Roberto Martinez discussion

[kithnou]

Any fight that we showed came from the players alone digging deep. The manager contributed nothing. At least with Moyes you knew he was driving the players on.

Martinez out before it's too late - if it isn't already.

How many negative reps are you exactly aiming to achieve?

 

[Fearthainn]

Massively unlucky tonight, but that takes us to 1 win in 12.

Two huge games coming up, get 4 points from them and move on from there.

I won't be happy with less than 6 points to be honest.

I'm not really sure that you can pin tonight's defeat on Martinez, mate.

Yep. Very important we get at least 1 win there and no losses

I know they have showed battling spirit and a bit of heart tonight, but it shouldn't be coming down to that.

Defended Martinez through all the crap, patience seriously running thin due to him constantly playing an unbalanced side.

I know he is young, he is also managing the best players he has ever managed. However I seriously wonder if he is ruining the confidence of Ross Barkley amongst others.

Something has gone badly wrong this season. I hope he learns from it and becomes a better manager. He has a good side seriously under achieving.

I appreciate we have had a terrible injury problem this season too which hasn't helped.

Forget the Europa league, we haven't a cat in hello chance of winning it. If we don't beat west brom next week we are in a relegation battle, the only consolation being it looks like the players are FINALLY prepared to put a shift in for him.

I really want him to succeed, but he is having a mare so far this season apart from the EL group win.

Just changing one thing here

this is guesswork

1 win in 12 tells it's own story

 

[Chang Elephant]

Utterly crap season, injuries due to pre season being used for glue sniffing, formation changing every second game, team changing every two minutes, and starting inferior players over players that virtually every other team would want (Kev Belg)

We've got to be realistic with where we are atm. No idea how much that's going to affect our confidence either.

Two teams with new managers, I wouldn't be putting any money on us getting 6 from 6.

Does it tell you that our players switched off and conceded a soft goal from a free kick and that one of our players made a brainless foul to get us down to 10 men moments after going a goal down?

Yeah and I suppose it's Martinez' fault when the players play like sh**houses because he's not motivating them or something.

Go away.

 

[Jags..class]

Let's hope Martinez can sort the defence out, we leaking to many goals.

Hello Kev, you still didn't answer my question before the Man City game regarding if Martinez should have been told after 5 games if results didn't improve he would be getting sacked by Crimbo?

 

[Kev The Rat]

this is guesswork

Situations like this you have to go with your gut instinct. 1 win in 12 says he's not contributing as much as he could IMO.

But regardless we stare directly into the face of relegation if we don't beat west Brom and tough decisions will have to be taken. There simply isn't the time to procrastinate.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

only my opinion and I hope I can voice it reasonably but I want him gone.
We have had galant failure after galant failure with a team capable of 3rd or 4th.

Palace, Stoke, Hull, West Ham have all outplayed us recently. His team selections are bizarre and I am very worried about our future now.
He could take us down.

I would have voiced this no matter what the result tonight. Individuals stepped up in extra time.
