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

[onlyme]

Hang on statistics can be misleading. 34 attempts on goal...... Well if the opposition camp on the edge of their penalty box it's easy to fire shots at goal. Quantity over quality.
Bobby failed tactically, despite the quality we possess.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Again, down to the players. Get in dangerous positions and fail...how is that martinez's fault?

I can't believe I'm having to point something this obvious out, tbh.

And I can't believe that you are defending Martinez after yet another home defeat against a crap team.

Dave, I can't wait for you to be back in the other thread, I'm hanging out my arse, I can't do it any longer.

Just hold a mirror up to them, they'll soon run away in horror.

Couldn't agree less.
Ignoring Mirallas and Niasse in favour of Kone and Osman is bad decision-making.
Sitting in the Park End, I was more troubled by our "chances" than Foster was.

Niasse wasn't even in the squad today mate.

Suppose that made him easier to ignore like.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Ultimately our home form is so far short of acceptable that its embarassing. It's frightening just how many no mark sides have strolled home from goodison with the points this season.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Suppose that made him easier to ignore like.

Well, that's the ultimate way to ignore him, I suppose.

 

[davek]

It was 34 shots, most blocked, few on target. Their keeper didn't make one really great save. And we had little in terms of clear cut chances. The stats are massively misleading. Like many other games this season, we faded badly in the second half. Not helped by nonsensical substitutions.

Again, tell me how all that is down to the manager. You say the subs didn't work and yet we were still creating.

 

[chicoazul]

Well, that's the ultimate way to ignore him, I suppose.

Hahaha. I was wanting him brought on too like until I noticed right near the end.

 

[davek]

Spot on - most on here are talking frustration rather then logic. I see the only gripe today being the subs decision.

The manager must be attacked at all times....the forum chairmen who determine nothing say so.

Btw, where have they been the last couple of weeks?

Funny that.

And who was shooting, Martinez or the players?

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Well, it certainly wasn't Mirallas or Niasse was it?

 

[McBain]

This putting players on posts thing is clearly rocket science.

You said we laid siege to their goal. I don't think we did as we didn't really create that many clear cut chances, or test Foster much at all.

 

[davek]

Well, it certainly wasn't Mirallas or Niasse was it?

I wouldn't have Mirallas anywhere near the bench never mind the pitch. He's finished at
Everton.

Dave, I'm afraid you're right about him being finished at Everton.
Kept out by the brilliance of Kone and Osman.
