Roberto Martinez discussion

[ijjysmith]

Major problem with us now is that even when 1,2-0 up etc the opposition feels its still in the game even if were battering them as they know we can concede stupidly easy goals

We can indeed. But if we score the 98 chances we seem to be creating then it won't matter so much when the inevitable goal for them goes in.

Last 2 games we've lost points through 2 goals conceded from a corner. I think Martinez has to take responsibility.

Last two games we've missed oodles of chances too.

I think the crappy defenders need to stand up and take responsibility.

That is deffo a valid criticism. Thought he had sorted that last winter when it all went rubbish. Sure he will.

What more can he do? He had Ross covering the front post and they still managed to wrestle it in past him

We would have been over the hill and far away if Rom and Kone had buried a couple more of those chances that came their way in the first half.

Last season we weren't even creating chances...now THAT was a worry.

Need to get the balance right in this team. It's all very well playing open expansive football but there are times in a game where you need to take the sting out of it and we seem incapable of doing that. We must have known that Norwich were going to come at us after the break and if they scored it would hand the initiative to them but we appeared to just not react to the situation.

I think McCarthy back in the centre and Cleverley in front of Baines would make us a lot more solid, but I worry about the effect dropping Kone would have on the form of Lukaku

It's a good question to all these people saying the defence needs sorting at set pieces. What would they change?

I'm no defender so wouldn't have a clue.

practise defending them A LOT for a start mate, also does Rom actually come back for them?

Should Rom come back for them??
More than anything we need an out ball so it doesn't come straight back to us when it gets cleared up the pitch. Having at least one or two not coming back also reduces the numbers the opposition can commit forward.

Erm, get over it. Listen to the Prodigy and Public Enemy

Here's my message for RM.

How old are you, as surely over the years there have been worse

22.

For the way we threw it away, only Aston Villa sticks out as bad.

Best part of this thread today was when the fume merchants surged towards it before the game was even over and was repelled far too easy.

I was expecting something a lil mo fierce.
