I think Martinez is assembling a really good team, but I'm just not sure he actually knows how to use it. I look at the other teams in the league and I honestly think our best 11 are better than most of them. However I am frustrated week after week with team selection and tactics. I think he talks a really good game but when it actually comes down to the business on the pitch, he is sadly lacking. I really like the fella and his handling of the whole Stones saga has been great, but where it matters I'm still not convinced about him. I really really hope he proves me wrong, because obviously that would mean the Blues are flying and that would be brilliant! I'm just not sure he's the one to do it. Any thoughts?
{Ed025's Note - i think you speak for a lot of us ITB, my feelings down to a tee mate..

The Spurs game was crying out for us to add the pace of Mirallas or Gerry to run at their defence!

we need a few players with trophy wining experience to help the team out in my opinion, in some games people like lukaku, barkley and co can loose sight of the teams goal and go missing in action to often did it too much last season
also hate the way bringing new blood in comes down to just one day at the end of the window when the transfer window is open all summer long just like any bloke who leave xmas shopping to xmas eve

you may be right about Del boy needing to come on earlier but Mirallas had a shocker when he came on at half time. Mirallas is so inconsistent and plays poorly more than good.

ITB A rational assessment well thought out, good post mate ;)
BOTN, good call with ''we need a few players with trophy wining experience''
and it does't matter imo where they play (keepers excluded out field only)
Preferably league winners in England, Spain, Italy or Germany.
As they can identify lack of focus as well as showing stoicism when needed .

I think we are missing the link player, the hardest player to find, Rooney,messi,Silva, any of them will do
