Roberto Martinez discussion

[kenada_blue]

He never would have had this team, too negative.

But we wouldn't be in this position.

 

[DualityNSNO]

to the people saying the moyes shouts are this/that, do you any of you think he'd have finished 11th last year with that team and 12th so far this season with this one?

Nah I'd say 8th or so, but we'd be doing better at home this year for sure. Also he won't have had that team and wouldn't have gotten 70+ points that first year as well.

Winning a trophy is the only result that really matters and we're on the cusp of it. Perfectly willing to review my stance at the end of the season, but a combination of bad luck and individual errors are hurting us, we'll iron it out I'm sure.

On the cusp of a cup final in Wembley? We certainly wouldn't.

If he doesn't win a cup, he'll go in the summer and he should. Simple as. Better squad then last year and yet we're in the same position in the league. A couple more poor results (and how are people currently feeling about the derby?) and we'll be flirting with relegation again. I have been a Martinez supporter but My patience is not infinite. Many here like me called to give him another season. Well he's half way through and the signs are not great, are they? But hey: a win on Wednesday and things might feel a little better.

What?

 

[Shagster]

29% league win ratio over last 61 games.

29% win ratio in time at Wigan.

Wow thank you. If accurate a very telling stat

 

[The Esk]

I feel that was a valid question though? Davek involved in it because he's alright with it an all...

Playing the ref, I know, I shouldn't, but I also want to know the answer to the question lol

It's not valid when the objective is to continue the discussion about posters rather than the manager.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Surprised there's no polls today yet.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Think they all had an eye on wednesday.

Im not solely blaming Howard.

Barry without McCarthy / Besic next to him is useless.....we need another CM in there signed. Felt sorry for cleverleu alongside Barry today.

No left wing threat....need another deulofeu


next summer prices will rise again with the TV money....he HAS to make at least one big signing and HAS to drop howard.

sorry but got to disagree, barry is head and shoulders above the rets of our centre mids this season, he's always available for a pass, constantly getting us out of trouble and at times today was one of our best attacking threats

 

[Zatara]

Hes clearly got a nucleus of players who he feels he can coach as they gsin experience into playing his style and get us challenging again.

I think hes misjudged the time he has to develop the squad...

sacrificing short term results for long term strategy.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Lauran Blanc as manager maybe? I think now if we were in the semi on wed he would be sacked

 

[Shagster]

Please just sack him

I think some of the players want him gone

 

[ToffeeTim]

It's not valid when the objective is to continue the discussion about posters rather than the manager.

Dave has riled a few today in fairness. He effectively labelled anyone questioning the manager 'clueless'. So 95% of the fanbase effectively. A tiresome act these days.

Roberto Martinez "We haven't found the right way of playing at home". What? It's your third year here with practically the same team and you still haven't found a way?
