Fans are worried what is wrong with that.
They are not going to come on here and say everything is great and the manager is the best in the world when he is managing well below the standard he set last year.
Its all about opinions and that's why we all use the forum but what surprises me is the hate and venom by some for knocking Martinez.

This is true.

After today I still can't criticize him though. Form is temporary and the season is two halves etc etc.

We always want to win but if we don't it's not because of any one thing. is it? It can't be. It's collective.

We're just not getting the rub of the green right now and it's frustrating. But what are you going to do? We win next week and it's all Cappuccinos and Cake.

Its been like this all season though,it actually started pre season.
If something is not working a manager changes it thats his job.
He is either too weak or does not know what to do

he cannot stop players making stupid mistakes to kill the confidence that the team are just starting to rebuild after a good goal. It is not as simplistic as you put it.
 

I don't want him out, but I'd like some acknowledgement from him that he's getting it wrong.

Seeing him positively try to to shine a turd every week is doing the morale no favours whatsoever.

I have to give credit to Rodgers in a way - he came out, said it as it is, and he's sent out his players to get rid of the fluent stuff and just battle.

That's all we needed to do tonight off the Spurs result - get at the opposition and fight. We didn't.
 
He is having an absolute mare this season with substitutes..... team shape constantly looks a mess when he brings them on.

I mean FFS who looks at the bench....sees Samuel Eto'o and goes nah, I'll bring on Aiden McGeady.

If they are making mistakes now and again thats human nature but when its happening so often there is a problem there that needs sorting.
We play so slowly and so much in our own half going backwards mistakes will happen,we should be playing a lot more around our opponents penalty box

Team shape's disintegrated from last season pre and post subs. It's like he spent the summer sniffing coke off the cracks of Colombian barbie dolls with Kevin Kilbane and has forgotten football.

Hello mate, always good to see you posting. Old skool.

Nah, I reckon this season is turning into a bit of a shitstorm but we'll get our act together when it's too late but finish top eight.

Based on him building a young squad and some sound things I seen last season I'd persist with him if the above happens. As annoying as it is like. I was expecting much better things this season.
