The truth is you need an end product. You pass it around defence and midfield but always seem to come up short in the attacking third. A million miles away from the SPANISH style.

I agree it has only got us to 11th in the prem league from league 1 in 5 years. No end product see.

Why the smart arsed reply? If you are honest you will admit that goal scoring during that time has been a problem for you. I respect the style of play that Martinez bought to your club (as he has done with Wigan). BUT as was shown in the latter stages of last season if the opposition press your defenders then you seem to struggle. Do you think you have a plan 'B' to overcome this. If not it may be a harder season for you next time around.

I'm saying they play great football but they're not that interesting to watch. Sorry I can't sit there watching the ball just passed between six players for 90mins. Didn't you watch the Portugal vs Spain even the Portuguese dealt with them very well whilst they had the ball they barely got anywhere in there within the first 90 mins.

So......are you saying that you would not want us to play this style of football? :oops: Like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Spain. :roll:

I wouldn't mind playing similar, pass it around as long as it leads to something at the end of. Football is a spectator sport and therefore should be interesting I don't find passing it around between 3 players for majority of 90mins boring to watch. Real Madrid pass it around their front two/three or midfield four/three much more often and it actually leads to something the majority of the time. Today for example has been two great moments followed by 40 mins of passing it between the midfield.

Its not smart arsed. How can a side go from mid table league one to 11th in the Prem league with no end product?
You do realise how many goals Scotland scored under Martinez and Sinclair scored under Brendan? Yes we dont score goals for fun but then again with the quality of our defence over the past 5 years we didnt need it. Of course we over do it at times but we are small time for this league and to beat so many top teams and finish 11th shows our style has worked for us with our limited resources and our sensible spending policy
