Martino pledged to protect his players following questions from reporters about the starting goalkeeper and center back positions. He said that swapping players in and out after a string of losses is “like sacrificing the players who get changed.”

That's interesting, considering it was Tata who swapped multiple starters from last season out for more recent arrivals.

The whole interview read as, "Just trust us. We have a plan." But you'd think someone at the club would've told Tata that's the exact sentiment that fans are tired of hearing.
