Roberto Martinez discussion

[Baines' left foot]

The team thats top of the league, not a single world class player in their entire squad, we have 5 of them, we are 11th.

Ranieri in!

Dave, if we go and win 9 or 10 from the next 16 I'll be the happiest guy on here. The stats suggest otherwise as we have won 6 from 22.

We need 31 from 48 points left to get to the expectation I had.

As said...we'll see.

 

[DualityNSNO]

The best teams dont have tim coward and no left winger...and a dozen players who need punting though.

once we have the squad build then this style will be great.

While true, we started with 2 wingers today.

 

[Dexter]

Apparently not as we're back to being dreadful defensively.

Didn't take long did it.

 

[davek]

They're top of the league

...and going in the wrong direction.

The point stands: they wont get a CL spot.

Not at all.

 

[DanEFC92]

We let in a deflected shot and suffer a blatant offside goal?

It's extra training tomorrow then.

Funny you didn't mention that all important first goal. Deflected goal - not closing down quick enough, far too easy.

...and going in the wrong direction.

Not at all.

How can you be top of the league and go in the wrong direction?

Deeloodid

What, they've won more than 6 points from 6 games?

No, mate. I can tell you with some certainty that is the case. If you think that form will get them top 4 then go the bookies and fill your boots.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Not at all.

They were 3rd 2 hours ago and now top

I think you need to reassess your directional sense

I know, I was factoring in draws too. Won't happen unless we suddenly decide to practice defending or sack coco the clown in goal.

We have the ability to do it, but I don't see why we will suddenly start to defend better than the under 12 side.

 

[kenada_blue]

They're top of the league

Exactly.

If Leicester are on the slide...WTF are we doing? Nose diving?

I still wouldn't mind being sat there mid january top of the table. It probably feels all right I'd say.

 

[davek]

How can you be top of the league and go in the wrong direction?

Because City and Arsenal are above them now and weren't before...?

Yeah, thats defo how it works.

I really want to agree with you Dave, but our form is even worse, so what's to suggest we will ever catch up in your opinion?

 

[davek]

Exactly.

If Leicester are on the slide...WTF are we doing? Nose diving?

We have 6 points from the last 6 too...but that makes them in good form for the CL?

Great, I'll take that optimistic view. What's good for them is good for us...and we just played Spurs, City and Chelsea.
