Roberto Martinez discussion

[TheHumbleEgg]

11th last season, 11th this season after 26 games, 4 bottom half finishes with Wigan, the last resulting in relegation. Let's face it El Coco is a bottom half of the table manager.

....but there's been some wonderful football.

What's he said?

What's he said?

Nothing mate, he's just kicking a trainee footballer.

What's he said?

Many of his family dont go anymore. Getting disillushioned with Martinez. Terrified what might happen this summer, (Stomes, Rom, Ross).

Then trotted off the last 10 years finishes for us. And the last 8(ish) PL finishes for Wigan. Pre and post Martinez. Was a picture.

Good, fully deserved.

He achieved more in his first season, with relatively the same squad, than Moyes had for the past five years, while at the same time introducing a fantastic style of play.

And again you're completely missing the point. This isn't Poch's first season at Spurs, is it?

Same squad but with the addition of Lukaku, Kone, McCarthy, Barry, Del.
Yes Moyes got to improve this much at once didn't he.

Martinez got the improvements in 1 summer that other managers took years to get. It's backfired big time on him though because most of the money spent since has been to stand still whilst others have moved forward.

He's a fraud and has conned many. He knew if he got off to a flyer in the first season it would give him a free ride for the rest of his time here.

He's right.

The what??

He finished the piece by saying that Martinez teams just cannot defend.

He means dave's going to rip Barton's character to bits to show why Barton's views are worthless.
To be fair, that won't be hard.

Edit : Oh, hang on, I've just seen Ian's spelling mistake, ignore me.

The Charachter assassination, the second any public figure speaks out about Martinez.....His/Her points are ignored and their reputation is hammered

See the Merson, Stones and Martinez thread.

We all accept home form must be better but he is changing the entire image of the club into one of the best attacking teams in the country - would you have preferred to stick with moyes to have stayed finished 7th with some of the rubbishy we seen or take a risk and see Lakaku, Geri, Barkely realise their potential. Not defending the home record but it's fine margins here - 6 more points and this forum would have a very different tone.

...grim thing is, they're all generally right.

He's done it again.

So your saying he purposely had a boss first season to buy himself time in the job
