This season has been a disaster so far,we get one player back,then we lose another. Martinez messed up big time no reinforcing our defence in the summer.

Don't panic lads, Alcaraz is a top defender
We're screwed

Hold on, he couldn't predict that Stones would get injured....
That Jagielka would struggle for form in the first 5 games, he did however show great faith in the young talent we have at the club (Browning)
He also purchased a player in Besic who can play at CB and also RB, so did he fail to look at our backline....?

Yes he did. Besic may or may not play at cb but rb? but the only real cover we have there is alceraz.

Actually Mr Besic, Roberto could have predicted Jagielka's form, as he was out in Brazil instead of being over here supervising pre-season preps early enough. Jags form in the World Cup was abysmal as was Baines and our future purchase Lukaku (yet we paid £28 million for a player that Chelsea paid £11 million for and didn't want). Distin did very well for us the last two seasons but at this level and at his age the body can only take so much and reacts slower.

okay, who should he have purchased to cover for our shaky defence? He was at the WC with all that talent, or who else should he have looked at rather than splashing £28m on Lukaku?
You have an opinion on what we shouldn't have done.....so lets see who you would have wanted
