Roberto Martinez discussion

[Boss_Blue]

The crowd didn't get beaten 1-2 by Swansea.

Did you not hear their rendition of 'we'll sing on our own?'


Beaten on and off the pitch today and that was all the fault of Martinez for injuring Besic and Miralles.

That was a not so subtle anti Martinez rant!!

Too subtle for me lol

 

[Huyton Layne]

The crowd were a disgrace.

Turning into bad Kopites.

Tbf they've paid large sums of money for season tickets to see 3 wins, 2 against fodder and a bunch of turd performances. To paraphrase the Davek, Everton are in the business of entertainment and are not delivering

For me, I've tried throughout last season and this one to be positive about Martinez, believing that he truly has a footballing philosophy, dream and idea of how the game should be played.

He's got a squad of very talented players, mostly with years in front of them so the potential to build a dynasty.

But, he's got us morphing into Wigan.

For the most part we play decent possession football, but we simply cannot defend.

He's been far too loyal to a goalie who is way past his best and in who, the rest of the defence appears to have little or no confidence any more.

He spoke last week about his anger and frustration over the Chelsea game and how Everton would now react in order take things into our own hands.
Well if today was the manifestation of his anger, heaven help us and heaven help us on Wednesday if/when a team like City with their galaxy of attacking options really goes for it.

There's no way in hell that Martinez can set us up to defend the first leg lead at the Etihad, and if we try to go toe-to-toe with them, it could get real ugly.

Sorry Roberto, but five home losses with a team of this capability is totally unacceptable and I for one have had enough.
Thanks for your efforts, but it's time to go, but BK and the board are too weak and inept to do what needs to be done and that is to relieve you of your position together with all of your ex-Wigan coaching staff.

If we had any real dynamism within the club, we'd be ringing Mourinho or Guardiola and offering/asking them to come and do a 'real' coaching/managing job in turning this talented and misguided squad into winners.

We won't do that and so fellow Blues, prepare yourself for a summer exodus.

Be honest with yourselves, if you were any of Rom, JS, Ross, Gerard and probably Seamus too or their agents, you too would be lining up the summer moves away from Everton and a coach who is losing/has lost the plot.

Excellent post

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right.

He's got to go now. Doesn't seem capable, with a diverse squad, of arresting this decline.

Bye Bobby.

 

[ianefc]

I still think he'll save us from relegation.

 

[bicycleheader]

A handful of good performances, an inflated reputation and goes missing for most of the season?


About £12million for Rodwell wasn't it?

I know that swap deals are almost non existent in football nowadays, but think about. We ship out ours to City and get in forty thousand City fans instead. I mean, they stuck with them even when they played down the divisions and I think this is the class of fan we should aspire to.

Big Martinez advocate but finding it hard to defend his logic right now. Bad day to be a blue. Hope the week gets better.

 

[Shagster]

I heard a great point today and it resonates with me hugely.

Our young kids are picking up bad habits; compare and contrast to the Spurs bunch.
We lack discipline and are naive.

I am a Martinez fan, appreciate his good but that has really resonated with me now and I am concerned greatly.

The most important question is who is there who could replace them and are they any better?

Just putting to one side who could replace him and set up a team properly - why is he good mate?

 

[Woolly Blue]

Everton should move to St Helens and bin these scousers off in the crowd

Stick to talking about Martinez in this thread please.

When your thread bans expire that is.

Yes, the City fans were so good that thousands of them didn't even turn up to the game a week last Wednesday.
Transport problems? I got there 20 minutes before kick-off having travelled 35 miles to get there and still stopping off in the city centre for a meal and drinks.
City fans have turned into spoilt brats in the last few seasons.
