fantastic, i think?
Saying that we got bolasie so probably didn't get a better one anyway.

haha between bolasie and el mohamody, hardly anything to write home about either way.

No but Bolasie is comfortably several levels above Elmohamady, clearly.
Roberto was obviously making tremendous strides at goodison, clearly we got shut to soon. A team of cleverly, kone, niasse and elmohamady was the way forward of pure possession.
Did the massive tit not realise you can't play like barca when you've filled your team with the utter barrels of gash from the league.
I actually hate the man, despise everything about the fraudulent clown

yeah mid table mate from relegation battles. Even then Yannick was a relegation battler himself.

It frightens me to death that he was once our manager, and still would be if top bloo Kenwright had his way.
You can imagine the utter mess we would be right now if that whopper was still in charge, we'd have elmohamady somewhere in that team and I guarantee he would have brought somelike Di Santos because "he's had the football education of Maradona"
I hope Belgium crash and this tit is wiped from the footballing world.
You can probably notice that this small piece of news has sent me into a spiral of utter fume

Hahahaha. Mate I'm with you there, none of this "I wish him well" crap, he made me one miserable season ticket holder for the past two years and made me dread going the game, I've got no good words to say about him and will revel in his failure.

I said in Martinez’s first season that players will like his style of play, and fans will like his positivity, as long as he’s winning. It was always going to be a problem as soon as we started losing games, if he carried on saying how well we played, and that performance matters more than results, and number of passes and possession are the best indicator of performance level, when you’ve barely created a chance all game.
People will see straight through that nonsense, and prefer a bit of honesty and an acknowledgment of what needs improving, when things aren’t going well.
If he can actually work on player position and pressing when out of possession, knowing when not to over-commit players, and better game management when in a winning position, he could easily do well.
His FA cup win indicates he’s better suited to one-off performances, rather than season-long consistency. Also international football for half-decent teams is geared towards very easy qualifiers, followed by winnable groups, and then KO competition against a pot-luck opponent – all of which I think suits Martinez getting a good run.
His tendency to make a team defensively worse over time would concern me if I was a Belgian fan, but if the players are getting properly (defensively) coached at club level, it could be that they retain the defensive side which Martinez admittedly neglects, while taking on board his attacking strengths of wide overloads, and getting 2v1s etc

“Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.”
Bit off topic but my god that part of the stadium looks awful.
That cladding hasn't half done goodison a favour

It's all coming out now.
That's sickening, tbh.
A man who loved the club and completely got it (wish we had one now) and gave his level best - which was easily enough for one season and not good enough for the other two - and you 'hate' and 'despise' him.
That says more about you than him, tbh.
