Roberto Martinez discussion

[dholliday]

we should have won that 4 or 5-1, Martinez never missed them chances, the players did.

This excuse is cringeworthy bad. Who's responsible for the abysmal 2nd half showing? The players too? The game should just ditch managers altogether seen as they have no influence.

Good on you, you manage to laugh in the face of mediocrity.

I have been supportive of Martinez in the past, I am not a doom monger.

We are on the verge of something good, but we are also on the verge of seeing another opportunity wasted. It feels closer to the latter at the moment.

Nailed it.

Needs to drop starjumps though

 

[ijjysmith]

If we are to make top 6 you got to finish off team like Palace and Norwich. This isn't fine dude.

Could be worse.

3 draws against that dross is under performing however you put it. Surely its up to that manager that we're only turning up for 1 half a game and conceding from corners every game. We should've won all 3 of those games, we've got a paltry 3 points from them.

 

[quasi modo]

Yes they are, very much indeed and it's frustrating.

Cracking team we nearly have here though. That first half.

We're missing something though, a bit of snide I reckon.

We have a boss team and our play at times is great to watch, we just needs someone clinical to help Lukaku at times and even Naismith could come in and do Kone's job because it is just not working for him at the moment.

 

[chicoazul]

A lot of snide needed my friend.

I think that's what's missing mate but I can't put my finger on it.

Hopefully they find it soon.

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

He finished the second half with Cleverly, Barry and Gibson on the pitch.

and you'd have brought Naismith on instead of taking the midfield back from Norwich?

What were you expecting us to do without the ball?

 

[cronullasharks]

Clear your schedule @davek. Gonna be a busy few days

 

[ianefc]

You'd rather we lost more ?

Palace have lost twice as many as us yet if they win this weekend they will be 3 points clear of us.

 

[hktoffee]

Could be worse.

I think it's nothing wrong to set a good target like 6th than something like 12th. This is getting wrong as we throw away three wins. What's wrong with these half time talks?

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Everton, that.

Well I didn't see Martinez stepping beyond the white chalk on the football pitch so yeah.
Where criticism is fair is the poor defending of set pieces, that comes down to what we do on the training pitch.
Otherwise Martinez hasn't done anything wrong today, if anything should be applauded for some of the fantastic attacking football we played first half.

Norwich we're never going to be as bad as they were in the 1st half, they were booed off at home so had to come out and show some pride and fight.

We should have had the match won at half time, no denying that.
