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

[USABlue]

Robles dropped for tomorrow also

it's to give Tim farewell homes games as the season is basically over. it's not really a "benching" of Robles (for performance reasons) and Robles will start the away games

Just shows how out of touch with the fans the club currently is.

Nobody wants to say goodbye.

Cant believe Martinez is using Howards farewell appearance, to deflect the supporters anger towards his ridiculous management of our club
and his see through philosophy ........... typical really

 

[EvertonRhys]

Great job there Rhys.

You forgot Goodison tomorrow though:

lol Classic one, right there.

Just thinking with Martinez saying Howard will play final 2 home games does that mean he is here until end of season?

He deserves a decent send off TBH .... he has been exceptional throughout his time....... he just stayed a couple of seasons as number 1 too long.That's down to Roberto though.

whether you like it or not, he's played 400+ games for the club, 3rd most clean sheets in EFC history, and most european appearances.

Hes still disrespected the fans.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Shows how amateurish we are that we hand out farewell appearances to Howard for purely sentimental reasons.

Even tho 99% of Goodison thinks he is a tit.....

 

[blueblue]

Tim Howard does deserve to play in one more home game in front of the fans.
He has been a good servant to the club and ten years at one club is now a rarity.

 

[eddy]

Pure deflection this from Martinez using Howard as a scapegoat, try get to end of the season unsacked keep his
ego intact for his job interview with `raith rovers` ..........

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Official site has crashed...


Think it's cos the Bellew fight has just been announced though.

 

[We'veGotTonyHibbert!]

I blame the board 100% and I am having doubts about Moshiri intentions for our club

Martinez is `manyana` about this he has gone for a `siesta` and does not know what all the fuss is about

in bobbys world all is fine and dandy, we pass the sexy football around like barca and results dont matter `phenonemal`

But majority of the time his football isn't sexy, it's boring and painful to watch and the ball barely makes it into the oppositions box, plus we end up losing or drawing bulk of the time, it's sexy when it works which is rare... so his theory and method is majorly flawed in my opinion... don't understand where people pull this sexy attractive attacking football that he apparently makes us play from but maybe that's because Moyes was such a contrasting parallel to Martinez that it gives that illusion to some...

 

[Ashtonian]

Playing our former number 1 for the past 10 years in a meaningless game to give him an appearance or two before he goes back to America and spends his time talking fondly of the club?

Oh no! What if he doesn't save something robles could have and we go out the fa cup again?!

Seasons over, doesn't matter if Martinez plays himself.

 

[ToffeeTim]

If the board were trying to suggest its only a small minority who are unhappy, then I suggest they read the responses to the renew your season ticket before 3 May tweet.......
