What I mean, is that I have confidence that he'll actually go after players as opposed to signing some stop gaps on the last minute of deadline day.
Quality I agree, remains to be seen but at least he doesn't to seem to "dither", as it were.
He appeared to be doing a hell of a lot of dithering the last 2 windows to be honest mate.
Look im onboard the Martinez train myself, I like the teams he picks, the tactics he selects, the subs he makes, I was even starting to like his soundbites and thought we had found somebody who wouldnt be an extension of the Board. But that Jan window has knocked me for 6, it really has.
He took a massive gamble and it backfired, we got utterly destroyed at Anfield, I aint putting that on him, as such, I think he messed up with the high line and it cost us big time, but these things happen, that vermin over the park score for fun and as soon as we lost Lukaku the game was as good as done.
We then played Spurs and looked utterly toothless, due to a MAJOR lack of striking options, that game was very winnable with a "threat" upfront, same for Chelsea, we switched off in both games and got punished, but it would have gone a different way if we had more quality in the final 3rd.
Whether that was in the form of a creative spark in the middle of the park or a real threat up top, he loaned an injured player, who has now got injured, we have sold 2 strikers this season, we then bought a terrible striker in the form of Kone who was terrible and then injured, we loaned Lukaku, who started like an utter train, but recently has looked un-interested and every year of his very young age, so I honestly dont understand the thinking behind loaning a very unfit, injured young striker, its beyond utter madness.
I said at the start of the season I would judge Martinez on his tactics, his results, but more importantly and the 1 thing I had concerns with, his dealings in the transfer window, he smashed his first window and we started with 3 draws and then BOOM, we took off. Then we picked up long term injuries to 2 very important squad players, Kone, no matter my feelings towards him, he was still an option upfront and he surely could only have played better then he started, Gibson, the only player within the squad who could play the number 8 role, why on earth werent these players replaced, with able, fit, talented players?
So thats 1 amazing window and 1 utter joke of a window, hes 1-1, this season is over for me, league wise, yes theres every chance of Europa, personally I think its gonna be a tough ask, but surely, our goal should always have been to break the top 4? Yes I realise its "his first season" and honestly if we finish 7th I aint gonna cry over that, but I personally dont think he did all he could to improve it, but ok, theres always next season, but I for 1 will be watching how we perform during the summer, do me proud Bobby, mug me off like you did in the summer and the first 6 months of the season, clown me Bobby, CLOWN ME.
p.s, Im aware we have an FA cup QF to play and possibly 2 Wemberleeeeeeeeee trips to look forward to, im not saying the SEASONS OVER, im saying I consider our LEAGUE SEASON to be an utter wash out.
tl;dr
Kone is pony, Bobby needs to put in work in the summer, we are gonna win the FA cup.
