Patrick Best: Adapt or fail

[GrandOldTeam]

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein.

At the half way point in our season we find ourselves trying to assess the reasons behind our sustained poor performance. What i find most troubling is the reluctance of Roberto Martinez to adapt, repeating the same mistakes game after game. A stubborn loyalty to his philosophy leaves us exposed with teams knowing exactly what to expect from us. They press us high up the pitch. They wait for the inevitable mistake. They conserve energy while we dwell on the ball to attack in numbers when we stretch ourselves.

Yes I will never boo personally and I am not doubting the passion of each player. Its the discipline it has broken down with the loss of confidence. How does Martinez turn the tide? I wish i had the answer. It will have to come from within the squad and some of the players to step up to last years form. Most notably Romelu who has to take this team on his shoulders.

This team has the look of relegation about it.
My trust in Martinez is totally shaken and I see nothing to suggest our fortunes will change.
What has happened to the same team and players that did so well last season?
