Been a bad patch. Still some good performances in europe but yeah a bad patch.

I just would have hoped that gfiven how good we were last year, people woulkd give him more than 15 league games before writing him off.

I remember when this kind of start happened every year and we still stuck with Moyes. And Moyes never had us playing as well as we did last year.

What's funny about it is it's a direct consequence of how he had us playing last year...comical.

Maybe the players he has aren't good enough to play the way he wants the game to be played, Maybe he should look at the players and adapt his tactics to fit the squad

To be honest think thats half the problem, you can see when stones and to a lesser extent alcaraz play how much better we play, they bring the ball out, play passes forward to feet, position themselves to receive the ball so we dont loose momentum.

Plus colemans been poor and baines has been shocking.

Worth pointing out that I'm no Martinez fanboy either.

I don't think he's being helped out by players being poor but there's only so much i, or anyone can take.

But as we both say, he won't be sacked so I can't be arsed banging on about it.

We effect nothing mate, but we will all still talk, I just want a run of wins as we all do, 2 wins on the bounce would be nice (league games) and I cant remember when that happened last
 

He's making some odd decisions for me.

He's also relying too much on Eto'o who is only gonna be good half the time and better as a striker.

he's fine mun. he's made some baffling decisions and a fair few wrong ones this season, but life has been far from plain sailing. we have had a horrific injurly list. it's all very well saying players shouldn't be picked, but he is being forced to pick the team most of the time and having to pick players nowhere near full fitness and is possibly the reason for poor form.

he's been badly let down by that diamond of howard, jagielka, distin and barry. they're the 4 experienced players in our starting XI, all 4 were excellent last season. in the majority of games this season we have been the better team, but 1 sillt mistake from one of these seems to ruin it and cost us points. he can't really be blamed nor legislate for that.

I disagree, he watches them in training and decided this summer to not replace any of them. It is on him if they're past it and he didn't spot it in time.
