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

Moyes is without doubt an utterly terrible manager who failed here.

He also without doubt had a better league record as everton manager than martinez.

What does that say?

Martinez will get it right.

 

[Prevenger17]

It doesn't. He's judged on 18 months of tosh, bottom line.

If we do win the FA Cup, I suspect this will be revisited.

If Martinez wins the Cup he'll be a successful failure?

No, but our performances in the cups this season are good reasons to believe we can. I never felt this under Moyes

We reached three semi finals under moyes.

The second one, we beat villa, liverpool and boro to get there and we looked dominant in a way we haven't this season. I believed then.

Imagine how much praise Martinez would be getting if he finished 5th and got to a cup final beating Liverpool, Villa (when they were good) and United. Come home David.

And when we get to the FA Cup final you'll be back on the "In" side again? Fickle fans are the worst, pick a side and stay with it man!

I was never on the 'In' side.

Try again.

The thing is though, Martinez seemed to have the players galvanised against Chelsea, for some reason Arsenal were up for it today more than us, which is unacceptable, but today was down to the manager and players. Also,I do think our better players will be here next season, if I'm honest, the only who we might lose will be Stones, but he will go on our terms.

I hope you're right and it is only Stones, even though I'd hate to lose any of our promising young players.
Anyway only time will tell what will happen and hopefully it's for the better not the worse.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend

I was going to come out like a bull here, but you're probably right and time has just eradicated the memory of how it felt.

When he was hired, I said we'd drop 6 places in the league but have a good chance of winning a cup and I'd take that.

I still would.

Try again.

You're not allowed to celebrate our FA Cup win mate. I'm sorry.

Put him on the list, Elong.

Me too. Only for one season like. The possibility of a third season of dross worries me.

Martinez will get it right.

But when? From 5th to 11th to 12th and hardly win games in 18 months. When will he fix all these problems? Will there be a deadline on it?
