Roberto Martinez discussion

[By god I'm blue]

Oh here we go but leicester are a one season wonder you bad hypocrite

Martinez is most definitely at this point a one season wonder. He is approaching 2 full seasons of mid table mediocrity.

That would be the same bad refereeing that gave us a point at the Etihad and a win at Goodison in the league cup

I'll take all the points denied over those we've been gifted any day. How about you?

That tweet tells me one thing: buffoons love their own company.

Do others feel the need for him to win at least 9 games in the second half of the season should be the thing his job hangs on?

Got to start winning mate, but for me his job isn't on the line if he doesn't win at least 9 of the remaining games.

 

[davek]

Yep.

It's great.

Doesn't achieve much when we're defensively awry, sadly.

I'd like a balance. Wouldn't you?

We have a balance:

54 goals scored in 27 games
Three points off 7th place trophy
One step from Wembley

....yep.

That'll do.

Dave, does that not apply to the consideration that RM's failing to address the same things here that he failed to address at WIGAN, with a vastly superior squad of players at his disposal too?

As you say, often mate, it's all about building.

And learning.

Wigan? WTF have they got to do with us.

Lol.

 

[bizzaro]

Is that why he's been in the press saying he's fit, and saying he may leave, for the last 2 months, all because he's not fully fit?

The fact is Martinez has preferred Kone over him.

Yes. He's wanting to play but he's not actually fit. Groin problem.

 

[davek]

Sound, i'll take that as your surrender.

Pushover.

No, take that as a suggestion to get down to ladbrokes.

Now you know you don't have a bet with me there's no reason you can't put your money where your mouth is yourself, is there?

Post your betting slip up mate. Remember the bet: £100 on the nose Leicester to make top 4 2015/16.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Yes. He's wanting to play but he's not actually fit. Groin problem.

And I can show you quotes this season of Martinez saying he's 100% fit, but he's still been injured?

Go on then.

We need to win 2 games in a row first, and then build from that. Under Moyes we used to go on horrendous runs and then great runs. Bobby has stopped that, but we just don't win enough. Hopefully we are clear of relegation with 6 or 7 games to go (I know that sounds ridiculous but you have to be pragmatic) and we can try and get some confidence and balance for next season.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Wigan? WTF have they got to do with us.

Lol.

About as much as the 1st season's got to do with now really.

 

[davek]

How when he offers goals Aswell? Don't get it

Will you get it if I told you that Kone has scored us 6 goals and 4 assists? But none of us think he's really the answer either do we?

 

[By god I'm blue]

Got to start winning mate, but for me his job isn't on the line if he doesn't win at least 9 of the remaining games.

So just a question, do you not think he should be given a target by his bosses?

I feel some are living in denial on here and he is getting grace for some reason. Another manager with such a low win rate would be getting slaughtered.

People are using pointless issues to cloud facts.

The one outstanding and undoubtably truthful statistic is, we don't win many games with him as manager.
