Bring back Dave......

No

He behaved like a spoilt tit so he got thread banned. It expires in a few hours anyway so he can pen his responses now and paste them in when it expires.

 

[JonS]

That leaves.....LOUIS VAN GAAL

Would you take him?

I would undoubtedly take him over Martinez right now

 

[orly]

if you think about it its quite an achievement by martinez to turn this group of players into his wigan team. well done roberto, amazing work.

We even went 3-5-4 to help us acclimatise

POST WHEN WE'RE LOSING, POST WHEN WE'RE LOSINGGGG

YOU ONLY POST WHEN WE'RE LOSINGGGGG

I know you like martinez (just like me) just for fun, if he was to be replaced who would you see as being such a massive upgrade that you would be happy we sacked him?

I cant really think of anyone...gettable.

But mate thats how he wants to play. Thats what the players have bought into....thats what the fans want.

If its successful. Now its not but given the summer i think next season it will be.

I predicted 8th this season so am not going nuclear as i expected this type of season...heck we could have been in the league cup final but for a dodgy ref....we could be miles up the league but for howard....and we could still win the fa cup.

id written this season off and was thinking of next season when he can shift out alot of players and bring in the quality we need to take a run at top 4.

hes made big mistakes like howard but hes also been very unlucky....

Losing so many games at home is not down to poor luck.
Conceding more goals at home than even the worst in the league is not down to poor luck.
It's down to pi55 poor management.
He's too stubborn and rigid with sticking blindly to his philosophy.
Sure we all want to see the footie of the first 70 minutes, but we also want to see wins and right now, I would not put money on when we'll get our next win.

It'll take him a few hours to get through all the tags first !

I wouldnt. But i would have him as director of football for a couple of seasons to help Martinez.

It just seems there always a reason why we should give him more time. We are in the FA Cup quarter final. Great. But that's as far as it goes.

I think Villa should have asked serious questions after last years FA Cup final because they were heading for disaster.

I will be made up if we win the FA Cup. But I can't see him improving upon our weaknesses. If we win the cup, will we learn to defend next season, become consistent, have good home form, challenge for the top four? I don't think so. Obviously you see something in the team that makes you think he will address his frailties.

But saying "he might win the fa cup" doesn't cut the mustard for me.

No, I genuinely am on the fence on this. Winning or losing the FA Cup hasn't happened though, so I find it hard to pin that failure on him as it hasn't transpired yet.

You raise good points about the following season regarding things being fixed though.

 

[Elong]

You stick at it mate, I don't believe we have a team under Martinez that can win anything but I do believe that we will part company with him at the end of the year and we will get a team who will give you success.

If he's sacked and we find a better manager who succeeds with us that'd be fantastic, I support Everton not Martinez at the end of the day.

 

[Zatara]

Doesn't answer the question of why weren't Browning or Galloway on the bench if Baines and Barry were not well/fit enough to play anything other than two minutes.

I can half answer that, because Browning is out for the season. Also i suppose Martinez started with 3 CBs and due to mirallas being mirallas we lost one.

Where were you all before 3pm?
