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

[Saint Domingo]

Can we just shut this thread, going round in circles, same argument day in day out

The international break is killing it that's for sure.

When that game in hand is at the pit mate, i don't for one hold out much hope of it improving our points total in the slightest

That game in hand is wherever we choose it to be as we've tough games and easier games same as teams above us and below us.
You said you only care about league positions. Well we're 12th at the moment. And we have a game in hand.

 

[oldblue]

Thing is mate we did have bad luck with the deflected goal, but how about after conceding that we don't concede another within 2 minutes - the second goal is the one that had people rightly annoyed as hell

same way the second goal against west ham did etc, the first you can say yeah - thats football - but then to concede again so quickly afterwards is the sign that the team just isn't prepared right at all

And I'm pretty sure Chelsea were annoyed about all of ours

 

[Ashtonian]

Game in hand at least on most around us. And great goal difference. But you're right we could lose every game and then I'd imagine he'd look very bad. Feel free to say told you so at that point, but I'd kind of hope neither of us want that happening

Im long past told you so mate, check out my posts over 12 months ago and everything i sad then about the manager is true now, even to the point of me asking what if we are in this position in 12 months....

Just tedious mate, I try and stay away but I'm bored and need something to read, was fun watching everyone bicker and go round in circles at first but after a while it just drains you, no new insight is being put in, just the same as bobbins it's the same spiel in a different format

 

[oldblue]

You're hanging on to one game, what about the rest of the stuff I mentioned. Ignore that, yep it's the easiest and focus on one game.

We've won 4 league home games all season and played some torrid football at times. Excuses below please???

We were discussing one game and whether luck can play a part.
We've played great football at times. We need to tighten up at home. Don't need excuses just as people don't need to deny any context to results

How far do you want me to check back on your 'right or wrong" status. It won't change the fact that I think someone claiming we are 12th to 15th is spinning rather than being rational

Toe curling.

It's been a futile two week rant from the usual suspects on here. In reality our club preoccupies itself day to day with matters quite unrelated to any fanciful notions of managerial change. Never mind though: 'the out votes on here have increased at a higher rate'.

lol...as if you have any clue as to what preoccupies the attentions of Everton Football Club at Board level. By all means, fight for your corner, but don't feign 'ITKism'...because you most certainly aren't in any advantageous possession of it.

I'm uncertain as to whether the question of R Martinez's continued managerial tenure might be an agenda item at Board meetings.

In my opinion however, it most certainly should be.

January to march mate. I dropped the common sense when chico started getting too excited because we beat newcastle (bottom 3) and QPR (relegated) and vaulted people for questioning why we were bottom half and struggling to win games..........

To be fair i gave it beyond christmas, i gave it 12 months and same old story.

(oh and 2 points off 15th isnt 'spinning anything, it is terrible form for a club with a 26 goals striker in it)

Tighten up? Do you think Martinez is man the man to get the players to Tighten up and see out games?

I don't, why would he suddenly change a habit of a lifetime? He is making the same mistakes as 12 months ago and all the same mistakes he made all the Wigan the only factor being he has better players at his disposal here so every so often all result might fall our way.

Ah right, what position on the board do you hold to know what they're discussing?

I dont. But I know the way Everton have hitherto operated and I know the relationship BK has with his managers, and midtable plus two very healthy cup runs does not get an Everton manager the sack.

You know that yourself. You just believe that because Moshiri has bought shares in the club that pattern will be erased overnight. And that's a massive stretch.

Basically all you have going for you on this is to combine with other discontented souls and scream into an echo chamber.

Hitherto speculation with standard pop at the finale.

Sweet Corn is in Season.

...this echo chamber trope you keep referencing; are you sure it's not you, screaming in your own personal one?

Dave's become quite the expert on the Board.

Martinez though eh. Needs to have done some soul searching in the last week and hopefully has read up on some good Football Autobiographies.
