Roberto Martinez discussion

[kenada_blue]

Nothing wrong with the tactics or starting selection. Both were fine, and the performance was OK too - we just got done by the better team.

Stop being kneejerk idiots and criticise Martinez when it is valid to do so instead of for absolutely everything.

He got the subs wrong today - have a go at him for that if you want.

This.

Don't change a winning side. He didn't. We competed and rode a storm 1st half.

2nd half just showed them to be title favourites....even if their 1st goal was very lucky.

Cleverley played well does not deserve to be bracketed with the has been tripe like Howard and Barry.

Barry hasn't put a foot wrong this season, so.....

The injury of Galloway was the turning point. What happen to Oviedo?

Must not be fit...not even on the bench.

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

Give him till The halfway point.

Dunno, but the LB situation is a crisis now. I half expect to see Barry slotting in their from the off.

He only has a year left in his contract and not signing a new one. I hope we ain't selling him.

Like anyone would buy him.

We got beat today but I'm already liking what i'm seeing compared to last season. We got beat by one of the favorites for the title no shame there

Barry is slow but a safer bet than Browning at LB surely. Unless we consider Funes Mori at LB...

Can we recall Garbutt after he overcomes his injury?

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

Where's ovedi

Spot on.

I'm more arsed about these incoming players than that today. Nothing drastically wrong with our season so far apart from getting out of the blocks slowly in the first 45 minutes against Watford.

He could go and loan a proper left back maybe.
It is a crisis now and i hope he does not bury his head in the sand regarding the problem

We have Oviedo and players out injured who will come back in. I can't see any transfer activity to plug a short term possible gap.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

barry played well too.

Verdicts have been passed down, irrespective of each and every game certain players have been judged as crap. Cleverley was labeled as crap before he came and will always be in some people's eyes, Barry had a rough patch last season and will forever carry that monica, Naismith and Osman before them and so on.

In short people love a scapegoat and are so blinkered regardless if ability and form.
