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

[Goat]

Deja vu.....all over again


Wasn't that the received wisdom round these parts at the end of last season

Yep, thats 1 reason I aint getting on that.

Hes had long enough.

 

[nsno-chris]

Correct. I just think he starts the season and gets until Christmas to show an upturn in League form.

Not a chance, another season will be lost.

See how far he goes in the cup, either way he gets the bullet IMO, with our without that old trophy. New season, new start, new faces

 

[DrEFC]

At least the international break means they'll actually receive defence coaching..

 

[blulouie]

But your basing all this on them performing at the top of their games and judging the Everton players on their current form.

Kante is better than Gibson, the rest of our midfield is far superior, same with Drinkwater and please dont try and tell me that Robert Huth has suddenly become Bobby Moore, hes an utter yarddog who is playing very well in a team that is performing way and above their standard.

Haha
This is were I agree to disagree mate.
Think you do Drinkwater & Kante an injustice.
Their centerbacks do exactly what they're supposed to do.
The only way we are Vastly Superior is Potential, and quite frankly my patience is wearing a bit thin waiting for some of our" Superior" players to realise that potential.
Stand by what I said earlier , statistics & league position suggests otherwise. Would Mourinho persist with with our "Vastly Superior players ?"

Similarly I can change my view if he shows something new before the end of the season. His team selections are a little too predictable. He has more options at his disposal than he is showing. Dropping Stones because of a media backlash hardly shows someone who is certain of his footballing philosophies.

It is not untrue to say we have been unlucky at times this season, but it has been generally and undeniably very depressing regardless.

We have been unlucky, we have our hard luck tales, just like every team in the league, but when something happens time and time again, at what point does it go from coincidence to normal?

That will be immediately coached out of them on their return to finch farm

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Great. "proud home record". Good to have but wtf does it get you?

...doesn't matter does it mate, not if finishing 5th is the same as finishing 15th...

 

[BoysInBlue]

Big increase in the OUT vote above.

Now two thirds want him out, up to 66%. Significant.

 

[Lee Smith]

It's just makes me sad remembering all the great away days we had during his first season, singing Roberto Had A Dream with heaps of optimism while genuinely believing that he was the man for the future to take us forward. What happened Bobby

Not just us mate, I suspect there are at least 10 other teams with better squads than them.

Its not just us who should look at them with much envy.

 

[oldblue]

Win the cup or not, it is the league that is a true barometer for the season.

Nobody at all is questioning the cup runs, we're questioning how on Earth we have the second worst home record in the whole of Europe and we're in the bottom half for a second successive season.

Everyone is questioning it. But when the answer seems obvious to you it could be you're not looking hard enough

we don't make that call mate

They remind me of Notts Forest when Clough brought them up (yep i can remember that)
Mixture of has beens, journeymen and players with a point to prove.
They were considered inferior by the Big Boys , history tells us they werent.

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

No he won't.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Guess who got 1/10? hahaha

Hahaha

I like Baz but the git's interviewed me twice after aways in the last couple of seasons and hasn't used the footage. To be fair, he's a damned sight more eloquent than me, but not as eloquent as Bobby !
