvenient truths.

And we got 42 points, the exact same figure as the season before funnily enough.

Seeing as you always like to talk about points.

As ive said for months now, he has the tactical nous of a cactus, his motivation skills are simply telling every player they are the best in the world, it might work with certain players, but anybody with an IQ above 20 can see through the man.

His man management skills seem questionable to say the least. There have been a public few fallouts, Distin, mirallas. Naismith scored a hat trick and then never played again. Lennon was not played for months, Deolefeu has been banished and Stones was played when out of form to his detriment.

Naismith scored a hat trick and then never played again.

That's not true, he started loads of games after that and stank them all out until he was dropped.

He is not a manager of men. He is weak and, as with so many weak people, when he chooses to take a stand, it's on the wrong issue with the wrong people.

Inconvenient truth (i): Martinez does not possess all the necessary skills to create a top 4 challenging team.

Specifically, he lacks the ability to instil belief in his players, he lacks tactical awareness and the ability to change the course of a game through change of tactics or personnel and thirdly he lacks the ability to organise a team defensively, and improve individual defenders.

I remember when he first joined and this was a big target of his. He pointed out the players definitely have some sort of inferiority complex when playing against the top teams. The sad thing is that nothing has changed.

Al GoreK, an inconvenient truth.

 

[joey_macmo]

Ha Ha. No mate. Wrong again. If we win the last three it's 7 and we won 6 in the 80s.

7 home wins is the lowest figure in any season during the 80's

Best to check your figures before laughing at others

 

[Prevenger17]

TBF My stats were in all comps at all venues, with the only exception that it's against PL opposition in said comps.

Aye, but we're fully aware that we're not winning as much as we should be, anyone can see that.

 

[JAYTALITY]

Why burst the bubble mate?!

No reason, I just like doing things like that.

The worst record against the top 4 since walker I believe

Apart from the fact that results have progessively worsened

If he had any decency he'd resign and retire from management.
