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

[ilikecheese]

Signed who he knew at Wigan - Alcaraz, McCarthy, Kone, Robles. Cleverley.

Signed who was high profile/well known, Lukaku. Eto'o. Barry. Besic (on the back of MOTM World Cup vs Messi). Deulofeu - Barca prodigy. Lennon...

Signed who was scouted? Niasse. McGeady. Mori.

Have I missed anyone? Holgate, Galloway, Rodriquez. Byrne. Stanek?

Do I trust him to deliver a return on any potential Moshiri early enthusiasm? Meh.

But it's the supposedly the best squad in beards.

I don't get it when people say this might as well say Spurs without Harry Kane would be midtable, Leicester without Mahrez would be bottom half and so on

Yeah, it's not like if Lukaku goes this summer, we'll play with ten men. We'll buy another striker.

 

[hktoffee]

We are likely to play Man Utd in the semi. We just played them today. Not confident if this team is keeping these kind of performance till the semi. Better wake up...

I think why it is said with Everton is because Lukaku is publicly angling a move, Kane, Vardy etc - aren't.

Standing by for Davek to weigh in with the "it's all Coleman's fault' gambit

But we did turn up against chelsea. I think the players have given up on the league but they'll play like tigers in the semi.

The media need to start twisting the knife in here. Any other club underachieving to this extent and it'd be open fire on the manager

Well that goal we conceded is 100% on Coleman...nobody else.

That would be true as well. There's a very real chance of us not having Lukaku next year though. If that happens and Martinez was to stay then we are in big trouble.

Because he's literally relying on one player to get him out of how bad a manager he is


Spurs win games regardless they'd still win games without Kane because they play as. Hard working unit.

we are no unit.

For anybody who thinks he is the manager to lead everton into the new era please look at his players efforts to win the ball back when 1 nil down in last 10 mins. A total lack of team effort and co ordination and commitment. They all stood 10 /15 yards off the ball. How can anybody defend him if he loses cup semi.

I remember a time when my pulse was sky high days before our games and possibly a week before big games like this. However these days I don't feel anything, I feel indifferent. It's scary, this manager is ruining our club more for each day that passes. Everything Moyes built is undone, our new manager will have to start from scratch. Martinez can't possibly survive much longer?

I think he's going to have to win the FA cup or have Rom publicly say if he gets fired I don't want to play here. I like him. He's a nice guy in a managerial fraternity full of unlikable turds. I think we've been unlucky in a fair share of matches too. However sooner or later the results are going to have to come. We have the talent, we have the depth, we haven't been hit with an oppressive schedule or injuries either.

Always wonder Kenwright misheard him. Champions League/Championship. It is possible

We aren't a big club in the eyes of the media so it won't happen. The only people questioning it are ex Everton players and they aren't doing it as much as they should.
