Roberto Martinez discussion

[EverBlue86]

I fear he's coached our CB'S into pee poor defending, either that or both arnt good enough

 

[kithnou]

No one should knee jerk after that nightmare. He is a top quality manager (with a piss poor CB unit).

I think Bobby will be the one who brings us a domestic trophy. I can see him doing it this season too.

This season? Which trophy would that be?

LC or FA Cup.

We have the quality in spades. We just need a swift and positive purchase of a CB and with a fair wind draw wise we can win a cup this season.

 

[EverBlue86]

I also worry that he hasn't addressed our CM position, he doesn't seem to trust besic to come on and make an impact for a tiring barry/Mccarthy and seems to want to wrap gibson in cotton wool as he hasn't had any football either.

 

[Kantareller]

With defending like that, I can't see us winning a title anytime soon. Sort it out, I don't care how, just bloody sort it out!

is right

Is there any evidence that the fella can make a team a stronger outfit at the back?

Because on current performances we are going backwards at an alarming rate

 

[GreenTeddy]

Wigan performance today. It really looked like it

Goals conceded record last season suggests the answer is yes.

These two CBs though: he's exercised poor judgment keeping them together for this season.

 

[Dexter]

I don't think he's going to have the balls to drop our captain even if we do sign a cb

For those playing revisionist time about the defence all being down to Moyes last year and Martinez is regressing us to Wiganesquee levels, a simple reminder that Moyes had these days - and worse ones too

One season does not make a career though lid

He needs to address this problem fast before it sets in like dry rot

He needs to be bold and - captain or no captain - [Poor language removed] him right off.

I don't remember our defence being this weak and open under Moyes

May be wrong like as I have a memory like a gold fish

I don't ever remember our defence ever being that weak and open under Moyes

The honeymoon period is well and truly gone

Match going Blues won't take long to turn on him if that sort of tripe is served up
