Did we chase Martinez out too soon?

Oh great, a 6 year old debate being rehashed

He played champagne football. Constantly attacking and looking to out score.

That’s all well and good. However in this league you need to be able to defend above all else. That’s why City and Liverpool do so well. Everything starts at the back for them.
Defensively we were not great under Martinez, especially set pieces.

Well let's put it this way: right now I wish he'd been taken on as interim manager back in January, because I think we'd have seen a discernable style of football and our attack being a lot less gummy than it has been under Lampard. Given our wingers and forwards, the counter attacking game deployed by Martinez away from home would have better suited us than this open play policy of Lampard's.

Fair enough. Certainly agree about the attacking.

Do a Fat Sam thread @chicoazul lid

I seen an interesting point saying Evertonians turned into Geordies when Moshiri took over and sacrificed a good man in Martinez, without replacing him since. The same person also said that on that day the angry entitled and toxic fans started being the tail that wagged the big royal blue dog and that where we are now is a reflection of that and we need to chop the tail off to save the dog.

I have no particular feelings on this matter, apart from not being able to recognise when the dog is happy, but thought I’d start a thread and share.

Completely spot on.

Was happy to see big Sam go, but I’d give anything to have him in charge right now.

Just seen this on my FB memories from 2014…

Phenomenal eh?

Only managers we chased too soon were Koeman and Alladyce imo.

Koeman was shafted by Walsh that summer signing abar 5 no10's and not replacing Lukaku and Alladyce took a worse side than what we have now to 8th in the table.

Go back and watch allardyces first few interviews when he was announced manager. He understood the club and what the fans wanted. Basically he didn’t do his hair nice and wasnt hipster enough for the fans to get behind. I actually didn’t mind him and think with more time, he would of done fine. Maybe if sammy lee wasnt there, he would of got more time.

We chased Marco Silva out too soon, he was the manager we needed to keep.

Yet another Captain Hindsight.

 

[chicoazul]

Another Captain Hindsight. There are quite a few of that type around, not just Sir Keir.

Just asking the hard honest questions we need to ask ourselves with nothing but humility my royal blue brother.

 

[Pabbers]

You could say this about 1 or 2 other managers too.

 

[The Gueye Science]

Bring back Besic.

 

[Parker]

No for Martinez... but 100% Silva went too early.
