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

Dave it's not even that.

Second season running now in the bottom half. We've barely broken 40 points. 5 wins at home.

Two cup semis, great but it didn't lead anywhere.

72 points though.

Howard would have been chased out by social media and bedsheet protests back in the 80s.

You can be sure he'd have had some sharp words for the mob.

You're comparing Roberto Martinez to Howard Kendall?

What time does the vaulting start? As I wouldn't want to miss that like.

 

[quasi modo]

Oh, and welcome back @davek

Nice of you to pop back after a win.What did you make of that 4-0 embarrassment at Anfield? Or that pitiful display in the FA Cup?

What did he make of the "season defining week"?

...not great, not a sacking offence. If he did/does that with serious cash invested he'd deserve the sack, not prior to the influx of money.

As said, if he's succeeded this summer then that successor will get two seasons max in the job and if they dont get CL they're out. That's the territory we've just moved into.

Liverpool 37 shots on target. Everton 3. 67% possession v 33%. #footballtouchedbythegods #theentertainers #guntoagunfight

 

[dholliday]

some @chicoazul would be great too

 

[Boss_Blue]

That's my Sunday night sorted.

It's like he has been building himself up to this after downing 9 pints this afternoon in the local working mans club. Hell hath no fury like a pissed up man with a ranting to perform.

He's going to wake up on the sofa at 3 in the morning with a sore head and a wistful feeling of remorse.

 

[hktoffee]

Mid-table and two cup semi finals. Failure for Arsenal, Chelsea, United, City etc. For us it's a decent campaign.

Of course we cant have that though can we? Martinez didn't get a CL place and therefore 'must go' or lads will take to their social media accounts and boo and hold bedsheets up.

Lol.

2016 at Everton FC. Howard Kendall would have had his head in his hands.

Obviously that is not the reason why he needs to go.

22 wins in 73 PL matches since the start of last season and worst home record with 8 defeats are the main reasons.

 

[Coffee and TV]

Revealed the identity of this top manager has he then?

You can be sure any successor to martinez will NOT be a truly top class manager.

Pellegrini is interested according to Esk

....quite right. I waited until the victory that secures Martinez in his job to pop back in again.

Fantastic isn't it. Hope and expectation should be the bare minimum for an Everton fan.

I'm still alive mate, just checking in.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Defiantly

Howard wouldn't have tollirated 4 home wins all seasons and considered losing Semi Finals as a success

5 home wins lid, it's Champions League form.
