True, we're relying on Mirallas or Coleman to run through everyone in order to break through, or long shots from Barkley and Mirallas to score mostly. Having said that, there have been some lovely moves between our front lines at times already that have been as good as any I have seen for a while.
Last year saw a lot of superb play, and I really don't buy into the negative hoofball picture of Moyes tenure here that some are trying to force feed us. But for me we have seen some glimpses of what can be under Martinez and that's enough for me to say its been as good... Football wise, no, it hasn't been, but I am enjoying it more because I am loving seeing the team change their way of playing before our eyes. Yes its still frequently slow and dangerous at the back, but the quality of that half against Newcastle had some genuinely ace moments in it.
Give me five whole games from each manager and I would prefer to watch Moyes team from earlier last season every time, but pick the best bits out of both games and there would be plenty of Martinez bits in there, which is why I would say its been more enjoyable, because you can actually see the development going onand you never quite know what's going to change week to week.
Poor argument I know, but its what's making me most happy about the new guy. We're getting results and we are are still low on the learning curve as a team, so much potential rather than getting the same results whilst being at the top of our potential.
Still get bored after ten minutes of having it in our own half though
