Roberto Martinez discussion

Ok mate. Worst sub ever, The boos were horrendous for that sub.. Did you hear them?

We were 2-0 up when that sub was made and ended up letting in 3 goals. Probably the worst substitutions in the history of football.

jesus....that is so terrifyingly blatant. And he's even doing worse on the points from losing positions part!

I know i blame Niasse for not stopping crosses n getting Mirallas sent off and also making Lukaku miss the pen.

Dont think anyone has blamed the player, more the decision to send him on for Lennon.

If you can't see that mate you don't have a clue about football

Lol. We were 2-0 up already and under pressure proper good idea to bring on another striker.

Not just any striker, a striker with less than 10minutes under his belt in the league.

Don't like those stats though. If you are 1-0 up and draw 1-1 you have 'lost 2 points'. The other way around and you have 'gained 1 point'.

Only Aston Villa, Newcastle, Norwich, Sunderland and Bournemouth have conceded less than us in the league this year.

LOL.

Teams with a strong mental capacity come back from behind. Leicester did about 3 or 4 weeks in a row and look what it led to! We are mentally weak and the manager is not addressing it. We need a stronger manager I'm afraid. I love the way we play, but the manager just hasn't got what it takes.

And if he'd brought off Lennon for Barry and we'd gone on to lose? That'd be the worse sub ever?

If we'd won 2-0 you'd still go on about the Lennon Niasse sub because it was that bad? No i don't think so

But we didnt win, he made the sub and we lost.

So we dont need to imagine a world in which he made a different sub, we only have to focus on the sub that was made.

Very little been said (as far as I can see at least) about the shambolic individual defending, the piss poor penalty and the petulance of Mirallas and their contribution to yesterday's result. Seems everything is the managers fault.
I'd be interested to see the comments in the match thread when we went 2-0 up and won the penalty.....I imagine it was relatively complimentary.
The key to it for me is twofold:

A proven defensive coach to join the back room staff.
Players with balls and a winning mentality....we have a few but too many with no spine.

Besic on for Stones...
