Should Martinez be sacked? (Post-Stoke poll)

[billy bluestar]

For me the only thing keeping him in a job is the Europa League results.

Like everyone else I can't see BK getting rid but if we lose to Newcastle ,Hull and West Ham ( entirely possible on current form ) his position may become untenable.

I desperately want to see him succeed but how much longer is it going to take before he realises that players must be played in their correct positions , Barry is not undropable , that there is a time when we need to be direct and when we pass we must move the ball quicker?

Gareth barry from what I have seen this season, has been awful.

Surprised he has not been dropped. May be give him the kick up the ass he needs.

For evidence of Jags being an absolute bottle job, see him know where to be seen when Costa winds up Coleman in the Chelsea match at home.
Jags just walks past him as if nothing happened.

maybe he was like "he will take care of him self"

Or he could act like the captain and leader and tell Costa to job on, much like Tim Howard had to.
Jags has for years been the biggest bottle job going; see the amount of times Suarez took the piss out of him big time, or any other Liverpool striker.

I cant name him ever coming out in a battle against a top class striker, ever.

ok. thats your opinion.

The players simply have to shoulder some of the blame for our crap form.

All to easy too blame the manager 100%.

Him and the ones on the pitch need to pull their socks up, P45's are a bit premature.

Right on Groucho, players need to stand up to the plate and be counted but RM does bear a measure of responsibilty for letting things get to this state. In some respects RM has brought criticism on himself with his team selections and subbing add to that giving contract extensions to some of those players who should be out the door. We are stuck with those players now until the new contract expires which means the club has to continue paying thousands in wages for a long time to come so that money is tied down and not available to new players.

Can you name one? Genuine question.

He used to pocket Torres every game v that lot, when Torres was decent as well.

no mate. i think he is classy captain.
i remember one period last season when i thought baines could be our captain, still think he could be. i have no problems with jags but if ot him then baines.

Jags has won one game in the league against them since being at the club.

Torres scored three goals in six games against Jags.

 

[Toffeelover]

I think his priority is the Europa, if he wins that - i'm going to resurrect a mountain of cat gifs in equal measures to the amount of ridicule aimed at him.

We're doing well enough in the Europa at the expense of league form, kind of like he did with Wigan, worrying in one sense - good in another, but what will make me worry is he totally discards league form for the Europa.

Worries me no end as well.

 

[stamullenblue]

No point blaming roberto , no luck and bad performances from players , Man City away robbed by poor decision , yesterday same , Sunderland same story , to name a few ! Players not performing - McCarthy big loss - get him back and Romelu to start scoring and we will be ok again. Keep the faith ,

 

[Robertor]

He's a victim of his own success last year, with at least 15 more games this year we were always going to be worse off but we're playing relegation standard football at the moment with a team that should be challenging for the top 4. Stinks of his last season at Wigan to me. Voted no and will never boo or actively protest against him but he's made some bizarre decisions from the moment last season ended. Didn't sign enough and the pre season was rubbish, but there's no way he's done enough to be wanted out by fans.

Torres scored three goals in six games against Jags.

Alright maybe not every game but he def put in some top performances v Torres when he was in his pomp, admitidly that was a few years ago now and he has been average to gash most of this season but he's not alone in that.

 

[stamullenblue]

Agree - need to look at team selection and position - also current form - needs a shake up and wake up call for the whole team

Eto as captain ffs. Like Naismith good start to the season and has been largely ineffective since.

Exactly. Eto'o seems to continually try to compensate for lack of pace/ waning ability by arguing and waving his hands at anything that moves
