I guess that's because it's natural / logical to look for possible reasons why we lost when we lose.... There's logically no need for a post-mortem if/when we grab a (rare) win. Nevertheless, even teams that aren't fully fit will inevitably scrape a result every now and then.

I don't think it does but life is too short to argue the toss on a internet football forum.

Maybe it's a combination of everything rather than having to pick and choose from a list of potentially detrimental factors?

Blaming him for "everything", as you stated? I see people citing him as the 'main' reason we are where we are, but haven't seen anyone saying it's 100% down to him. Fair enough if you've seen posts to the contrary that I've missed, although I would venture that anyone laying the blame for "everything" at Martin's door are in an extremely small minority of the fan base.

Ok, I'll bite... Name 3 posters that cited Martin as the sole reason for our woeful season.... #thingsthatdidnthappen

Sums it up for me too. Yes, I get the "most of these players aren't PL quality" mantra, but you don't have to be PL quality to bust a gut for the team, and for the fans. Most of these players compound their shiteness by seemingly not giving a shite either.

I always felt we should've appointed a caretaker manager when Martin's doomed reign came to an end. Lallana, Rusk, whoever. Was the most logical approach given we were all but relegated anyway. Another SR cock-up to appoint a full-time manager, and one that appears equally out-of-his-depth as Martin to boot.

Good to see Russball making a comeback there... #faffingaroundatthebackthenlosingit

Jeeez... More shoe horns than a branch of Freeman Hardy Willis...

Are we playing a back 4 now or has Smallbone slotted into the back 3?

Player who hasn't scored since December 2023.... Tick...

If Fernandes isn't playing for a top 8 PL side next season then my name's Barbara Lighthouse

No idea. Given I'm only posting on an internet football forum,rather than attempting to qualify for Mensa, I hadn't given it much thought, ergo there's every chance I could be talking gibberish.

House!

Ok. Time's up. The guy is a certified nutter. Early request for a normal manager next please.

That's enough for me. Confirmation that Juric isn't the answer. Next...!

House!

Scousers? Probably started in the Confessional...

Hugely entertaining though. It's almost got a whiff of a certain Scottish city about it...

Call me an insightful genius, but I would venture all his previous injury spells followed a game that he had played in...
