Roberto Martinez discussion

[ilikecheese]

I watched him at HT, he couldnt control a single ball and every pass went all over the place, wasnt a good sign.

That first touch was worse that Rom's.

 

[Goat]

It was 1-0 - well within reach (if that divvy Howard hadn't doubled their lead). You just dont go throwing on the kitchen sink against a team like that capable of hitting hard on the break.

Your right I suppose, I mean, your 1-0 down, surely the best option is to replace a Striker who has played left wing all game, with another striker and stick him left wing.

I mean its always better to keep the wingers on the bench and bring them on with 2 minutes left when your 2-0 down, the mans an actual footballing genius.

 

[Goat]

No offense mate but you're talking brown. The Clev is not a DM.

Of course hes a DM.

 

[ilikecheese]

Of course hes a DM.

Can he play there? Sure.

But he hasn't played there for us.

 

[Dexter]

Yeah I know Mirallas and Deulofeu are so disciplined defensively and would have locked down their threat on our left wouldn't they..

Yes Mr Moyes

 

[Goat]

Can he play there? Sure.

But he hasn't played there for us.

No idea where he played today, not sure where anybody played, it was an utter joke of a team shape.

 

[Allezfan]

He does have an awful record against city. Which, they're a good team, but they do just roll us over these days.

Under Moyes we got nothing from utd and always beat city, under martinez we get nothing from city and have a great record against utd.

And both are crap in derbies.

Funny old game, really.

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

He sadly has the tactical nous of a strangled cat.

Everton 3-0 Arsenal
Everton 3-0 Southampton
Wigan 2-1 Arsenal
Wigan 4-0 Newcastle United
Wigan 1-0 Manchester United
Wigan 1-0 Manchester City
Everton 2-0 Manchester United
Everton 1-0 Chelsea

All tremendous tactical victories against more fancied sides. He sprung tactical surprises in all those games as well and played a different style of football in each.

He's been a manager for 8 years. Beating a good team once a year isn't the record you think it is.

All of those victories have been in the last four years. One of those victories has been in an FA Cup Final against a side 100x better than his. His tactical nous isn't to be questioned, the lack of investment from the board should be.

I'm willing to question both.

Technical question: Is there a way I can put this thread on ignore?

If you ignore the first poster does it all disappear?

I think if you ignore fat stan you won't see any thread he started,

Respected???

1-0 down at home and we have 3 DMs on the pitch.

Respected by morons prolly.

Remember that we should be happy finishing 11th... And if you want to be able to try and beat the big teams then that is just plotter talk...
