Maybe in terms of playing ability.

But what does their playing ability (or lack of) have to do with their coaching ability?

Very little.

I did mean playing ability for the record.

Mourinho was sh!te.

Mourinho was sh!te.

Oh.

What were you judging them as crap on then?

Not that i'm actually disagreeing, just wondering.

 

[evertony]

Bloody hell.

We have an awful lot of crap in the back room!

Think you'll find a lot of coaches etc have very limited playing careers. Have a look at Mourinho, Ferguson, Van Gaal, Wenger, Bodgers, etc

 

[Shagster]

Even when we've has others playing the system isn't working. Teams backed off us last year and allowed our midfield and defence far to much time to dictate play; they're pressing us this year.

Look at the build up to hulls penalty appeal to see what I mean; pressing us because they know what we are going to do

For most of the season the formation has been 4-2-3-1 which is designed as a counter attacking system - where you are quite happy for the other team to have a lot of the ball and the defensive line should be deeper. Martinez philosophy is possession at all costs - this is counter intuitive and is probably the reason why other teams counter it with ease.

Wenger?

Any present prem manager could get more out of the squad than Martinez is doing. I don't see that fact changing.

 

[BaselBrush]

Paco Jemez.
Anyone who watched Rayo Vallecano just knows they are boss.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Better than RM - he just needs good players.

He plays like RM but has a better defence

Buahahahaa

 

[raib]

Buahahahaa

We have better players but they perform poorly against Man City and Chelsea, while his sunderland team do better against Man City and Chelsea than we do. RM is on borrowed time.

Nah, he will be here long time

Yes, in much the same way that RM got much more out of pretty much the same squad last season. Do you think any current premier managers could have got more out of the squad last season?

 

[WA Toffee]

Quick check, just out of curiosity - remember all those people who were saying they would rather miss out on the Europa cup because it may impact our league form? How many of those are the same people now saying they want Martinez sacked because we are in a poor run of form?
