Roberto Martinez discussion

[The Equaliser]

An attempt at naming them:

Back row.....Barnett, West, Rankin

Middle row.....I can't remember the wee trainer's name, Hurdt, Royle, Labone, Kenyon, Brown, Kendall, Harry.

Front row....Whittle, Morrisey, Newton, Husband, Jackson, Wright, Ball, Harvey

Three of those lads went on to manage the club.

Wilf Dixon I think it was.

Roger Kenyon looks like should have been a Blue Peter presenter.

And I'm nearly sure Alan Whittle played in a 70s prog rock band.

Roger Kenyon was from Huyton a great local lad who stepped into Labone place in the championship 1970 run in and beyond a very good centre back.

Yes I remember him well, alas. Did well for us despite looking like Peter Purves twin brother.

God they battered us didn't they ?! They still had a very good side though.

I wonder if they played `assymetric ` shapes back then

We really should set up the same as arsenal do.

4-3-3 with just the one holding Midfielder, 2 actual proper wingers either side of a main striker, and attacking full backs!!

Would need another quality CM come summer but we have the players to suit it as much if not more than our current system.

I'd have McCarthy as the holding cm, then barkley and 1 other (new signing ideally as the other 2 midfielders. Would work better I'm sure. Especially for home games against lesser opp

We were atrocious, both our full backs were having mares.

Famous example of Ernie Hunt who took loads as a newly signed player and eventually turned to some guy on the terrace and shouted back, "What the f*** do you want for 30 grand? Pele?

lol lol lol

I do not think a lack of creativity has been an issue this season, although I do concede that were Steven Naismith injured, we might have concerns in this department. Apropos of this, it might be wise to buy an Arteta-like player who can learn from Naisy in the event of our Scottish Messi getting injured...or, even worse, being lured to the bright lights of Madrid or Barcelona

This is serious stuff. We need to be prepared for the disappointment of his transfer to the bright lights.
