Roberto Martinez discussion

[davek]

Oh behave, he took on the job knowing what the financial circumstances were like at the club.

What's that got to do with anything? It's a comparison of competency, nothing to do with finances.

Interesting to see the comparisons between managers.

Moyes Win Rate 42%
Martinez Win Rate 44%

Interesting when you consider the squad Moyes inherited vs Martinez.

and the directors of the club, who also know more than the manager...apparently.

I thats aimed at me, low blow mate! Not what I said. At all.

 

[orly]

I heard from a director it was all Steve Round's work...

And yet there it is, in print, from Tim Cahill, that it wasn't.

Fascinating. Care to name the director? There aren't that many of them at Everton.

On 6 January 2015, Round join Derby County as a part-time coach.

Played 24 Goals Against 15 2nd least in the League, 2nd place in the League.

...yeah, I think you're leaving out of the equation the name of Dutch Master Schteeve McClaren from that reckoning.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Neither of us have any expertise in organising a group of professional PL defenders how to defend, so maybe we should leave it to the manager...and the directors of the club, who also know more than the manager...apparently.

I'm not saying the fans know the solution to the problem. But it's worrying that the fans can see exactly that the problem is individual mistakes stemming from a lopsided, inbalanced, over the top aggressive system, but roberto seems oblivious and thinks we are all phenonmenal fs

Erm, David?

Take your pills.

I watch Everton to see us WIN, not to be entertained.
If in the process of winning i AM entertained then that`s the cherry on top of the cake.
Seems to me some posters on here are happy to see swashbuckling football and don`t care too much if we lose by the odd goal in seven every week.
Each to their own i suppose but to me that viewpoint is almost as delusional as the manager.

Then in that case you should have packed in going around 1986-87 with a brief trip back for the FA cup under Royle.

I'd like to, but my source will cut off all the info in the future. Suffice to say he was a feller who was utterly useless at getting cash into the club and building stadiums....I;ve probably given the game away there by narrowing it down for you. Sheesh!

Pretty sure we have won a few games since 95 mate.

Aaahhhh......but were they entertaining?

It read like you were saying he needed money to sort the defence out. If that's not what you meant then what you typed was actually even less relevant. It's part of a coaches job to organise a defence, which has bugger all to do with the undoubted incompetence of our board.

The fact that Bobby's comments about the defending and leaking of goals not being good enough show that comment to be a bit stupid really.

 

[edge]

I think its 20% tactics, 80% Howard.

Howard leader of the plotters?

Every Everton victory is entertaining.
