Roberto Martinez discussion

[Seamus Colemole]

I 'd like to congratulate our wonderful manager on his fantastic acheivement of winning more domestic cup games this season than he did in the previous 2.

Well done Roberto.

Just out of interest mate; who currently is taking the defensive sessions down at FF, and what do you think they are doing wrong?

Anyone whose watched us play for more than 5 minutes this season could see what our defensive issues are mate

Close thread as this pretty much nailed it

no !! never !! leave the thread open for the logical development of further discussion !!

I agree to a degree. crosses into the box are something we've not been great with. However, the solution to this doesn't lie with the centre-halves, as so many think. The problem has been attacking players finding too much time and space to put a cross in. Some balls are very, very hard to defend against, and no amount of coaching is gonna enable a player to easily deal with a fantastic cross or through ball.

However, I'm still not sure about our coaching sessions mate. Who is taking the defensive ones down at FF?

Roberto is turning Scouse! Listen to how he says 'centre half':

No patience in the game anymore. Martinez is the 3rd longest serving manager in the Prem and it's only his 3rd season ffs.

wow...that's nuts. who's in 2nd place?

Eddie Howe at Bournemouth.

 

[dandydan]

I wonder when Southampton were in the championship did they have fans demanding they sign low end premier league players for daft wages to get back up quickly instead of the slow and steady approach?

 

[dholliday]

Eddie Howe at Bournemouth.

cheers bib, so Roberto's actually 2nd longest-serving Prem manager then...it's a mad market, glad we're one of the more stable clubs.

Top of my head think its poch at spurs by a few weeks

Howe doesnt qualify as his first season in the prem mate
