He won't learn though, never does
Same thing week in week out without fail regarding style of play
Well I think in some ways your are correct. He obviously has an overarching style that he wants to play by.
I quite like that ideal, but I think at times he needs to be a bit more pragmatic before he gets his own players to be able to implement that style. At present we have square pegs in round holes.
If you look at our performances last season two things should be apparent. 1) We can play fantastic football and we have a manager who we are capable of competing at the top end of the table. This shows us it is possible to be done. We need to get the right players to suit that system.
2) He should be given a big of time to rectify this season, as a measure of good will for his performances last year.
I am not advocating an endless support of Martinez. I also agree at present we are very poor. I do think he is trying to change things, we change formations and personnel every game. I can only hope he is as radical in the transfer window in shipping out and trying to get some players in. Hopefully then we can get a more settled team for the second half of the season.
I know it’s frustrating. After recent results it can appear we are inevitably always going to be awful. Last year it felt like we would inevitably be challenging to win the league this season. There’s nothing automatic about football though, and a football manager has huge agency to change the course of a season. I think for now, it’s best to allow Martinez that opportunity.
