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

[The Blue Watch]

You can stick your title Leicester, we got to 2 cup semis don't you know.

Took them ages to get to 72 points as well. Not impressed.

 

[davek]

I don't get this. Martinez had done great in his first term but failed miserably for his second and third season. This is regression and you still back him.

It seems you won't give a longer time to the new manager under similar circumstances?

Cash differences obviously. It's the reason Martinez is being ousted. It's the reason why the new manager will be more severely tested.

Simple as that.

This isn't a personal business. This is a results business.

Results haven't been there for two years.

This shouldn't be agonizing.

 

[Jamiednm]

Leicester will be on a 5-day party and we still won't beat them !!

We'll get ABSOLUTELY smashed by them because they'll all be playing with complete freedom, a massive spring in their step and backed up by a crazy atmosphere.

...not to mention that Martinez will be applauding them all the way. We don't stand a chance.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Innabit Brown Shoes. I want a title.

 

[davek]

Leicester win the title with 77 points. Spurs second on 70 points. Then people wonder why Roberto's first season total is underlined as a major benchmark for us.

We'll wonder no more.

72 points is the target for any new man with loads more cash. No excuses. Get them or frig off.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If an "ale house team", your words, can get more points, how impressive REALLY is 72?

We'll wonder no more.

And of course, completely irrelevant. Different seasons, different performances from teams all throughout the league.

Simple as that.

...think his ineptitude, lack of tactical acumen and gross mis-management comes into play a bit too mate.

Because Leicester won the fecking title and we came 5th.

It's not that complicated. You get trophies for winning finals or coming 1st. Not for semi final defeats and 5th place.

Dave I know you think that Everton are a great club. We should be winning things. 11th is not Everton.

Come on Dave.... LET'S MAKE EVERTON GREAT AGAIN.

A win against the champions on Saturday could be huge for Bobby staying on.

Agreed. Biggest game of the season for us. If we can beat them, Martinez will prove he is a better manager than their bloke. I just hope and pray our lads are in a good moment of their football...DO IT FOR BOBBY!!!!

Brown Shoes will drill us more on the line up for the guard of honour than our defending this week.

Honestly hope we get routed 64-0.

Even that'll be all over the shop.
