Roberto Martinez discussion

Flores has done a great job at watford and so has eddie howe with some really poor players

Yesterday I was having a discussion in a portuguese forum with some Premier League portuguese fans. Martinez has some level of support from people who like Swansea. They were standing by Martinez for his ideas and style of play. At some point I said that I don't like disposing a manager in the middle of the season, unless there is a horror movie ongoing, but at the end of season I would look at Howe and assess how he had done. I probably would sign him! At least he's one of us and he's showing signs of talent in management.

I know Flores from his time with Benfica. He's ok but not a great coach. He knows how to defend, though, and he seeks some level of balance which is something our team does not seem to show.
 
He showed at this time last season that he can change and adapt. When under massive pressure from players, fans and club insiders alike, he ditched the turgid one paced tiki taka bore fest, and got us playing a more varied style, which saw us become far more effective.

He's at another juncture now, as he needs to accept that his Achilles heel is his defensive coaching (or the lack of it). It's obvious that he needs help in that area and he should set his ego aside and bring in a specialist defensive coach.

If we can become more rigid at the back, then we're in business, as there's little else wrong.
 

Could anyone politely explain what the term ''Kenn jerk'' means please,

my understanding of it is that it's a reaction to an irregular happening that is out of line with what's warranted.

Can someone please shed some light?

Many thanks

He seems to be doing a great job at watford mate.
I think eddie howe would be a great fit,i mean he has bournemouth playing some great stuff with players like gosling and surman in the team

People that talk about relegation seriously or think the likes of Mark Hughes and the latest flavour of the month could come here and be an improvement
 

Keep seeing the word 'KNEEJERK'.

Not really sure it applies to those questioning why we're leaking so many goals, still, after what seems an age of leaking goals without any real management action being taken to stop us leaking goals?!?!?!?

Is that KNEEJERK? I dunno...

Did I mention us leaking goals?
 
Performance's this season have been much better than last.

3 points of top 6 and a cup semi. A few tweeks to the side and this can be a good season still

There is nothing to suggest we will turn the corner defensively under Martinez, We have looked poor at the back for over 12 months and to be honest many predicted his inability to coach a team to defend when he arrived
