Roberto Martinez discussion

[helpimonfire]

When is Jose joining us?

 

[Titus Bramble]

Could be a lengthy corner. Seen our January fixtures?

Our next 2 games are Newcastle and Stoke

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

We can beat Newcastle and Stoke to be fair

Neither will be walk overs, but we have the players to do it

Spurs will destroy us with our current defensive frailties though

 

[Titus Bramble]

Because they are very beatable and we gifted them 3 goals, they barely had a shot on goal until we were chasing the game.

So beatable they've only lost 1 this season

No need to have a go at Duffy like that just because you don't like Super Kev

I wasn't having a go at Duffy. Frankly, I think he might be a better option than that absolute banana beside Stones. I hope Kev is turning it on in training and trying to play his way into the side like a pro. If he doesn't make the squad, I trust Martinez' judgement.

well yes, if we are now then we will see the difference in the coming weeks. martinez has a quote knocking about on not needing to from whoever he said it and it has been one of our weaknesses this season. your man representing the other team on here said before a ball was kicked they aren't a set piece team so we didn't see this training in effect.

I'm not knee jerking like my first point made, we are improving but it's the same weakness that we do need to work on and drill into our game. It's great that we are now working on it, but we would have been better off league wise 4 weeks ago if we had then.

my man? I'm not sure what you're talking about tbh. All i was doing was responding to your post saying we don't work on them so posted quotes from baines saying they were working on them in training recently. that's it

Word if warning, be careful he will vault you on sonething you said about Joel Robles to prove you're wrong about Martinsz because the sheep will throw a like his way.

tbh mate I like to think of myself as standing by my opinion. I'm not knee jerking about today because they have beat quite a few teams this year, fair enough on that.

I would have saw martinez leave last March because we were awful, now I have reserved judgment and I can see positives and changes made for the better. But when the same types of goals go in from the same areas costing us points then it's hardly claiming to be a genius to say we need to work on them! or am I going mad?

haha I never meant your man, it's a turn of phrase, the irish say it a lot.

y'man is probably a better way of spelling it.

just referring to someone else lol

So you think you know more than the manager?

I'm sitting on the fence on this one. The potential is there for all to see, but I don't have a crystal ball so can't see which way it's going to go.

It was Martinez's judgment to freeze out Shane in favour of broken down never was Alcaraz, so forgive me for not sharing your belief in his infallibility

Fortunately I know a man who does have a crystal ball.

I forgive you Mikey.

If we can't beat norwich and bournemouth mikey any win will be hard.
If we defend like we have been doing and play howard we will be in trouble

If only we could get him just untill the end of the season i am sure we would end up with a trophy and european places in the league
