Quote from the article from Martinez -

"We're delighted as Oumar is a player we've been following for a long time. He brings a real hunger and desire to be successful into what is already a strong squad."


And he defends his purchase in this one.
On the that second article I suggest you read the first line, beleaguered manager, I don't think he was going to say anything else in the position he was in with the owner!

But we are getting a really shocking level of performances and results, so I’m afraid that is what he will be judged on, like every single manager before him.
That's exactly what he should be judged on, but it's one excuse after another and Moshiri is buying it. Rafael clearly has his ear, so he gets a free pass every week.

I've no doubt it would take this club being in the bottom 3 before Moshiri cared about performances and results enough to do something.
 
Please don’t even consider comparing our current manager to Kendall.
If you want a more accurate previous manager to compare him to try Mike Walker it’s a much closer fit.

Why? Did Mike Walker ever win anything?

If you all want to get angry, feel free. Go ahead. It’s your life you’re making miserable. Maybe you all like being in a mad rage.

I just wonder where you all think this ends? If if you all get what you want. Doesn’t bother me mate…
 
News just in. We’ve not won a trophy under any manager this century mate. So maybe wind your neck in.
This is true and we’ll probably not compete for one for a while yet so in that case can we actually enjoy watching us play and have a team that plays semi attractive football in the meantime and actually take the game to the opposition.
Theres no hope whatsoever going into games now under him and without hope or belief what’s the point
 

We putting Benitez and Kendall in the same world? Really?

Because if we are, I assume you expect titles under Raffa when he "fixes" everything

You might want to compare the trophies won.

Up to you.

But you knew I wasn’t comparing managers. I was comparing situations. But you wilfully ignored that. Whatever.

Be miserable if you want. Feel free to have fantasies of the next Everton manager if you want. Moyes. Martinez. Pep, even. But the sooner you all face reality that getting rid of yet another manager now will mean 9 managers in 8 years. And you all think that will make us an attractive proposition for anyone who is talented is simply delusional.
 

He didn’t. He did however get Norwich to a 3rd place finish in the PL which is more impressive than anything Benitez has managed in his last couple of jobs, and unlike Benitez actually AVOIDED getting relegated from the top flight

Ooo. Might want to add a little bit more detail into those factoids though? I mean… up to you. ??‍♂️
 
The same players only conceded 9 goals from set pieces all season under Ancelotti Zat, under Benitez we're at 15 and counting...

I suppose we also had alot of injuries last year. My guess is that Davide Ancelottis system was so good that it aided us massively...no idea why Benitez changed it as it worked.

Just looking at our defenders though. On the pitch surely they can do better than what were seeing.

Its like none of them have defended a set piece before.
 
The thing that is most indefensible for Benitez is he doesn’t seem to be coaching the players tactically at all. Every single game we have the same issues from set pieces, the same lack of shape, and the same look of players literally not knowing what to do (I.e. to press, to sit off, who to mark, etc)

That to me says he is a bad manager who has no intention of finding a system to fit the players or changing his style. Worse when you consider this is a squad who until right at the end of last season were in European places.
