Roberto Martinez discussion

[bluewally]

ooooh, a rare shot across the bow from the "PULIS IN!!!" crowd. From School of Science to School of Remedial Stone-Bludgeoning!

Don't worry, there's not a single person here who actually believes that you'd consider us playing like West Brom just did every weekend to be an improvement.

Embrace the Stone Age! And stop using complicated words like "embrace!"

Ooga-Pug-Pug!

Yes because the only alternative to tippy tappy football without results is Tony Pulis

...pffff, people chatting utter bubbles about the MOYES years suggesting the entire reign was nothing but route one and mad toeys. It wasn't.

Not his biggest fan by any stretch but he'd mix it up when it needed it at least.

And now we have BOB, who by his own admission has no intention of changing the way he sets teams up.

And if that doesn't worry you as a fan then there's something sorely amiss.

I remember when he played Lukaku on the wing against Arsenal and he destroyed them and I thought wow this man is going to change our club.

Where is that guy?

I'd support him as manager

It was quite often stated as the goal. Even Martinez stated it as the goal before he started to manage those expectations downwards

Agree the young lads were going nowhere until he got here. Now they're all going somewhere alright. Somewhere else

Europa league yes he got us that. Then he realised how it affected our season and hasn't gotten close since. I take it that's deliberate

Agree again. Record points total. And since then he's surpassed those 72 points. Only took him all of 2014/15 season and until Christmas this season. Upward trajectory

As pointed out Moyes made 3 sf or better and let's not forget he also got us 4th place

And pfft well that's a good response.

I don't know why people bother respond to Dave anymore. He's on the wind up. Martinez could relegate us and he would still be backing him.

I'd probably rarely be on here if it wasn't for Dave.

Comedy gold

This idiot has one Moyes record in the bag and it looks like he's now going for the other. 3 seasons left, I fear he'll achieve it

 

[CynicalBlue]

What did we honestly expect when Roberto was appointed?

It was a poor board decision as he should not have even been considered.
People drum on that he kept Wigan up longer than he should but ultimately he did fail.
Don't blame the clown in charge, blame the real clown in charge.

I'm pretty sure we change the set up on a regular enough basis. Make tactical and personnel changes.

He passed his interview when Wigan nuked us 0 3.

I expected attacking football with, for one thing, a chance given to Barkley to play his way into being a main part of our team. I wasn't sure about what would happen defensively.

I know we have gotten the first two, the second aint so hot over the last 18 months but I think there's been patches in there where it hasn't been that bad. I would totally disagree that we are at the stage of "has to go" that some seem to think we are.

i think its all a comedy to many other posters. incessant wind up posts and a barrage of replies from people who should know better than to bite.

makes a mess of so many threads

For me its just using the forum for what its for, an expression of views.

Imagine how boring this place would be without the constant back and forth, nobody HAS to read, if Dave bothers people, put him on ignore, if the people replying to Dave bother people, put them on ignore.

Ive got 50+ people on ignore on this forum, theres some people, no matter what they say, that I simply do not wish to read, it makes my forum experience a joy.

The man gets worse with every passing press conference.

Wind up of the century is DaveK Superb !! love it !!

 

[ilikecheese]

That was the day I knew without a shadow of a doubt, that we'd never win anything under Moyes. Confirmed every suspicion I had.
