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

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I had to laugh where Martinez said the emotion of the derby got to Mori, hasn't Mori played in the big the River Plate v Boca Juniors derby.

Mate, I've been wanting him to go for years. I saw through him ages ago. And having thought about it, the people saying "Can it get worse" and talking about the atmosphere if he remains until the end of the season have a very good point, and are probably right. But the thought of being managerless doesn't make me feel great either. Every single news report will start with... Managerless Everton.

I concede it may be for the best, but it isn't an appetising prospect at all. It will make me feel like it's 1997 again but without the boss tunes.

Fair enough. I'd put Joe Royle in charge with back up from Unsworth, Ferguson and Sheedy, he'd be a better caretaker than Martinez would be a manager.

I honestly don't reckon the board are even contemplating the sack at the moment.

I was only 10 when Smith got the chop but how bad was the pressure on him? It seemed more like apathy to me at that time, whereas the atmosphere around the club now is just poisonous. The board need to act.

 

[JLW]

i actually don't know a single ambitious club who wouldn't have sacked him.

Far lesser clubs like Newcastle, West Brom, Stoke, west ham, all would of sacked him by now!! The club is taking p1ss out of the fans now its beyond a joke

 

[maccavennie]

Why would you do this to yourself you absolute masochistic glutton?.

lol its quite sad isn't it mate and I won't watch it all.

I am a red so know ill just get kicked but came on here to make a serious point. I was at the game tonight and we all know yous were fortunate to only get done by 4 but Everton were a shambles tonight and that has to be down to the manager with the players you have. There was no passion or heart and they are obviously not playing for him. I was shocked to hear on city fm that apparently duncan ferguson isnt allowed in the dressing room despite being on the coaching staff! Whats that all about?? He would have made sure you at least had some fight in you. I honestly want you to win on saturday and go on and win the cup but i cant see it after witnessing that performance. Id seriously sack martinez tomorrow and make duncan interim manager. He may have no experience but you can guarentee he will make those players at least fight for the shirt. Thoughts blues?

The whole thing is a shambles. It's as bad if not worse than when Hodgson was in charge of you.

Words like debacle and humiliation don't even begin to do it justice.

Our last win was a good one against Chelsea in the cup.

Our last league win was against a woeful Villa, where we didn't really have to break sweat.

Our last actual decent win in the league was against Stoke in early February. That's the last time I came away from a league match thinking we'd played well and got a result. We played well against West Ham, but still lost.

He'll probably still be in charge for Saturday, but I'm now at the point where if we beat ManU, I'd seriously think about sacking him to give the likes of Unsworth some time to spend sorting the defence out before the final because, currently, we're a complete shambles at the back.

The most honest interview he has ever done, and yet he actually said that.
The man really doesn't know what he's saying.

lol I've always done it mate, it makes me feel better to see parts of the game again lol I'm switching it off now anyway as I just wanted to watch the start and then how quickly we drop off, just to make sure I didn't imagine it.

Edit: one positive I can take is just before they score their 1st there is a little RS scruffy tit in a black tracksuit who looks like he's off to the bog and goes down the 2nd exit in the kop about 5 seconds before Origi scores.

How can this even be allowed? I don't think my anger has dipped from the final whistle.

In the words of Martinez, you're in your element.

When he came in he said the kind things we were craving. He talked of success and glory. Words we'd been deprived of for so long and we lapped it up. He's played us all with his garbage. Agree we cant be going down this route for our next appointment. Moyes was a necessity at the time and it worked out well given the resources. Martinez has no excuses given the resources he's had when compared. Need a winner now.

Here's hoping @The Esk is more ITK'd than he's letting on then
Don't think my cat can take another beating!!
