Yep Pochettino has done well, from the moment he arrived at Southampton he's looked the part. Billic? Nah. He's done ok so far but we'll see long term - he may have signed a new contract but I bet Payet does't stay till the end of it. Koeman? Yeah he's done oright, but I wouldn't say he's ripping up trees. Hughes? Cmon they've signed some names and they've stopped hoofing it to Crouch, again he's doing OK nothing that special.

Koeman was one of the favorites for relegation after a load of players were sold. Think he's done great.
Hughes has improved Stoke though which is all I was on about.
Bilic I agree. Need to show it over more than one season.
Pochettino we agree on.

So Pochettino and Ranieri this season then? Even Pochettino's predecessor Redknapp got that side into the CL - so it's not like he's worked miracles like Ranieri has.

You ignore the rest of my point. What manager in the premier league took their team down 7 spots and kept their job with no negative differences in finances in the history of the league?

It's not utter turd though is it? Our home form has been turd admittedly, but we're widely thought of as one of the more exciting attacking teams.



'Bainaar' were a great combo and all our play went through them because of it. Andy Johnson was ok but rarely was he 'dangerous' and Yak cost a fair whack to be fair, though he was good especially that one season. But Martinez bought Lukaku with money he made selling Moyes players (mainly Fellaini) and he had enough about him to persuade a big talent to join us. Lukaku would never have left Chelsea for a Moyes Everton.

Great to have another Bobby supporter on here. I'll introduce you to the three or four others on here. We're a small but tight crew.

To be fair, he's pretty much correct about everything he has written, which are the positives about Roberto Martinez.
We have practically all of 862 pages of his negatives in here to read about.
 

There's been some genuine laugh out loud moments on this thread. Polar extremes, insight and generally I think it's shown, what educated supporters Evertonians really are.

Whatever you think of forum members opinions, there has been a valiant defense of Martinez's reign, as well as a superb critique. One thing is for sure, in three weeks we will all be standing side by side. Like family really, disagree when we're together. As one, when confronted by others.

You mean escorting Bobby to the limo?

If he wins us the FA Cup, I'll pay for the limo meself. 21 years is a long wait. If he wins us the cup, who'd begrudge him the applause. I keep saying he's a 'cup manager", he is what it says on the box. Don't blame the man, blame Kenwright, he hired him.

Strength through adversity, ever heard of that? Martinez has been taking a lot of stick recently, who knows maybe it's made him a better manager. The criticism has been justified to an extent, if he can add defensive steel to his repertoire, he'll have Evertonians to thank for it.

Didn't he have the defensive unit sorted out in his first season, why does he need to sort it out again?

2nd season teams pressed the full backs...

Hes played Deulofeu to change from attacking via full backs to wingers....however has no left winger and no defensive quality at full back.

Needs to change the players.
