Roberto Martinez discussion

His treatment of Mirallas is borderline bullying IMO.

He's piped that gold Bentley driving belter right down.

I think we have a better first 11 than any team in the league.

If they are played correctly with proper motivation.

Maybe the back 4, when Baines is back. Coleman looked a shadow of himself yesterday though.

The rest of Citeh's side would walk into ours mate.

Thought we looked decent second half, that third killed us though. You could see the players visibly wilt.

 

[davek]

you thought we looked solid while being ragged a new one by west brom for 70 minutes? Each to their own I suppose.

They play agricultural football. It's not a great example, tbh.

Gout has really lost the plot here!!

It's probably already been said, but his big mistakes have been picking an imbalanced side. Start with equal pace on the wings (two of Deulofeu, Mirallas and Lennon), with Barkley playing centrally behind Lukaku, and that's plenty of attacking intent. But when you have only one winger on the pitch, the opposing defence has it a lot easier -- close him down, and we've got no real alternative.

Is this meant to be your proof that we have the best XI in the league mate? lol

No more excuses for Naismith though. That was abysmal yestersay. At least Bobby hooked him at HT though. He won't start the next game. Vault me.

City have some good players, thought I would take some of them.

 

[Lanolin]

Well they've only played together 3 times. The potential examples are fairly limited.

Your posts are embarrassing at times, mate.

Pattern emerging with gaz baz, he seems to be excellent when we are on top and has time to get into position ,but when we are up against it he is a complete liability. We need to find a new system with 1 holding.

I suppose they would be, if I was serious most of the time.

But then life is all about not taking things to seriously, you should try it.

Sound, can we have Fabregas, Costa, Mata, Schweinstieger, Sanchez, Rooney and Zabaleta too please mate?

I think van Gaal's clocked on to how to do well in the Premier League quite quickly to be honest. Low risk, basic football done well is enough to beat the vast majority, including us yesterday unfortunately.
