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

[Deleted member 28206]

What a come down from last week.Bobby does have credit in the bank for me after the two cup runs this season that will hopefully end up with us winning the FA cup come the end of the season.I want us to be more than a team that just does well in the cups though.I think all of us would agree on that.

Two cup runs, what? Christ on a bike.

Can we stop pretending Lukaka is not on our team. Things are bad enough without folks coming up with make believe scenarios that are even worse!!

Lukaka isn't
I know it's ifs buts and maybe's but nevertheless it's a scary proposition.

It's perfectly valid to suggest that if it wasn't for the fact that we have a striker who has a chance of lifting the golden boot, that we'd be in dire straits.

It's inexcusable now! Without Lukaku's goals we'd be in a relegation battle now.

Don't forget who brought in Lukaku, where he has turned into of the top strikers in the prem, and one of the hottest strikers in Europe, who is worth probably double what we paid.

Or to think about what would happen if clouds turned into cannons and reigned down hellfire upon us

Since september, we have won 6 league games. Six though.

I do not dwell in some delusional world where everything is "phenomenal", where we are all "in a good moment". Thus, I choose to not listen to a word R Martinez utters. But seriously, did he really say "today was a one off"?...seriously????

Cup runs for me are only successful if; a/ we win the thing and secondly b/ the cup run energises the league form.

Currently neither of those things has happened.

Just because Martinez can buy talent doesn't mean he knows how to get the best out if it.

I can send a grand on the finest food ingredients, doesn't mean I can whip up a Michelin star meal

Brilliant come back

I'm thankful for that! But how long can he dine out on that? It's not like he was an unknown quantity is it? We all knew what he was capable of.

On the flip side where would we be without him and next season we will probably will be

 

[barneygumble]

you are right of course. But in all honesty, I can understand the players lack of inspiration. I cannot listen to a word of drivel that R Martinez spouts. He's a bullshit merchant. How can he inspire them?
And their demotivation is out there on display, most home games.
It's a disgrace that we have such an imposter managing our club.

It's done.

I believe his BS, helped bring in Lukaku, Deulofeu etc... But i don't get how we can do so well away, yet be horrific at home? Surely they can't just be like 'Home today... lets forget Martinez'

Excellent analogy

Did he say we where phenomenal in defeat? Give him till the end of season, even an FA cup should not save his ass.
