Erm Ian?

Listening

Dodged bullet

For sure.

Judging Koeman or any Everton manager this early is pretty poor IMHO

Tbf, we're judging Mourinho at the same time.

Listening

It was the irony of telling Davek to stop biting when you, yourself, were replying to a Davek post. There's layers within layers here

2nd to 4th IIRC.

I dont know why. It cant be based solely on competitive games as Belgium have won all three they played handsomely.

They play Holland next month in a friendly. Beating them will no doubt shift them up the rankings again...if friendlies are included.

They are, it's all international "A" team matches IIRC, with a special stupid formula to go with it, of matches in the last 48 months.

Before they lost to Spain they also lost to Wales I think, didn't they? Before Martinez' time there, but still counts towards that.

I'm using Mourinho's results last season as well.

My post was intended to be ironic, ya know, because I bite quite often as well.

I honestly can't keep track of it anymore mate. Who the eff is trolling who? It's like an M. Night Shymillymannymilyan film

I loved Wayward Pines first season.

Second, not so much

 

[Ihaters]

That's just perception. Here's the stats/facts:

Martinez had two terrible runs in his last two seasons with a 1 win in 12 games stretch in his second season, and a 1 win in 10 stretch in season three.

Moyes though had 1 win in 10 stretch in season 2003/04, and 1 win in 9 stretch in season 2005/06.

The worst losing sequences happened under Moyes: he lost 7 of our opening 8 games in 2005/06, and in 2007/08 he lost 10 of our last 18 games.

Martinez's worst losing sequence was 6 losses in 8 games in 2014/15 and 5 losses in 8 in season 2015/16.

As for Martinez being clueless in the PL, I wait with expectation our present and future managers crashing through his season record from 2013/14. When that happens the talk of 'cluelessness' in the PL management stakes might be taken a bit more seriously.

Moyes took us forwards from what he inherited, Martinez took us backwards from what he inherited.
Moyes>Martinez

If Martinez drags Belgium backwards from what he took over, then he's done badly, if he takes them forwards he's done well, if they stay the same.. he's done meh..

It's the only objective way to judge the quality of a manager.

Trophies won is another way to judge I reckon.

 

[davek]

Of course he will Dave

Why wouldn't he?

...depends on your definition of 'forward'.

 

[DualityNSNO]

...depends on your definition of 'forward'.

Not really, he pretty much stated the universal definition of forward.

 

[COYBL25]

Why wouldn't he?

Err, because it's all about " pressing " now, not slowly, slowly, sideways, backwards and start again ?
