Nobody thinks results are any better, even after Chelsea. But look on the bright side, we have a savage squad and a more than decent chance at winning silverware for the first time in 21 years. Now is the time for positivity, more than ever.

We have been dealing with lowlights for over 20 years. At least he's proven that he can actually win a pot.

At the expense of the league. If he wins the cup great. A lot of mangers have won the cup who you wouldn't consider good managers and wouldn't want at goodison.

We have a savage squad but are in the bottom half for the second year. Surely you see the contradiction here.
Meh...we've been crap in the league for going on 30 years now. One fluke top four finish that resulted in squat.

So we won't worry about the league anymore.
Honest question. Whats the lowest level for that. Relegation OK if we win a cup?

46 is he? I doubt he'll be the same manager when he's 66, if he's still in the game obviously. His positivity comes from the Sports Psychology courses he's taken or adopted. To be fair it's rife in the modern game, not just in football either. It's all for the benefit of the press and supposedly the modern player. But that's a different discussion.

But I mean in the 7 or 8 years I've seen him in the prem his team's have played the same way. Attacking football at the expense of the defensive side
Of course we do, and any threat of relegation would be met with swift action. We have been nowhere near it for about a decade.
Not really. I've outlined my belief at length in the Lukaku thread that sheer talent is obscuring a lack of synergy in our team. We're often great for 70 minutes and tripe for 20. It's a question of seeing out those 20 minutes and I think we're one or two players away from it. Roberto is certainly not blameless, but there are a few players who need to have a look at themselves too
At the end of the day I'd trust the late great Johan Cruyff in his assessment of football managers than I'd trust the angry self loathing bad beak on here who seek to spread hysteria.
Cruyff understand the beautiful game of football and was fortnight in his opinions. I have no doubt he would have appreciated the work of Señor Roberto Martinez.
Pipe down at the back and get back to your world of doom and gloom.

We're 12 points off it on a season where the safety point looks like being a lot lower than the magical 40 points.
Closer to relegation than Europe.
If the bottom three weren't so very poor we'd be a lot closer. especially considering 5 of our 9 wins were against them
Classy mate, using somebodys death to point score.
I bet Amy Winehouse thought he was crap tho.

I attack no one but those who are wrong and spiteful in their approach.
RIP Cruyff. A friend and advocate of Martinez.
But it's not good enough for you Lol.
