Baines: We have no chemistry

[Jxg]

Seems like this is it for Martinez.

A loss in the semi or a loss in the final and he's out the door within three days. Once you've lost the players, doesn't matter who you are, you're gone.

First Jags comes out after the game, now Baines, not said anything in the media for weeks, I would not say he's lost the dressing room totally but it's going that way, there are some of the senior players in that squad questioning the methods of the Manager and his staff.

When this happens, it is a very rare thing that a Manager can pull it back, hence a parting of ways, the FA Cup is the thing that is saving him right now IMO.

I think they can all speak English? Just questioning whether cliques are healthy for team chemistry.

Every team I've been on had cliques off the field.

The good teams I was on had them as well as the bad teams. The key difference being on the good teams we played for each other.

Looks like he's been crying? Or holding back tears. Bit odd nonetheless.

I read that as "the players can't build any understanding or chemistry on the pitch as this clueless bellwhiff keeps shuffling players about aots and none of us know whether we're coming or going"


might be just me though...

 

[ijjysmith]

Martinez aside, not that shocking that there's no chemistry.

You've got our top scorer and his entourage banging on about every top club every effing week.

You've got John Stones probably still getting dogs abuse and an agent in his ear.

Quite a lot to this I reckon. Including the manager obviously.

Looks to a key seat in the main stand....

I think you're reading far too much into it.

Jags as the captain rightly faced the media after another loss.

Baines as one of the senior players did an interview.

Silence would be more deafening than a couple of senior players addressing the media/fans.

Exactly. But players can get together and rally for the manager if they choose to. We will see next saturday.

 

[quasi modo]

Hopefully it will all click soon then, as we're only 8 months into the season.

 

[Moomin]

Players need a decent night out and get things out in the open.

With Roberto being teetotal he will take them out for a smoothie.

 

[Neiziro]

"Results have an impact on that because chemistry and confidence go hand in hand."

Don't know about anybody else but looks to me like he's having a dig at Roberto's "performance over results" philosophy.

 

[Kev50]

He looks to me like pure rage, and trying to keep a lid on it

 

[RickyMartin]

If Martinez does stay and I think he probably will, I think Baines will be first out the door this summer and he knows it.

I think he used to be our best player, but injuries have caught up with him and he has looked a shadow of himself recently.
