I have Martinez as the first manager to be sacked and i never thought i would say that. He has been found out by nearly every other premiership team that have conquered his one dimensional style of play that worked so well when he was at Swansea. He started off well at Wigan but it never had the impact it did at Swansea and at Everton he is still playing the same way and it is dragging Everton backwards that will see them struggle to get out of the bottom half come the end of the season....Everton are so far behind Liverpool now and they are not exactly world beaters anymore. So that's why i think Martinez will be the next manager to be sacked and someone else is desperately needed to install a fresh approach.......Martinez has gone stale and it is showing.....
He has the s ame philosophy as Monk and Rodgers! However Monk is at a team/club that is used to that and Rodgers has spent £250m and counting to make those changes at Liverpool. Neither manager has been a hit apart from Monk IMO who has after Laudrup improved Swansea after flirting with relegation. But let's see how he goes in his second full season eh ;-)
Monk is so far from Martinez and Brendan. He has learned that tika taka is no longer the way to go and Monk has Plan A,B,C, and D in his locker and that's why we improve year in year out and why Martinez is going backwards, Even Brendan has more to his game now than when he first took over Liverpool...
we started tippy-tappy and completley changed second half In Monks first season he got a club record points haul....as did Martinez at Everton. If Monk can equal or improve on that haul then I would agree, yet martinez had a dip due to EL commitments last season. However our form improved once we exited the EL. Just one game in this season and both are equal on points with one just spending £4m so far....lets judge who is the better man after 38 games ;-)
Just got back from Barnsley. Great game, some shocking defending by us mind. I thought we'd stuffed it at 2-3, but fair play to the lads for a strong comeback. Deulofeu made the difference, pure class that lad The Barnsley No.4 had a better game than Stones ffs, terrible display from him.
At least we got through could be worse we could be from across Stanley park and have to bank on offside decisions going our way to win or draw games hey Astro lol Big lol at the LFC board circle jerk when we were behind ( I know the forum plank will read this lol)
I only saw the first couple of goals, which didn't seem Joel's fault (defensive errors and in the corners) Conceding 3 against a crap team is never good but aside from that how was he because in all seriousness Howard is awful and is properly going to cost you loads of points
The second one doesn't Stones stand completely still and watches his man jog away from him and head the ball in unopposed, then throw his arms up like someone else should have done something?
Yeah Joel is weak indecisive but Stones does watch and do nothing as his man scores http://streams.tv/highlights/46792-2nd-goal-bar-eve-2-0
