Roberto Martinez discussion

[steken1]

His subs were spot on. Barkley was going to get sent off/was doing nothing again, needed to be him or Clev for the subs he used.

I think RM got it right.

It was Barkley driving us forward and moving it out wide quickly. As soon as he went off they got a foothold and looked the more likely to score.

Besic done nothing at all and Osman can't run. Liability in a fast paced game.

That's the barometer then? Moyes has been sacked by his last two clubs.

Moreover would Moyes have been able to get the likes of delofeu and Lukaku to join the club in the first place?

Bobby needs more time imo. We were lucky today, very lucky in fact, but that is the first game we've had some luck all season. Even then we were unlucky not to get a peno.

Barkley barely drove forward today imo, once or twice but one of the times he was felled and the game halted despite him getting back up with the ball and running.

Barkley needs to create more, and understand that HE DICTATES the tempo of our game. If he bursts forward, so does eveyerbody else, if he turns around, so does everybody else

edit: this is how i feel anyway, plenty of times he received the ball and should have just looked forward to play the ball quickly (the ball is faster than himself or others).. but instead he wants 10 touches to play a pass backwards and halt our attack

One win in five against absolutely woeful opposition.

Players hitting the woodwork, and missing good chances isn't really down to Martinez though.

Completely agree about Besic - if he's the replacement for Ross, the sub should never have been made.

Besic was very good when he came on, and del was one of the most dangerous when he came on

Del wasted everything he touched lid.

Nothing to do with missed chances mate, all about the defending.

So basically you are saying we were jammy. We won with a last second goal and if that didn't go in we still would not have lost. We played well, we never got beat, we kept a clean sheet, we were the better team....yet you still not happy.

The point I was making was to one of the lads who said a better manager would have us more clinical.

Kept the full back pegged back and won us quite a few corners. Took the one we scored with aswell

Your still pissed you lad.

We shouldve had a pen and their keeper was pulling off some really good saves aswell

Besic had what, 10 minutes? From recollection, he sniffed out a move down our right, popped up in their box a few times, helped with a move down their right that led to a corner, (not sure it was the last one). The lad done sound. @MoutsGoat

Just a little butch lesbian that Besic one...

Some right saddos in here, we've been playing good football as not getting results, now we've got a result and it's not good enough because we scored from a late corner. Oh and we dominated the game as well and would have been unlucky to draw.
