Roberto Martinez discussion

[Khalekan]

A few lids quietly optimistic we are going to win the EL. I can't see any of the continental teams posing too much threat. Pocettino's Spur's is (I believe) our greatest threat

What about the RS?

2 minutes away from getting a point against the future champions, GOT fumes about it.

A point in their fortress, no less- a feat only presently achieved by the future runners-up.

A defeat's a defeat regardless of when the goals are scored. Unfortunately we didn't score any -- again.

the 2 italian clubs should be pretty strong. Roma only marginally went out the CL and the waiter of Napoli knows how to get results in Europe. Other than that, there's no real standouts no

i know we've looked great in europe this season, just hope people don't use a possible knockout to have a go at martinez because they've bigged us up for the win. I mean probably most of the teams left in have had better seasons than us up to now

Facts show that we are in a relegation scrap. For the ulturn in form recently we still only have one win to show for it.
I am very worried as we are not getting any calls from refs or lucky breaks. And when we do, we mess up like the pen v West Brom.
We should not be in the position we are with the squad we have.

Yes, because we should be slotting loads against a side that has conceded what, 4 in 12 at home this season?

At least we've progressed from "he's turning us into Wigan ffs, can't marshall a defence to save his life" to "Martinez has turned into Moyes ffs, far too defensive, why doesn't he attack more".

I notice you didn't mention "regardless of the opposition". Mentalcase.

them too

yes LL, it's a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. But pleasingly, I have detected a (generally) more sanguine air to forum discussions today. It is good to see and augurs well for the future.

 

[Khalekan]

yes but is that because the League is more even this year due to the TV money allowing teams to get better players?

Except us

Bradford scored four agin them

I'm just sayin'

Bradford though, is a MUCH better team than a lot give credit ...would not be surprised to see them at Wembley

In a nothing to lose, game of their lives knock out match.

We're that low on confidence trying to find our next point it's not surprising. Totally different games, let's not compare apples with bananas.

Maybe it's my old ears but did I hear right last night when the blues fans were singing 'Allez, Allez-o....' they replaced 'Roberto's Army' with 'Blue and White Army'? If so, it's a portent of things to come!
