1 thing is for sure it certainly is nowhere near a question of him sticking with us, very much the opposite in fact.
If we start winning I'm willing to change my stance.

And that's down to his stubbornness to play total football. It's crippling us. He won't change his methods either. People within the game know that too. Only one way he thinks the game should be played.

Do think strikers can have off-days even when fit. It's the one position you have to mix up. The fact that Kone is now are only real option leading the line is not good. I'm not a Martinez critic, but we need a plan B when Lukaku isn't working.

There is no plan B, let alone C or D.
We set up the same every match and generally start slowly and get better as the game progresses but I certainly don't enjoy watching us.
People forget he wasn't most fans first choice and once again I believe we settled for mediocrity when appointing him.

Don't agree. He has to get us to the end of the season. An interim could see us nosedive into relegation.

It is disappointing. I will give him some credit as he's massively reduced the age of squad, found some real gems and genuinely looks like there's a clear individual plan for every young player which is working to produce some great young talent. But no good doing all that if he can't get the most out of the 1st team. If he doesn't learn how to diversify his own tactics, we are destined for mid table football.

That is true and fair comment. Perhaps he doesn't surround himself with strong enough/confident enough personalities to persuade him to consider alternative tactics.
That said, appoint him as chief scout!
So could Martinez, he's got form in this area.

April 2015; Europa League; The Blues this season played in 10 matches and progressed to the round of 16. They won roughly £2.25million in award money, plus a later cut of the ‘market pool’ for television rights.

I will give him till the end of the season but then he needs to get the squad firing on all cylinders -
there seems to be issues in the camp - some key players look disinterested -
if the players don't want to play for Martinez they are putting themselves and the club at risk -
i just don't believe the players should pick or fire the manager like they did at Chelsea -
The problem is that the manager can not get rid of uncooperative players because they earn more than him - and it will cost the club more -
Some of our senior players are not pulling their weight every game -
if Martinez can not sort that out - he should go - but that will leave us in a sad state of affairs - ala Chelsea

Which players look uninterested?
Some certainly looked jaded on Sunday - which doesn't bode well for Wednesday.
I hope that they are all tucked up safely in bed.

Because they'll all be clamouring to sign new deals after this season... As for Martinez? Where's he going? Everton will be as good as it gets for him.
Moyes got the time he did because he actually did a very good job. If Martinez starts doing that then I doubt anyone on this board would have any qualms about him sticking around.
Sacking an under performing manager after 3 years is completely fine in my opinion. That's more than enough time for him to get the club going in the right direction.
