Roberto Martinez discussion

[banno]

Jela is finding the net again...good on him...would I want him back? No because he will hit a barren spell again and that isn't good enough for us.

I disagree, hence me questioning his decision to not buy a striker or creative midfielder.

Thats my only issue.

Can't do much if Kenwright has spent the kitty at the casino

same, nothing wrong with traore signing if he wasn't injured.

but he was.

we desperately needed that attacking centre mid type as well, and sadly for us barkley's gone off the boil since his latest injury. osman has picked up last few games and naismith has hit some form, but still. when lukaku got injured, we ideally needed 1 more striker.

really hope he's back for west ham - really need him back and good.

This lack of a scoring striker thing will continue to haunt us until its sorted. Its harder because you just know what's ultimately coming when we start schooling teams with our sweet soccer.

we'd be absolutely boss if we had a great goalscorer - we really would, be touching top 3 you'd think.

 

[kenada_blue]

He's nailed it by saying the gap between deserving a victory and getting the victory is there and it's what we need to work on.

Still a work in progress.

We'd have grinded out a result under Moyes. The difference being now is that we'll actually try and play for a result.

Fair dos to Jose there in BBC interview conceding we controlled the game and they found it hard because they over-pressed to get it back off us. Also said they managed then to read the situation late on and gain control.

I'm fairly convinced that, for some reason, he doesn't mind us.

Because he usually beats us and we're not seen as a threat.

Nope...

 

[toffeejack]

few weeks back he said we were in the title race.

 

[polish]

We have a relatively easy three games now. I have no doubts we can win against Palace, WHU and Newcastle without Cabaye.

We will bounce back immediately, keep your heads up

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Our main problem is that we're seemingly incapable of being consistent over an entire season. It's been this way for years.

It's not Martinez's fault though, and it wasn't really Moyes's either, we've just never had the finances to fill out the squad with several more quality players that the top teams can afford to rotate and freshen up. We've never really had a consistent striker either which, if you want to be competing at the top, is an absolute must.

 

[Eggs]

.....not sure why there's a drastic inquisition after every game.

 

[Nobody]

Today we played with confidence and had better spells of possession, how many team do that at Chelsea? I can only see good things to come. We are always bein punished though and we have to stop that from
Happening.

Did we switch off again on the set piece?

Our defence was super tight today and deserves a lot of plaudits.

Agree with this, thought we played well today and matched chelsea, played with confidence and we were unlucky to lose.
