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

[davek]

Ah, I didn't realise people only become annoyed at Martinez in February.

I must have imagined the 12 months prior to Moshiri's takeover.

Not in these hysterical numbers.

It's a lynch mob running wild which has lost all perspective on what's right and wrong. A mass stamping of feet.

 

[TheFinnFan]

It's not 'yay for seventh' though mate.

It's yay we're not 12th.

winning mentality that lol

 

[Tubey]

Moyes, Royle, Lee, etc etc......

Ah, I didn't realise managers who inherited relegation threatened sides and NOT a side pushing European qualification were the barometer of success for Martinez.

I guess we should just be grateful we're still in the Premier League eh?

QUICK, MELT DOWN THAT DIXIE STATUE AND GET THE CATALAN GENIUS IMMORTALIZED AT THE GATES OF GOODISON!

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Indeed. We have a 33%/33%/34% win/draw/loss record over a massive period of time now.

You must be the most dedicated WUM I've ever seen.

Starting to think you may actually be Martinez.

I think that term would be generous. The side this manager took over and the side he's since developed are far from mediocre, so Martinez's performance is better typified by the term "terrible" at this point.

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

But if he finished 7th and won the cup would you keep him? Not defending poor results at home as this must improve but not impossible we do the above.

He has to show that he's addressing the defensive situation - if he does that then we'd all feel a lot better - if not then enough is enough. He has 9 league games to demonstrate that. We have money now - no excuse for mediocrity

Saturday 23 August 2014 felt an awful lot like Saturday 5 March 2016

 

[deipnosophist]

Sigh all you want mate, it's spot on.

The lynch mob has zero substance for its mobilisation, it's just a recently found sense of entitlement on the strength of moshiris millions and a belief Everton can now take a short cut to success with his cash.

No offence mate, but you don't half spout some fantastical nonsense. you just make things up on the fly...hilarious

You know what's happened between those 20 months mate?

Absolute footballing diarrhoea.

 

[Blue Cheese]

I'm drunk and I haven't changed my mind funnily enough,out lad

 

[Thomasc]

Since we beat Arsenal this weekend 2 years ago.

We've won only 24 games in 74 league games

If that is 100% correct, could somebody please let Mr Moshri know ASAP

 

[bring the ghost on]

i am, but there s no point of cheering about where you end up in between 7- or effing 15....it's all the same

Can't agree with this logic. 15th means you've been battling relegation, 7th means you're pushing for Europe. Huge, huge difference in those positions, not only in prize money but also in stature, attracting better players, giving the fans belief.
