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

[eddy]

I can't wait to see the talent Martinez brings to the club with 150 million.

Can't wait.

2 Lukaku`s ....

Could be there by Saturday evening without playing mate but I think luckily Bournemouth, Watford and Swansea have tricky fixtures as well.

never expected to be relying on others games and results to be honest, 15th is shocking .....

12th is bad enough but apparently finishing 15th is no different to finishing 5th so it doesn't matter mate

Why are we defining Martinez' "achievements" in terms of Moyes?

Martinez must be compared to his fellow premier league managers, his peer group, and based on the last two years he is showing to be lacking, and not capable of competing for CL places.

Undeniable.

Lads on here were accused of knee jerking when predicting the doom to come as early as the Watford home game.
It now stands as one of our better home results. The shame.
(And the knee jerkers were right)
Our league table placing is the only important indicator of performance.

Why such a short leash? You wanted him out after last season. I just don't get the lack of patience.

 

[Khalekan]

am I right in thinking if we get nothing at United next Sunday we could be 15th in the table?

And your point is?



Round these parts there is a school of thought that says 15th is just the same as 5th

Welcome to the new age

It's all good, Mac

Do you want to know why? It is because Everton under Martinez have managed two league wins in a row only twice since April 2014.

I expressed my doubts about him at the end of last season and said I was prepared to give him more time. Well, 10 months on the situation has deteriorated not improved, hence my stance.

Welcome to the new age

15th with the prems 2nd highest scorer is in itself a sackable offence

No need to vault folks. Esk told me that at GP.

Disagree to an extent. Our attacking has been much improved year on year. I get the defence has been awful though. I guess patience is not useful in the instant gratification days we live in now.

Still doesn't explain the lack of patience in my eyes.

Would you not admit that he had improved us offensively since last season?

Why, with priorities now clearly in the GK and defence department, would you not back him to now improve and thus complete the final part of his rebuilding?
