New Everton Manager

[Gilbert..]

Has he proved it at international level. Failed miserably at the World Cup with the best team.

dunno about failed miserably. Lost in the semi final to the eventual winners france. They've got good players but they've had good sides before and never really done it.
Its not easy. Your germanys france italy spains etc are always just as packed with good players and more importantly masters at tournament football.

I think we should make an approach to David Moyes now that the contract is signed.
Offer him a million dollars,
Put the ball back in his court.

 

[orly]

Can we just concentrate on how crap Nuno is please rather than Martinez please buddies

It’s not a myth. It is a fact. Fair enough, McCarthy and Barry were good signings, but not transformative. The transformative signing was Lukaku, and he landed on our lap.

Don’t forget how great Steven Naismith was that season either.

It's an utter myth.

Yeah Martinez got more out of Naismith than Moyes did.

Belgium man for man are a better team. France was seen as an average side, while Belgium had great players on virtually every position.

What has Hibbert got to do with its? He had lost his place to Coleman. And Stones only had 15 league starts that season, so it’s not like he was the main man off the bat.

Gerry had nine league starts, while Miralles was much more of a feature.

It’s not like Bobby came in and transformed the team. We had played great stuff the previous season.

Remember though, we lost Steve Tashjian, which was a major loss. I think he left at RM's first season. Fitness levels went to pot then.

Reckon that's why he bought Shani Tarashaj because his name was vaguely similar so he reminded Martinez of him?

He was a Moyes signing mate.

Looking back at previous managers apart from Ancelotti and Koeman no ones really been a fantastic candidate and we have to look back to 95/96 and Joe Royle doing the best job for 26 years with a 6th place finish and FA cup. Wouldn’t of been my first second or even third choice but can’t deny he’s done a decent job with wolves did fantastic to get the likes of Jimenez mouthino and Patricio to sign. Need to be realistic we was lucky to sign such a big name as ancelotti we’ve done nothing in years he couldn’t do anything so let’s give Nuno a chance

 

[Lewism]

24 signings in total.

Niasse Mcgeady Kone Alcaraz Tarashaj Stanek Leandro Rodriguez, Sam Byrne, Etoo, Robles, Cleverley, Galloway, Funes Mori, Bassalou Sambou, Lennon, Henen, Hunt, Foulds - 19 players who were either complete toilet or offered nothing to Everton.

Lukaku, Barry, McCarthy, Deulofeu, Holgate - 5 players who were successes for him but that’s stretching it tbh for the last four names even though I like all of them. Barry and McCarthy had one good season for us then McCarthy got injured and Barry fell off a cliff. Deulofeu and Holgate were/are hot and cold.

If he hadn’t have bought Lukaku he’d be up there with Koeman as the worst manager in Everton history for transfers. Even with Lukaku, part of the reason the squad is in the state it is today is because Martinez gutted it completely replacing decent players from Moyes squad such as Fellaini Naismith Jelavic Oviedo Distin Osman Pienaar with complete and utter pap.

Great post,even Davek would have trouble defending those stats.

Oh AND btw HE WAS PROBABLY THE BEST FITNESS COACH WE HAVE HAD IN YEARS.

oh he’s crap and then some,

we’re crap and I don’t give a crap and I’m coming on here to moan we’re crap

Wouldnt argue they had a great side. But france weren't average. France were most bookies favourites for a reason.

 

[matty1878]

If he gets us into Europe couldn't care less if he turns up in a clown suit.

and if he doesn’t will you then call him a scruff?

It’s not a myth. Martinez was better because he had Moyes players rather than his own.

However, he is doing a decent job with Belgium and people saying he’s flopped there are talking nonsense unless they bomb this tournament (unlikely)
