Roberto Martinez discussion

[Whitty]

Great subs.

I like Browning but he isn't good enough on the ball. He doesn't look comfortable and doesn't seem to understand passing angles. This meant it was tough to get the ball to Del. Other players didn't want to give him the ball. Putting McCarthy back and bringing Gibson on made complete sense

He's winning me back around. Great mentality from them all tonight and that's credit to Martinez.

 

[Tigger]

He is in a great moment of his managerial career there is no doubt

 

[efcfanwirral]

Changed the game. Amazing tactical changes

 

[Merseyzig]

Roberto's suit. Maybe there has been discussion of it before but I love the tower stitched into the lapel. Nearly as impressive as his tactical changes.

 

[Lowste]

Glad he has learnt lessons from last season.

And great to see he still wants us to play attractive football

 

[Steverton]

We never showed even a hint of giving up tonight and I think that all stems back to the manager. Roberto has clearly instilled a great deal of confidence in our lads, which can be just as important as tactics - especially with a young squad.

 

[Connor]

Had his boss coat on again.

He was boss, again.

We're boss, again.

Love you Bobby, but stop speaking gobbledygook.

Deserves credit tonight for the great subs, possibly the only manager in world football who would look at Kone sitting on the bench and think "this is the man who will turn it around for us"

And then stick McCarthy in as right back....

Hey, if it works - it works!

Kind of get his claim. He thinks Rom is a "world class" (or elite) player and what distinguishes them is that they have a winning mentality. Not sure if I agree entirely about Rom, but would love if the whole lot of them turned out to have elite brains and we went on to win the league this year. Yay!!

 

[LAToffee]

But what does Fat Stan think? Can we have him back as a "guest thread commentator" to discuss the way his "954 and counting" thread has gone and what he thinks of the fact that it is always a lot more active when we lose?

His Subs change the game again. He's magic again this season

@Matt_Cheetham: Martinez's subs so often key in his 1st season, winning 11 PL points with goals from the bench. Won 0 last season; already 6 points in this.
