Roberto Martinez Straw Poll

[Dymak]

I have watched most games this season although we are not playing great at the moment we are not that bad either every time we make a mistake at the back we are getting punished for it there is nothing the manager can do about that constantly chasing games is not helping the situation lot of player out injured so it's not as though he can turn to the bench
once we get some players back and our luck will eventually even out we will be back up there

I'm sorry but there is, he can tell his defenders to stop poncing around with the ball in dangerous situations, and to make clearing the ball away from danger more of a priority.

Do you trust our Manager to change our form around and get is back on track this season?

I trust Martinez. Not sure I trust the players who are actually responsible for carrying out the performances on the pitch, however. I'm pretty sure RM isn't the one telling them to fall asleep defensively and mistrap the ball on half their passes.

I don't think you read what i typed at all. I said the thread was silly but then suggested any dismissal of negative comments towards martinez shouldn't be branded as knee jerk, because they're not.

Football doesn't live in the past mate it lives in the here and now, and the here and now isn't too pretty no matter what he did last season.

THIS season he has been terrible. In every aspect.

The only posts saying knee jerk in this thread are talking about the poll, and for me they're spot on.

Saying the season has been terrible in every aspect is a bit melodramatic. We're in commanding position in our Europa group and that was always our clearest path to CL footy. The season is far from lost.

Mid-table then.

How the f is 5th equal to mid table in a group of 20?

It isn't melodramatic at all. We've turned in ONE performance all season, against wolfsberg. He and we have been awful, you can keep trying to take fake positives out of it but there isn't any. He messed up pre season he messed up with bulking the squad and he's messing up constantly.

Deserves time but is not the god some think he is.
Needs to get strong and manage

I desperately want him to succeed. But the fact is we have been rubbish so far this season.
100% though I do want that picture binned off the stadium. Cringe every time I think of it.
I also think the new badge is unlucky (I am supersticious like that).

I always hate that,when you hear other fans or the odd paper/tv etc,say we ended mid table,when we got 5th,6th or even 7th for example

We played very well against Arsenal and West Brom

We're just going to have to agree to disagree.

we did not play well against west brom at all.

We played okay against arsenal then lost the performance.

Wolfsburg had 27 shots though. I thought the performance at West Brom was better. Fact is we havn't played with any of last seasons swagger, just the odd glimpses which are then masked over by some turgid school boy error in almost every game.

I'm suspicious of Tim Howard.
