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

[MikeH72]

Well that goal we conceded is 100% on Coleman...nobody else.

What about the fact we played 90 minutes hardly looking like scoring for the second game in a row, and made only two subs one being in the 87th minute and the other being taking off our most dangerous player. Is that Coleman's fault?

 

[Ruairi77]

I don't get it when people say this might as well say Spurs without Harry Kane would be midtable, Leicester without Mahrez would be bottom half and so on

Or you could say 'Everton with Lukaku should be where Spurs are with Kane' Either way, Martinez has to go and Everton have to go all out to get Mourinho. With a strong finish, I can see united keeping LVG for one more season. If we really have the money, lets go and get a proper manager.

Standing by for Davek to weigh in with the "it's all Coleman's fault' gambit

It's mass hysteria, organised by a lynch mob of the self-entitled, we play football that has been touched by the gods and have been or are about to be in 2 domestic cup semi finals....oh and 24 months ago we got 72 points.

Think that's everything.

On a brighter note, Surely another step closer to a new dawn after yet another shambles this afternoon

Well yeah but the game isn't over at 1-0. We weren't anywhere near good enough at attacking. A 0-0 with no shots by either team shouldn't really by our goal.

I don't actually care about the league anymore but if you do, then that wasn't good enough.

 

[Caolam]

While Coleman was speculating for the goal if anyone thinks it is a realistic defence of Martinez to say the loss was down to Coleman they are delusional. Utd were a bog standard side, they didn't deserve to win, we on the other hand deserved to loose.

I think he's going to have to win the FA cup or have Rom publicly say if he gets fired I don't want to play here. I like him. He's a nice guy in a managerial fraternity full of unlikable turds. I think we've been unlucky in a fair share of matches too. However sooner or later the results are going to have to come. We have the talent, we have the depth, we haven't been hit with an oppressive schedule or injuries either.

You guys are saying this since December 2014.

Nope...but doesn't change the fact we would have had a point without Coleman's error.

 

[Groucho]

I fail to see how anyone can defend Martinez.

And the players over the last two games.

Not good enough in any way.

 

[matty1878]

Discontent needs to be showed tho not just on here. Shall we all throw in for a plane?

 

[Fearthainn]

But we did turn up against chelsea. I think the players have given up on the league but they'll play like tigers in the semi.

Yep, the players will be up for that one like they were for the City and Chelsea games. They'll close the opposition down, run for 90 minutes and take control of the match.

Basically, they'll ignore Martinez's instructions and let the occasion take care of it.

So there is hope.

Correct. But who does one blame for the tactic of a whole team standing off the opposition leaving them have time on the ball when the team goes behind. It's an embarrassment. As bad a villa today

 

[blulouie]

Cant be doing with the personal jibes ....Fraudo, Clown etc .Makes us look cheap.

The ONLY thing that matters is he the right man to take us forward ?

My answer is he isnt........so needs to be replaced. Promptly.

Which essentially renders him useless except for team selection and subs.

I'm still hesitant because Steve McLaren is a free agent now.
