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

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It was a disaster. A horrible showing that started with the best intentions but ended up with the inability to get the basics right. We forgot to defend the box and gave them a soft two-goal lead. We got emotional with the red card and from then on Gareth Barry was injured and John Stones was ill, it was a chain reaction. A disaster. An impossible experience.

"It is a challenge [Funes Mori] that he should avoid. He got carreid away with the emotion of a derby, he got carried away. Probably a red card, I can understand it or maybe a yellow. The top and bottom is that we didn't cope with the emotions of the occasion. A feeling of embarrassment.

"It is a huge game for us on Saturday in the FA Cup which is the only good thing. We will be hurting for a long, long time but we need to react quickly for the game on Saturday. We are strong enough to react but we are short at centre-back now

And tonight's key word is "emotion"

Martinez is a narcissist...he won't resign.
But he does need to be fired.

Sit Bobby down and ask him to explain this, Jon woods. kenwright and Suntan Bob.

Im struggling to think of a performance this bad under Smith or Walker...

I'm lost for words now tbh. Numb? Don't know but it's not on. I'm not going anymore till he's gone

See you Saturday mate

How truly abysmal.

Shocking and embarrassing

The players not just today could have shown a bit more fight.

But it would seem they lack cohesion, spirit, ideas, confidence and they have little idea f what they are supposed to achieve under RM's managerial guidance. I guess in addition the players in truth have no respect for the manager what so ever. Hardly surprising from what we have witnessed in recent times such as the Baines fiasco.

RM has well and truly lost the players. There can surely be no doubt that for him to continue as the manager is untenable.

Should never coach in the Premier League again. He's THE biggest fraud in all of football.
