Don't think even you still think he's a "crap manager". Lost 1-0 in the semi-final of a WC to probably the best team in the comp who played with 11 behind the ball for the most part of the 2nd half.
1-0 down in the World Cup semi final with 15 minutes left and you take off your biggest set piece threat? Hmmmm
Perhaps because for 75 minutes he wasn't such a set piece threat. Apart from the own goal.
Yeah but surely you can't take him off because it only takes one set piece for him to get on the end of.
Would've made more sense to play him for the final 15 rather than the first 75, in my opinion.
But they have six other outfield players who are over 6' 2" still on the pitch. The problem was that they weren't getting the right delivery into the box.
Always comes across as a good bloke and be interesting to see where he goes next. Very highly rated in his native Spain where he is amusingly known as Bob Martinez because of the English connection.

Why settle for six when you can have seven?
I do think bringing Carrasco on was the right move but taking Fellaini off was the wrong one.

I'd have sooner seen Chadli subbed.
