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

[The Mighty Quint]

"You know the first thing I thought?, What a Manager..."

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I honestly hope we sack him this week. It is time to stop deluding ourselves and coming up with more and more absurd reasons as to why he is a good manager. He has been awful.
Please sack him before the next game.

Think even if the board were considering sacking him they wouldn't do it till the end of the season.

 

[Bobs]

At least we have a season and crack at silverware...how many other clubs can now say the same?

kin moaners on here.

Stop your bellyaching and get behind the team.

Crystal Palace, Watford, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Man City, Man utd, Leicester.
Question is in what direction is the club going? Ask Lukaku. He doesn't seem as excited about it as you do. Wonder why that is? I hope he's not busy looking at that irrelevant league table...

 

[nsno-chris]

Err, stay on topic you.

It is on topic, what's the answer

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Won half of one, on a positive note.

...it's all about the fine margins with him though innit.

 

[quasi modo]

I need to hear an argument from a Martinez supporter. I mean I cannot see how you have watched us pass the ball sideways for the last 2 seasons, with no invention or movement, and can see him turning this around. Not only that, but you want to give him the only decent money we have had to spend in years. I honestly want to hear it. It's based on what? I mean what glimmer of light are you seeing?

The thing is, we can't even pass the ball sideways lately, the football is dire to watch.

 

[koolblue77]

Kind of unnecessary taking shots at a fellow blue for having an opinion that differs from yours. Allezfan is one of the long standing top posters around here.

A bit like you with Rhyl blue on the Rodwell thread!

Double standards much!??

 

[roydo]

What's your point? He did sign Lukaku, Deulofeu and Lennon. He's done a lot to develop Barkley who, last I heard, has more assists than Delle Ali, who'll probably win Young player of the year.

We're in the bottom half of the table, so of course if you magically take away our top scorer's goals we'd be in a worse position.

You could do a similar sum for any team in the world and the hypothetical situation would be worse.

Be an interesting job that.

Not sure many clubs have had a record breaking striker and still managed to drop from 5th to 12th mind.

 

[hktoffee]

How did it go earlier in the season? 'We're only three wins from being 6 points from fifth, I call that a very decent season so far and when we 'click' we'll be comfortably in the top 7 mark my words'

It doesn't even matter now mate we are in the sflol. Their new excuse will be the sale of Rom. Rebuilding forever.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Needs nine points - three wins, or two wins and three draws - to even match the desperate nature of last season.

With away trips to Anfield and the likely league winners.

That's interesting. How many points did we have at this stage last season?

 

[Jamiednm]

Didnt think we could get any worse, we actually are. The thing is we as fans pay a lot to watch the blues, home and away....46 quid for today, and the players cant be arsed. He is reponsible, he manages the team and can see what we can but does the same thing week in week out, the quicker he leaves the quicker we can move on

I wouldn't say the players can't be arsed. I just think they don't have a strategy or strong direction, and that comes down to the manager.

 

[orly]

That's interesting. How many points did we have at this stage last season?

Not sure mate - I think we were 28 points from 28 games

 

[ilikecheese]

A bit like you with Rhyl blue on the Rodwell thread!

Double standards much!??

All I said was no.

 

[Groucho]

Let's be honest his record on semi finals this season isn't impressive either...

Yep. There is no guarantee that we'll win the cup.

 

[parksey69]

There is no way he will be sacked with kenwright still on the board. We would need to be final 3 with a couple of games left for him to be sacked.
