Roberto Martinez discussion

[hallamblue]

Genuinely god help him and the players if we do go out to Carlisle on Sunday (they must be chomping at the bit to get at us), I can't even begin to imagine how nasty the atmosphere could get next week against Newcastle.

If we go out of the cup on Sunday and don't pick up the 3 points against Newcastle then I can only imagine his time would be just about up?

Honestly I won't be sad if/when he goes, I really was hoping last season was just a blip but the pace we seem to be regressing with the talent we have is criminal. No idea who a sensible replacement could be though.

We need a manager who can play players in their best positions and coach a defence to do the simple things. Surely there are some of them about?

The sooner he takes over at Barcelona the better....
What a difference 18 months can make

He's got Carlisle to redeem himself.

The knives are being sharpened like.

Is that how easily you'll be convinced?

Newcastle is the one, they win were in a potential relegation battle.

 

[bring the ghost on]

Is that right?

110 goals in two and a half seasons?

If so, bye

Since the start of last season mate, in all competition. Appalling.

Any manager coming here would see that with a couple of additions and defensive management we can be challenging top 4! Martinez has had too long! Imho

 

[diggerdestroyer]

This sounds ridiculous and he's an absolute weapon but I think Benitez could make a top 4 side out of our players (ducks and vomits all at the same time)

A belle nd but a much better manager than what we have now. But hit yourself for making us even think about it.

 

[bring the ghost on]

Mourinho said he ruined his Inter side.

Not that I want to defend Benitez, but Mourinho manages to leave his own sides in ruins without the help from the incumbent managers!

 

[jinkyali]

Change at the top is required.
Sacking the manager papers over the cracks.

 

[CynicalBlue]

He doesn't get angry enough for me, still points to beautiful football instead of letting them have it. He is passionate about the good parts of the game but not enough on the bad parts.

 

[longers]

behave

Id never want Rodgers in a million years but Martinez isn't exactly proving to be much better in terms of managing a side.

 

[hallamblue]

New owners and a new manager and we could go places. Last time we had an opportunity like this we came 4th in the league, and look how we pushed on then .

 

[diggerdestroyer]

He can organise a defence though.

Won a European cup with crap

 

[rochdaleblue]

Is that how easily you'll be convinced?

Newcastle is the one, they win were in a potential relegation battle.

Shelvey and Townsend to add impetus to their team. At the same time we soldier on with what we've got, with some players already dreaming of their 'dream' moves to champions league clubs.

 

[orly]

Ah I thought you were referring to Sherwood's time at Villa alone.

Chap, I'm not sure what's happening here but

Where's Davek at ? This thread won't reach its potential if he doesn't pop along soon.
