Roberto Martinez discussion

[LAToffee]

Not sure what it is but there is a serious fundamental issue playing at Goodison. Our away form whilst not picking up loads of wins we've only lost 1 away game I think. We have now lost to Swansea, Stoke and Leicester at home. That was simply unheard of a few seasons ago. The moody crowd isn't helping but Goodison is always going to be a reactive crowd, not a proactive crowd, and for nearly 3 seasons now we've literally had nothing to get excited about at Goodison. If we crash out of the cup on Wednsday then this season is another complete and utter waste. Whatever I'm just rambling now, I'm not even angry after that defeat, this type of game/performance is becoming the norm and if Martinez isn't careful he won't be able to find a way out of this situation.

Great post

Oh hey Chris, did we lose!?

Hahahaha you do realise i was on here all yesterday afternoon don't you

Carry on and please explain the reasoning for keeping him?

P.S. your buddy has been thread banned so no back-up when you start getting rinsed

I would not be surprised if this happens.

When we get beat on Weds, then the reality of where he's taken us will truly sink in.

Nearer to the relegation spots than Europe and with a defensive record that is utterly disgraceful.

Today was a massive game for me, as a win put us back in the hunt. But we've rolled over to an awful Swansea side at home and all of the inadequacies of Martinez style and team selection were frighteningly apparent.

He can't be blamed for losing Mirrallas and Besic so early on, nor Seamus Coleman from missing from under the bar, can we really blame him for Stones' poor back pass?

The one unforced substitution was a positive one.

We've got a semi final on Wednesday, he needs to really get the players up for that, everything was flat today.

Just no shape or system today mate, I still don't know where Cleverley was supposed to be playing.

Are people seriously proposing having Moyes back?

 

[CWP1956]

Given it is extremely unlikely that RM will find himself out of a job, how can he be convinced to compromise his principles? It's all very well saying "I'll never compromise my principles", but when the defence is as slipshod as ours, and we are heading towards the bottom, it's time for an injection of common sense and time to go out and find a good defensive coach. RM doesn't care about keeping a clean sheet. it's time he did.

Sorry.... after we go out on Wed..... He has to go !
Ironic that it may be down to Robles to save his job.....

 

[ianefc]

That's a pretty big percentage. Especially from nearly 800 votes and from a very Pro Martinez Twitter page

 

[diggerdestroyer]

What did he do wrong today? He fielded everyone's dream team of Deulofeu, Besic and Mirallas and injuries scuppered it. Individual errors are killing us, we were set up just fine.

Everyone's dream team ..... He picked howard....

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I would not be surprised if this happens.

No chance mate, I think Moyes burnt his bridges with Kenwright.

 

[mightymoyes]

Just signed a new deal at Town mate. Missed out again!!!

(He celebrated with a 3-0 defeat at Birmingham...bad weekend for the Smiths)

gary rowett a far better shout than mccarthy!

 

[TheFinnFan]

He knows it himself that if he fails at Etihad he will lose the fans backing. Kenwright will back him though. Players are the ones who decide his faith.

 

[Greek Fisherman]

Spot on.

When we get beat on Weds, then the reality of where he's taken us will truly sink in.

Nearer to the relegation spots than Europe and with a defensive record that is utterly disgraceful.

The only way I would allow this man back into Goodison Park if it was to advise RM on how to setup that workman like defensive unit, what we seen in the first year which was obvioulsy a mixture of both attacking ideas brough by the catalan clown and the never die attitude of the ginger

As a manager not a chance
