He (Martinez) just doesn't do enough for me.
There are players (estimated, realistic sale values in brackets) such as Stones (40m), Baines (15m), Coleman (15m), McCarthy (25m), Barkley (40m), Deulofeu (15m), Lukaku (50m) in his squad yet we are pathetic at home and linger just above the bottom half of the table, still.
With the squad he has, and the options he had in the summer (could have got rid of Naismith before waiting, then rejecting a last-minute offer, McGeady could have gone too, etc) we should be even stronger and have more strength in depth.
I genuinely feel like his defensive naivity will always let us down and we'll always concede too many goals to achieve anything.
Most other managers, in my opinion, with this squad, would have us much higher and performing better. I don't could pathetic own-half five-yard sideways passes as a positive thing.
I think he doesn't have it in him to motivate the players, either. Fourth was there for the taking two years ago, then he let it slip in a series of fixtures we ought to have secured it in. Now the players start games great, get in with him at half time, and come out looking a shadow of the team that started the game.
Something is wrong. We should be miles higher up the league and have at least 10/12 more points than we do have.
