Roberto Martinez discussion

[Dithering Dougie]

I think people have forgotten what an effing turn up for the books it was that Davek became the voice of pro-establishment positivity on this forum. Apart from his views on Liverpool, we had absolutely no common ground, and still don't. Now we're suddenly Davek's lackeys. Sad to be pigeon-holed, but that cat-orange leaves a big shadow I suppose.

I can't believe I forgot to mention his views on Baines and Jags ffs I've just kicked myself in the style of Besic.




Obviously I'm fine. I hardly felt it.

Have we moved on objectively in term of league standing from Moyes Prob not, have we moved on in terms of the clubs overall structure, I would say so.

He's made some absolutley gash signings though, we were spoilt with Moyes though.

 

[KevMirallas]

I made that point Kevo. Credit a bish.

Would of, but begging for shout outs is a bit of a turn off frankly.

That was the sort of rubbish midfield combo that used to finish top 6. That's impossible now though, I read it on here.

That's never going to happen now they're both blue badge holders is it?

I removed him off ignore long enough to see he got rid of his little 'laminated special' avatar of him and Baines

LOL

That's a good call actually, and a good sign of just how drunk with hatred a lot of folks are.

We copped an absolute bumming from old mate Clattenburg and pretty much nobody cares. Really makes you sit up and take stock of your life. I'm not sure we're going to make it out of 2016 alive.

If only it were that simple we could club together and get Max & Paddy to take Clattenburg out with their broomhandle mauser, that's what's been holding us back, that one decision.

Is it? Seems fairly sensible that when you have fit international midfielders in your squad you use them before playing a midfielder who is not fully fit and thus prone to reinjury. It then also seems sensible that if that player gets injured to replace them with one of your fit international midfielders rather than a player you are resting to avoid playing 2 games in 3 days and getting injured which is what happened.

But where are you getting this "McCarthy is not fully fit" from? The reinjury? The same injury that hadn't shown up in any scans/assessments prior to the game? That McCarthy had seemingly recovered from?
He was short of match fitness, yes, but he wouldn't have played hadn't he been passed fit, an examination of which includes asking the player himself.

Sure it's a reinjury, but that could happen to anyone. He was rusty and the only remedy for that is him being on the pitch and building the match sharpness.

As for Cleverley, he offers a vibrancy and goal scoring threat that neither Gibson, Besic nor Osman offer. It was another risk which partly paid off (assist to Rom) but also saw the realisation of the worry RM obviously had... 2 games, 2 days = injury.

Would you seriously have brought on Gibson, Besic or Osman at that point rather than Cleverly? Seriously?

You're in, bring your boots on Sunday we need a bit of snide in midfield. May I call you Gaff?

 

[chicoazul]

That's right.

I have Americans calling me a Geordie

Crying at this. Sozza man, they insult the ones they love the most on here.

I've got nothing left. I've tried to be as inciteful as possible but have mostly been buzzed at.

Maybe my time is up bra.

You can lead the forum to a brave new world though X

You're right feller, far more sensible to crock McCarthy and Cleverley than give a single minute to Besic, Gibson or Osman.

 

[ianefc]

Come on Ian, you're better than that, than avoiding the battle.

It's not a battle if anything anyone says, that he doesn't agree with, is met with the same response.

That's called dealing with a Mentalist.

Not for me.

I still don't know how Doug operates both devices at the same time so quickly.
