@EvertonArentWe must have me confused with someone else who knows Moyes is better than Martinez


Lock it mods.

Clean sheet.

I mean, I hate giving that shower anything, but we need every point we can get at the moment, maybe it'll be a little confidence booster to a few players, especially the backline and Robles.

We are playing sh1t, but at least we aint playing sh1t and getting smashed every week, silver linings and baby steps innit.

Screw this god damn season to hell.

Win the Europa, sign Besic for 6 years and smash the CL.

I would have gone for..."Screw this god damn season to hell."

No ones demanding 3 points. I'm demanding more attacking intent than 10 men behind the ball and one shot on target in 90 minutes

Saying that, isn't that one of the reason Wigan went down, Martinez wouldn't change his 'Philosophy' from his attacking football.

I think it was mainly they had badly sh1t players personally.

Yeah, some of the mainly crap 1s.

Thankfully we got their best as well.

That's a given, but he could have easily parked the bus every game, even more because of the injuries Wigan had at the time, but he continued with his 'attacking philosophy.'

Well didnt see any attacking philosophy on display today.

 

[riddick]

My biggest problem is basically personified by just after halftime. We pressed and became..maybe not lethal but pretty fn dangerous. 5 minutes later we're standing fifteen yards off whomever had the ball in their half. I mean...wtf. we hunted in packs last year and did amazing. I would put a considerable percentage of what's different this year on the lack of pressing.

That's what I was getting at, maybe he's learned when games are not going his way it's time to change that 'philosophy.'

End of the day right we set up to at a certain game against the most in form team in europe.

We set up to be defensively solid in a formation thus was primarily to contain and press and when we had the ball counter attack.

Now due to us still feeling our way back into form it didn't quite work out on the counter attacking side until we brought on lennon think we created quite a few chances when he came on purely because he stretched defenders out of position which opened spaces if we start with the same formation but put in Lennon and mirallas against Chelsea it could work.

At the end of the day I'm not happy with just drawing but I am realistic due to our form and due to Liverpool's and we didn't lose, another point against Chelsea and then picking up a win at Leicester we will find ourselves back in some sort of form
