What was the score against Chelsea nige?
See I dont see this with Martinez- if ever a manager would be a risk it would be him. He works on a budget not too disimlar to Moyes and yet we have a team in the top 5 and they have a team in the bottom 3.
Yes they can play nice stuff and yes he seems to be able to pick a player or two but the league never lies and season after season they struggle.
If Moyes left and we took on Martinez I think it would be a huge risk, it might pay off but playing nice football and getting the odd decent player doesnt get you further than where we are now.
If Moyes keeps this squad together or even replaces real quality leaving with real quality coming in and next season we struggle or achieve very little in the way of cups and Europe I may be swayed but at the moment we have a very pleasing squad playing at times some of the most impressive football in the league and I want to see what he can achieve with this current crop.
I have gone full circle about a keeper, I was a big fan of Howard but he isnt looking confident at all. I really hope we get a couple in January with none leaving- a keeper and a striker is my preference with maybe another body in the middle too.
I don't disagree it would be a huge gamble but there's the rub do we stick with what we know we'll get with Moyes, already this season the league cup has gone exactly the same way as previous years and for all the bluster about liverpool being ****e we still didn't win again.
As I said in another reply a lot depends on what sort of person you are, myself I've always gone for stuff so the idea of same old same old does me in.
