He's dead boss la. He's gonna take the 'EPL' by storm him kidda!

Add to the fact that Rodgers had no idea how to use him properly. Mario is best when he gets service, and I don't mean 40 yard balls over the top for him to try and run on to. Additionally he's best used as the second of two forwards but Brentanningbed is asking him to play the lone striker role. No wonder he doesn't look arsed.

It will be a fairly long cycle, though. Most of the Spanish league has been forced into the position where the only way to survive and remain in the league is to develop their own players, buy cheaply and effectively where possible and sell at a profit to richer, more daft clubs. Atletico did that for three or four years and they won the league and came within a whisker of winning the CL; having five or six clubs do it at once will probably mean they continue to win European competitions for some time yet.
Alas, I have a feeling Bobby is the latter category.

I think the risk/reward dynamics of the pragmatism vs idealism equation have been well inculcated in Martinez during his (thus far) short tenure-ship at EFC. ; and his managerial skills will only continue to improve as consequence
To paraphrase Darwin : 'adapt, or die'

In an nutshell yeah.
For all that Bobby is seen by the media as always wanting to dominate possession and play the Barcelona way, the reality can be in many ways quite different.
He does want us to be comfortable on the ball.
But he is capable of changing and adapting the way we play to benefit us against our opponents. Be it by using Lukaku on a wing as an outlet for cross-field balls to cut in, like vs. Arsenal, or the way he set us up to counterattack on several occasions, or even how we sat back against Lille, there is an underlying pragmatism which is there/has been developed.
Probably not then.
Gone for a narrow home win on Predictor - head overrules heart - but have this voice in my head telling me Bruce had words with Sammi Allardici the other day and the Master Tactician told him how to put one over Brendan Clough's Liberpool.. Could be a tasty price.
How many peeeeses in dis jigsaw? Dee seems to be sum missing bits and I don't have da picture like.
Yeah, because anyone could win the Premier League this season. Sevilla won the Europa League last season, Madrid won the Champions League having played Atletico in the final. There's plenty of strong teams in La Liga, most of whom would destroy their equivalents in the Premier League. Real and Barcelona are just abnormally good and make it look a lot easier than it would be for Chelsea or Manchester City.

I'd disagree here. Look how we set out against Arsenal and Liverpool this season (albeit the former we fell to pieces in the last 15). I think we play our way against the teams we should beat and setup to attack in a different against those who offer more of a challenge.
