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

[bluewally]

The quality of our squad, our ability to score goals and the fact that results have not been reflective of performances.

Like I said, this is a subjective assessment. Any statement about the future is.

It's the same with predicting whether a young player will make it as a pro footballer. 1% are so brilliant they definitely will, 80% are so terrible they definitely won't, leaving a sizeable chunk in the middle of "you never know". For me, as a manager, RM is currently in the "you never know but definitely has potential" bracket, the man won the FA Cup with Wigan vs. Man City in the final for God's sake! He also got us 5th in his first season. It's just about consistency now, same is true of our players.

Honestly I don't think there is a big mismatch between performances and results. We've flattered to deceive a few times but for the majority of the season our performances have been average

Not sure? My math is bad, but 72 is the magic number.

Problem is, I stopped watching after August in both seasons

 

[blulouie]

Hopefully we will get 72 points.

Yawn....gettin late quasi dont for get to change your clock tonight.

 

[Groucho]

I think you're right on both points. The landscape has clearly changed. And hopefully the boards expectations will start to match those of the supporters. The targets set for any future managers of Everton will be higher than previous ones.

They can't be set higher than previous ones unless you mean "win the CL".

They can equal the league and cup winning managers, but only top HK with a massive trophy haul or the CL.

 

[loooweee]

Is this the new under the mask martinez thread

Think Martinez did as well.

I am not sure what your point is or how it relates to Roberto Martinez, mate...

Just funny that you're only posting about this, that's all. I have a suspicious mind!

My clicks automatic mate, pity our points aren't.

 

[blulouie]

Quite. We had a top striker and we wasted him.

He'll be the best in the world one day.

Might score the winner at Wembley (twice ) so bit early for that prediction.

 

[DrEFC]

All about the finishing positions mate.

No one ever won the "4 games to go" trophy.

Have you not met our neighbours?

 

[blulouie]

My clicks automatic mate, pity our points aren't.

What points that fella ?

 

[bluewally]

With his scoring rate we should be challenging top 4 especially this year

Wasted

Are we in the final? No.

I appreciate the semis are at Wembley, but......

Let's not count our eggs and that...

 

[Groucho]

Have you not met our neighbours?

No, they won the "top at Xmas" trophy.

Yet they still mock our 7th place cup....

 

[quasi modo]

What points that fella ?

It's all in the past.
