Roberto Martinez discussion

Who'll be sold for a profit.

But the team hasn't moved on.

because the core of it are 21 years old. They'll be sold for massive profits and we can then recruit and hopefully build a much much better squad.

he's making a massive mistake by sticking with howard and possibly his team talks and sub choices aren't great, but nobody can knock his transfer dealings. by looking at players like lukaku, eto'o, yarmolenko etc. he's clearly looking at the right calibre to move us forward to the next step. Sadly that's not going to happen this season though, he'd have my undoubted support given the money to spend though.

We are playing some great footie in patches and some awful footie in patches.
We make the same mistakes week after week and don't learn from them.
The manager is too scared to drop howard and only 5 wins all season with this squad is scary

And we are nearly halfway through the season.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Why are people claiming we lost to a poor side? They're 5 points clear at the top of the table ffs

 

[Deggo]

I've been tipped now and I now want him removed as soon as possible and take that kone with him

Last season I wanted him gone, the football was terrible, it isn't this year, i just think it needs to click.

I want attacking football, conceding goals is a part of that, giving stupid goals away and daft mistakes are not something you can coach on a training ground.

A balance needs to be found between definsive solidity and attacking prowess but if it was that easy we would all be Alex Ferguson wouldn't we.

We have a good squad and because of the way we are playing I'm extending my grace. I like how we are playing. You can't win em all like.

I don't understand the logic of this. When the team is playing good attacking football you give credit to the coach but then when we are poor defensively you say that was down to individual errors. Not making sense at all.

I think you have written the creepiest post of the week.
Be your own man let davek debate his one sided view himself

Haha, whatever. I agree with Dave, and I think it would be ridiculous to give Martinez the boot. If that makes me "creepy" then I don't give a crap.

Yeah but look how much our back 4 has been depleted this year. Stones might be the next messiah but he is still only 21 and learning his position, we are not infallible.

I have faith that it will click sooner or later. We were very good today, Leicester took their chances, I bet there isn't many Leicester fans who don't think they did a smash n grab today because they did. Good luck to them.

5 games in a row Kone picked to start and stunk the gaff out, been subbed 4 times I those 5 games as well.

But he'll start again next match you can bet your house on it.

There are no excuses, it's just badly managing a team by Martinez, and it's why Mirallas and Naismith will look to play elsewhere if an offer comes in for them in January.

don't reckon he'll start next game tbh, he's been getting worse every game lately, but 5 games ago he was bang in form and having a great season. would have been a tad knee'jerk to drop a player after one or two bad games.

i hope he's not starting the next game ha.

And we are nearly halfway through the season.

Don't worry the easy games start again soon i think city away is the first

 

[edge]

wish he would show some passion, beginning to wind me up

 

[orly]

You cant ignore finances though, or reality. Stones staying in the summer was a pyrrhic victory. He's getting off next summer, no question...and that's regardless of our season.

Fair enough if he does, we will get lots of dosh for him.

But in the short term the Funes Mori problem needs to be addressed, and quickly.

 

[BlueLlama]

I declare you all badly RAWK

 

[toffeejack]

anyone know why odds are suspended on howe being our next manager on PP? that was before today's match btw,

Gary monk or brendan rodgers?

Doesn't say that though does it. Read posts properly in context.

Who's fault are individual errors then mate?
