Roberto Martinez discussion

[keverton]

Because he's good with the press he's gets away with a lot yet 5 wins in 17 given who we have played is pathetic. He is a manager who is incapable of managing teams to defend and therefore will take ks no where but backwards. Failed to win Norwich Bournemouth Palace Leicester. We are poor

Whilst I don't think giving him the boot is the answer he needs to get his head out of his backside, we've won 17 of the last 55 games (or something like that) for a supposedly great team apparently challenging for the top 4/6 that is woeful.

His stubbornness is incredibly irritating, something has to change, and quickly, otherwise last season is looking like the norm and not a blip.

The lack of change in the starting XI over the past few weeks tells you all you need to know.

He needed to show some balls and realise despite the fact we've played some good football it hasn't been good enough to win football matches.

Wouldn't get rid of him yet, but anyone who considers recent results to be good enough needs their head checking. Massively underperforming with the squad we have. It's a results, not a performances game ultimately.

Don't see how Martinez is to blame for today, defensive errors cost us nothing more.

We had this all the way through last year. Any manager who has ever been poor at his job could turn around and say it's the players making mistakes, nothing to do with me.

 

[MACCA75]

He's not the man I'm afraid.

Martinez sets up the team how he wants us to attack and how he wants us to defend. Martinez is to blame for not getting a new keeper in the summer.

 

[LocalNative]

just get out of the club now before you can do any further damage you disgrace

Get a grip you [Poor language removed] imbecile

He should definitely stay because sacking manager's should only be a last resort in desperate times but this needs to be assessed in the summer. If we find ourselves languishing in mid table then it shouldn't be an absolute given he leads us into next season.

 

[dublinbluenose]

This is the first time in his reign that I've genuine concerns, I dont think he is taking the team forward anymore. I hate saying it.

Picking howard and letting the same mistakes repeat game after game.
If it wasn't for rom we would be in the bottom 3 and with this great squad

 

[dannyboy]

How has Mirallas missed so much of the season for Kone?

 

[rochdaleblue]

So...any ideas for potential replacement candidates?

Karanka at boro. Knows how to set a team up to defend that's for sure or Eddie Howe. Either would be better then Martinez imo.

 

[Kankurette]

Howe's safe at Bournemouth, I doubt he's going anywhere.

Also, I wonder if this goal is going to convince Bob to start Mirallas oh who am I kidding.

 

[kenada_blue]

Well...I'm not enthusiastic if he gets to spend the Lukaku/Stones/Barkley money next season
