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

[oldblue]

I strongly disagree that there are fans 'gleefully predicting worse' from Everton. That's you're standard cheap dig from those who literally cannot handle how utterly utterly wrong they were/are about Martinez.

Okay so you must be pleased we didn't lose any places. Don't have to be happy with 12th but still it's good when things go for us. No?

You're right. I'm dissapointed in myself. I've been very silly and therefore want Martinez to stay.

Don't be. Sometimes you win etc.

Because Moyes first four season were all negative goal difference!

Did you remember when Everton signed Rooney from Man UTD for £28m and Rooney went on to take Marcus Bent's place?

Me neither.

What utter nonsense to buy into.

Why only post stats that support your argument? We certainly didn't leak goals when he joined either.

Seems to be a reluctance to address the point - are you RM in disguise? But seriously - are there some redeeming factors here I'm missing? Would be more helpful to highlight those. Guess maybe the argument is to give him more time? But I guess how long do you give him - higher expectations now surely wit the money available - need to retain the key players etc......

Of course I am pleased we didn't lose places, I'm also NOT pleased we have/are witnessing 6 or 7 PL games today without a sense of jeopardy riding on them with regards us.

I just think if you are going to make a statistical argument as you did you should be telling the whole story. Like that season we shipped 57 goals with a keeper who is viewed by most our best keeper since Southall.

if I were Van Gaal I would be setting up tommorrow to hit us on the break. Soak up all our early pressure and then
expose our defensive weaknesses, still unaddressed by the man in charge. Hope we win, hope Martinez can, and has practised defending the dreaded aerial ball in threat that punishes us time and time again. I hope he has seen what a lot of us can see, and has `managed` to do something about this. Will have to wait and see if he remains totally out of his depth in the premier league, or has a different plan up his sleeve.
Always happy to be wrong and eat lots of humble pie if I am wrong, but he is totally predictable. Lets hope this time tommorrow night Im stuffed full of humble pie

I cant believe that reading up the board some seem gutted we didn't drop a place in the table today.

Really? Is this what it's come to?

Depends what you're looking for. Stoke, West Brom results pretty good for us. Chelsea not so good.

That's utterly disgusting if true.

Could you name some posters who said that.

I wanna be able to vault them.

Please prove that some fans are disappointed the we DIDN'T drop places today.

Just in case you don't reply.

Yeah thought not.
