Roberto Martinez discussion

How is it martinezs fault that lukaku didnt score...he had a chance to bury it...but didnt. It was the crucial moment and I knew it we would be losing it after that.

We were 2-0 up Finners, it shows how low expectations have sunk if we're expecting to throw 2-0 leads away every match.

We were 2-0 up mate. I think the fact you felt that way is damning enough isn't it?

Cannot fathom them subs for the life of me.

This is partly right mate. But.... Still his subs and inability to close a game down are they're for all to see. It's been like this for two years. And add to that a defence even tho it's been better recently it still can't defend crosses

It's obviously not his fault Lukaku missed the pen or the sitter. It is hus faukt that we completely go to pieces at the end of matches and can't see out a two goal lead.

He's a poor manager who makes poor decisions

Hopefully now we can afford to pay out his contract we can get rid

We can easily pay off his contract; contingencies are always in the budget fit worst case scenarios. I'd almost imagine it's in his contract that failing to meet certain targets will have consequences

I'll start by admitting I didn't watch the game,I was at work reading regular match updates so I put my hands up there-
Football is a game of momentum and being 2 up and then missing a peno it can swing the other way. What should happen is the reading of the situation because If they score we all know we will probably crumble. Bring someone on to break things up, foul and just defend,no need to play open. Please correct me if I've read it wrong as I said I didn't watch it.

From the same people who wanted him starting games despite being told he was unfit...then saying 3-1 wasnt a good result last week and Niasse should have been on for longer.

Now he comes on with us 2-0 up at home and because he was poor and we lost apparently we should have put an unfit Barry on the pitch much earlier and a shattered lennon should have stayed on.

Just people making up nonsense to bash the manager with.

Making it up?

He put an attacking player with practically no premier league experience on to the pitch when we should have trying to close the game down with 10 men. Not made up.

We're 11th in the league. Not made up

We have the worst defensive record in Europe. Not made up

Martinez knows what he's doing. Made up. Prove it if it's not

Yes he's got an eye for a player. What else

 

[DrEFC]

.....apparently 67% of our goals against have been conceded at home. We continually fail to manage games efficiently at home and away which is not down to confidence or attitude, it's down to poor tactical deployment.

I thought it was down to us fans? Us terrible, undeserving of Bobby's magnifice, fans. Or them disgusting players, unbelievable that a team full of internationals, cannot fulfil and follow Bobby's tactics. Sack them all I say, even the fans. Who needs three points when you can experience the emotional roller coaster of Martinez’s magic show?
I may still be pyar fuming about the result still...

Haha, dead on. I would love to see our team run by a GOT plotter committee for one game, see how we fare.

 

[loooweee]

I am hoping for some breaking news soon

 

[deipnosophist]

he'll give him a season won't he?

insanity...something 'bout doing the same thing over and over...

 

[Evertonized]

To be fair if it was 11 vs 11, then I would see why everyone was being so critical. But Everton managed to be winning until the 80th minute with 10 men... a very hard task against a team aiming to get into the Champions League.

Even before the match, people were saying we would draw or lose - so with 10 men, why is it such a shock?

If Lukaku scores the penalty we win. If we don't get the penalty, we probably don't go and lose. Him missing that hits everyone's confidence and gives WHU a great self-belief against a team who have been playing with 10 due to a reckless decision by Kevin (who should be sold asap).

I'm deflated as everyone with our home form and honestly, would like somebody else in as manager. But yesterday wasn't really Bobby's fault, we did magnificent to be 2-0 up for so long. Sometimes people just complain for complaining sake.

they always get that one season...

They would lose, pretty much in the same way we lose games with Martinez as manager.
