Roberto Martinez discussion

Khalekan · December 30, 2015

Everton: Six wins from nineteen games. SIX.

Or (if you have a different agenda)

Everton: Five losses from nineteen games. Five.

No point, Tigger.

These guys are after Catalan blood and have taken to trawling cyberspace to find articles from what Hull had shown to be extremely hypocritical journalists whom tickle their prejudices.

I really don't know what to say.

Never before have I seen a bunch of malcontented supporters traduce their own manager, one who isn't doing all that badly as it happens, in this fashion.

The fans of other clubs would circle the wagons and defend their manager in the face of such ill informed journalistic comment.

Not our boys......they gleefully reproduce it here and treat it with a reverence usually reserved for the Brian Glanvilles and Hugh McIlvennys of the profession.

It has got to the stage where an Everton defeat is welcomed more than a draw as it gives them more excuse for feigned indignation.

And I am being generous there....I think some of them actually salivate at the thought of a defeat so as to come on here and put the boot into Bobby.

They are a funny lot and no mistake.

I'm almost expecting A rawk type poem:

FI- FI -FO- FUM
I SMELL THE BLOOD OF A CATALAN CLOWN...............................................

But did he do it at Wigan? That is the burning question. Can't be having the 5 loses from 19 if he done it at Wigan. No way Jose.

I like the majority on here do not want to celebrate an Everton defeat or put the boot into ROBERTO, However I can see were he is failing and expressing my point of view which is shared not just on here but also in parts of the media. If you like him can't see it that is something you need to address. But don't criticize people for stating the obvious

One stat has a much larger bearing on league performance than the other though doesn't it? I didn't realise we'd gone from sin miedo to 'not losing'. Sadly the league table isn't particularly interested in how many times you don't lose, much more in how many times you win. Which is why there's three points for a win and 1 for a non loss.

Barkley has been further up the pitch most of the time scoring goals and assisting. My front 3 would be Deulofeu Barkley and Lukaku with if all are fit Besic on the left Barry in the middle and McCarthy on the right.

Barkley on the left of the front 3??

Barkley and Deulofeu free roles to seek out the ball and turn defence into attack. Simple really. We started with 4-3-3 against Chelsea.

That is what I don't get. Even when I no long wanted Moyes I still went and got behind the team. And if we lost it would hurt. But never in my wildest moments would I want us to get beat so I could have a go at him. I wanted us to win at all costs.

Maybe something has just passed me by in life and I've not noticed it.

There again I was always a 4-3-3 man. Spoilt by Catterick.

Hi mate, been busy for the past 1/2 hour....has what I put in Bold in the post above been confirmed tonight? Has someone admitted that they want us to get beat, in an attempt to prove that They were right about Martinez?

If so that's poor, up until 30 minutes ago I thought that was a pathetic attempt to wind up people who have a different opinion to yourself? But you have spoke with such clarity on that issue.

Could you shed any light on it please? Thanks in advance.

Individual perspective, yeah.

I think we should be doing better.

Rather, we should be conceding less.

hullefc · December 31, 2015

I am not taking credit for this but someone on the other thread defence pointed out that we have only concede 9 away from home. So we can defend. But have conceded 19 at home. We have won more points away from home than at home.

He won't be able to mate. 5 losses and 8 draws from 19 games! Wow! He even goes to all the games!!!!!!! (except, er, when he doesn't).

We've even just seen him suggest that Barkley plays wide left, cos, you know, it's where he is weakest but that's ok
