Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[marsh]

No mate the New Years Day game, aka the worst performance from an Everton side in living memory

Don't forget that 2-0 defeat at Stoke either that was dreadful.

Please turn it around Roberto

What do you want him to personally apologise for though. I'd be very interested to hear what some of you would have said to the questions asked. Not vaguely but specifically because that's the position he is in.
And let's remember you've more time to think and won't have people scrutinising everything you say for a negative

...mate, he's a professional, experienced football manager, well-drilled & media savvy...and he's had four days to prep his weekly presser.

He's hardly winging it...and he should be pretty certain what the questions are going to relate to.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

I'm making a point that this whole thing is ridiculous and fans need to grow up or just finally accept it's a soap opera that is being marketed and sold to them. It's not about the sport, that's merely the conduit for an entertainment industry because people keep buying in to this utter nonsense.

...do you like the X-FILES mate?

Yeah and that's why the press conference was bland as hell from my perspective. My response was to suggestions of what he should be saying

I'm simply not understanding what Baines has had to apologize for, proper wound me up that comment from Martinez.

How dare he speak up and vocalize what the majority of fans have been crying out for almost 2 years now.

Fully expect Baines to pick up a mysterious knock now and not be seen again for the rest of the season.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Baines spoke honestly. He wasn't misinterpreted look at penrice's column in the echo tonight. The full extract of the interview is there for a to see. He is only expressing what fans can see on a weekly basis. I see Martinez according to extracts on here is now blaming the 'hype' around our semi final for our poor league form. You just couldn't make it up, the man has lost the plot. Get joe royle and unsworth in till the end of the season now. I guarantee you will see some passion of nothing else.

 

[Caolam]

He said in his press conference that "the hype surrounding our semi-final win has affected our league form", that is a good excuse for getting beaten after the semi-final. What has he got to say about our form prior to the cup semi.
He seems just to be saying words.

 

[jinkyali]

This.

Rubbish.
Otherwise Rom & Kev would be getting fined every international duty.

He didnt say this really did he?!
Thats ridiculous if true.

What about when we reached the semi final of the league cup? How was our form then?

Beginning to detest the guy now.

Am I the only one thinking there hasnt actually been any hype? It isnt like we are that unfamilier with semis (uh oh) is it? Not like, er, a club like, say, er, y'know. Wigan, say. For example, say.

There's always some bleeding excuse.

1. The pressure from the fans.
2. The referee
3. The frame of the goal
4. Semi-final hype
5. Injuries/Suspension

They talk about their own careers. If they criticised the club then you can guarantee there would be a hefty fine at least

Who's had chance to build up any hype when since that match we've been getting beat and looking crap. Most of us are probably expecting to get knocked out in this form.

 

[GwladysBlue]

You can clearly under huge pressure now, he is cracking up.

The Echo being against him now will not be good for him, every mistake they will emphasise.

I honestly don't see where the next win is coming from.

Please.

Whats worse?
Saying they wish to leave for other ambitions or detailing reasons why they arent currently performing?
