Martinez Out: Post Stoke poll

[davek]

Turns out the plotters were just forward thinkers who could see things before the manager finally came out with the relegation fight line.

Funny, eh?

Or is Bobby a plotter now, too?

Plotters will be doing what plotters do best soon: disappearing back into their bunkers when tragedy hits them (AKA Everton getting a result).

What a world they inabit. It must be really sh1t. Hoping Everton get beat and praying for hoofball to return. They're like the ISIS of the Everton world. Thriving on chaos and seeking to turn the clock back to the medieval period.

Imagine being Manager of Barca, team talk, "Give the ball to Messi".

 

[Brownie]

You can play like Barca when you have Barca players Browns.

I'm just saying, no good manager would ever put style before results. Roberto's always been dangerously close to the line on that one for me though, he loves the idea of being known for playing a certain way, maybe a bit too much.

David, hes lost the majority of the fanbase, those people wont be coming back onboard, a few good results will certainly get a lot of people off his back, but hes certainly left himself open to a lot of rightful criticism. Most of the "plotters" probably dont think we will get relegated, but the mindless tosh hes spouting, coupled with his zombie tiki taka and the lack of any motivation from the players wont be easily forgotten by any fan with a tiny bit of football knowledge.

Agreed Browns, hes a clown.

They were 2-0 down and down to 10 men, are you sure you know what parking the bus means?

They parked the bus big time. Got a good goal on one break. Got another on a break at the end when Barca had to go all out to score and basically a hoofed clearance set Torres free with almost the whole of Barcas half to himself.

I was there. It was a massive bus. Size of Big Nevs belly.

Chelsea in the Champions League in 2011/12

The semi-final second leg away to Barcelona, drawn 2-2. Terry was sent off and Chelsea had just 27% possession.

"Chelsea's blanket of defensive defiance served them well in the Nou Camp - and acted as a dress rehearsal for a first half spent almost entirely in their territory."

They were 2-0 down and down to 10 men, are you sure you know what parking the bus means?

And do you know what 27% possession means?

 

[Brownie]

The only two teams he's managed is Barca and Bayern though. Not exactly hard to get the best players in the world playing like he wants.

I'm not debating his ability as a manager other than saying he's good, I'm just pointing out that even the person everyone always holds up as the total purist [Poor language removed] would completely abandon his principles if he thought they didn't work anymore.

When was the last time a team with 10men didnt play counter attack football?

Is right mate.

He's talking the same sort of bollocks that he did at Wigan. It's self absorbed tripe, time he realised that he's managing one of the biggest clubs in the land and it's not a vehicle for his vanity project

Well...usually when 2-0 down and desperately needing to score to stay in the Champions League, I would say the normal response would be to attack more. They didn't. It worked though.

Yeah lad going all out attack with 10 men against Barca would be a brilliant strategy

Ha Ha Ha.

D'you think so?

Seeing as the cliche is being bandied about a lot lately, I'll fire it right back: it's a results business. Do you really think a few wins wont swing things back the other direction?

Pfffft!!

Its Jose mate, hes not gonna panic, quite a simple team talk, dont concede a 3rd, hit them on the break.

 

[fozzy]

But he won the cup with Wigan ffs!!
