Roberto Martinez discussion

[Mickey]

If we keep him how is he going to get us defending better?. It's not evident he has that in his locker at the minute so how is he going to get these wins that will bring us up the table?.

I'm just saying, would Roberto be where is now without Barks, that's the question.

What about Big Rom Browns?

Rom's good but he's not the perfect player. I think you have to acknowledge that a large chunk of Roberto's managerial genius and the reason we've managed to score 50+ goals already is simply due to his recognition that Barks was a nice player.

What about Gaz Baz Browns?

I disagree with that for one simple reason: it is almost completely comprised of internationals in almost every position. There was talk of bringing Barry back into the England squad, same with Lennon. Mirallas and Lukaku are on the Belgium team(the #1 team in the world), McCarthy is one, Barkley/Jags/Baines, Funes Mori with Argentina. This is a team that is massively underperforming. I do not think you can really look at it any other way.

Yes the team is underperforming. The team. Players and manager included.

That's why RM gets until the end of the season, IMO.

He's capable of outplaying pretty much every team in the league and is a young manager. You could say he can learn new skills. You could say he never will.

Only time will tell.

That's the nub of it for me. Some of the games I've been to this season (mainly away) we've played some amazing stuff. Stoke, just the other week, was about as perfect an away performance as you can get. The issue to me are the home results, which is where most people get to see us. I say results because we've had some decent performances at home, but just not got what we've deserved on occasions. Palace was a perfect example of this. We basically played them off the park that night, but end up with a draw.
I was as angry as I've ever been after Saturday. We have a 3 hour drive back after the game and I was still livid when I got home. Still wound up yesterday. Today I'm back to being confused again. We didn't get what we deserved on Saturday - and that's a large part of what gets me wound up. Same thing in our last home game against West Brom. It may be that it's all due to a fundamental flaw in the Martinez character, it may be that our luck may change and we'll start getting the results our overall football should be getting. Still on the fence me.

If we beat Chelsea..

Im guessing there will be loads of spares for Wembley lads.

Stick here, another year, if the philosphey doesn't bite after year 4, then questions are justified.

Move out Hibbert, Osman, Pienaar, Howard, and I'd go with that I reckon.

I want him to succeed so much.. Sake.

Swansea and WBA came with a game plan to beat us and it worked. They deserved their wins. Did Ali not deserve to beat Foreman cause he rope-a-doped?.

Forgot about Kone and Gibson

Forgot about Kone and Gibson

I'm taking them as Shay Givens mate ?

No way they start next season for us.

 

[Carlito]

Where do people expect him to rock up next, should he find himself out of work in the near future?

There are a few big names in Spain and Germany that have been refusing to accept the inevitability of relegation for a while now. I could see him taking down Stuttgart, and then maybe someone like Real Betis, before settling into his ideal role as Europe's top Herbal Life salesman.

Just got a feeling he wins the cup, spends loads of new dosh and makes us boss again here.

Absolutely no reason for this belief, but I reckon were due.
