Roberto Martinez discussion

[Shagster]

Martinez is a coach not a manager. He need to accept that. There is so much more to management than he realises

 

[Boss_Blue]

Said it in the match thread, whisper it quietly but we are in danger if being sucked down into a relegation battle of sorts

Lose to Newcastle next and we need to start looking over our shoulders a lot more.

Nope.

crap last season

some very good stuff this season and the team has the fight in them to keep coming back from behind.

some awful defending at times, but should be remembered we were without Baines and Jags and playing with two very young defenders and one just new to the league.

cant agree with him on not giving Robles a chance in the league. or on us not pressing as a team.

not generally had much luck with injuries. its a factor but not the biggest one.

i still love watching this team and look forward to each game more than i have done for many seasons.

we are messing up some games like today but in others not getting the results the performance deserves.

we are not going to explode and cease to exist as a club by having patience with the manager.

overall. hoping for better and still fully behind the boss.

You know if we had a different manager we'd still play good football with this set of players but we'd also actually win games?

I just can't fathom this belief we're actually doing well but we've been unlucky.

We drew

good point, just felt like a loss at the time

 

[Scolari]

Getting very difficult to defend Bobby now I'm afraid. Always believed he could deliver on his top 4 promise. Starting to think he is just too unwilling to acknowledge his own shortcomings to get past them.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Moyes is fav
Ferguson 2nd
P Neville 3rd
AVB 4th
Id go with Laurent Blanc at 33-1
Odds off PP

I still see progress in amongst all this, I can see the future Bobby is trying to map out for us and I'm happy to wait until next season to bear the fruits of his labour. We just need to get behind him and look long term.

De Boer , Schubert , Moyes , Howe , Bielsa , Sampoeli even Benitez would do a better job than Martinez and thats without me working in the industry and doing any research

Rodgers would do a better job although I'm not saying I would have him.

He's got to learn that if the way we're set - up isn't working, then he needs to change it, the problem is he doesn't.

Not on topic. By the way did you go today?

 

[carolinablue232]

What are the board's expectations for him? 3rd full season here, and we're likely to finish around 10th in the most open league in years. It's not good enough. I like Martinez, but persisting with a failing solution isn't exactly inspiring. He's been backed more than Moyes, and he's still not getting even equivalent results.

That sounds like a post I'd expect from Moomin

 

[sd_1992]

There are a host of managers out there who would love the Everton job and do a far better job than Martinez

I think you will find that there are apparently no managers in the entire world who can get us higher than 11th... certainly sounds legit...

You know the girl you went out with after you split up with the long term ex, totally different to the ex and exotic. The honeymoon period was great and she showed you many new things . You start having nagging doubts though when you argue over the same things...its getting that way for me with Martinez.

If those mistakes that have led to opposition goals are still apparent by the end of the season, I'll want him gone, because it'll be conclusive evidence he's not prepared to change.
