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

[TheHumbleEgg]

So, any thoughts from the presser then?

Nonsense. Your mate's views represent that. And as far as this poll goes I voted in because it's closest to what I currently feel. Would have been out last season. But neither opinions would have represented a demand he goes now or total support. If I was to guess based on the cross section of fans (match going and not) that I've spoke to there is frustration but nowhere near the strong feelings about the manager you are suggesting.

I have to disagree, my mates are also match going Evertonians and people are fed up and the fact he is polarizing the fan base so massively, shows that with the majority, they have had enough.

You would have voted out last season and yet 1 place lower and an equally frustrating season has you in the yes camp, bizarre train of thought.

Yes Lukaku is off
If we don't win the cup he needs to go I was behind him didn't want him getting the sack he needs to warn players about talking to the media ie Belgium ones and just say Rom your going no where end off

The truth is that Roberto could manage just about any club, but he's chosen to manage us and accepted a five year deal which he;ll see through to completion. He's ambitious and will manage in the CL one day, let's hope it's with us.

that's it, im done lollollollollollollollollollol

I think people are fed up but they've been miserable in the past. The big thing that's changed for me is expectation. And I think it's a bad idea to change out of frustration unless you've a clear idea of something better.
Last season I couldn't see any incisive play, any fight or passion on the pitch, and I felt he was too stubborn.
Now things have changed, we are more varied in attack. Some other faults have become more exaggerated but for the time being I'm not sure these aren't just the result of a manager left with an aging defence trying to rebuild it with an eye to the long term. Could be wrong but I'm happy to give him time while I'm at least watching players who can be brilliant on their day and we're not even close to a relegation fight

I was in complete agreement until just before christmas, I thought He was getting us back to year 1 form. sadly though we have declined and the odd game aside, it's much like last year.

I wanted him gone last year but got behind him for the new campaign but he has destroyed any belief or faith I had in him. He's not going anywhere now by the looks of it so a cup win would be a nice leaving present, because yes he is a decent cup manager, lost in the league.

...in the DOCS defence think he only fired that at the one poster in particular to make point, besides, isn't the Doc an 'offshore' blue himself, so to speak, so genuinely don't think any big offence was meant...

Look at that, I've just defended....if only our players were so quick to do so.

GROUCH...I'm oddly confident about SUNDAY...d'ya think I may be coming down with something?

Yeah I agree that even though we disagree about Martinez he is totally respectful of other fans and I'm sure wasn't meant in a bad way.

 

[quasi modo]

Well he is going the wrong way about it.

Seriously, I can't remember the last time I heard his voice. I have no interest in anything he says at all

 

[TheFinnFan]

In his words...Players have dissapointed him.
He is in dangerous waters with that comment. He either motivates them now or faces gradual mutiny.

....again though, it's just deflection on a grand scale innit.
