Roberto Martinez discussion

[blulouie]

What's wrong with that, surely it's a natural state for an Evertonian to despise Kenwright ?

Ah but is that "proper Evertonians" or some other type of Evertonians

 

[The Equaliser]

Yes, great analogy. Comparing refuseniks who risked everything to battle against an oppressive regime with a handful of bedwetters who are pissing in their jim jams over being 12th in the Premier League.

Nope. Comparing your dismissal of the views of anyone who is not a 100% believer in your hero to that of a dictator.

 

[Catfish Blues]

Out of interest has Martinez ever used the term "Philosophy" when describing how he believes football should be played?

Yes, he has

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/549478/Roberto-Martinez-Everton-Philosophy-Long-Term-Success

“Knowing what your football philosophy is as a football club is important and our philosophy is one that represents Everton from the 1930s, to the great years in the 60s, to winning the titles in the 80s."


From http://www.grandoldteam.com/2014/01/09/roberto-martinez-speaks-to-grandoldteam/

“When I started managing I started at Swansea, when I took the team it was a straight lines 4-4-2 and it took me six months to change the philosophy and become a possession team. When I went to Wigan because of obviously the financial implications that we had it took probably two and a half years and five transfer windows to be able to change the whole style and be effective with it, at Everton it took me seven weeks,” he said."


From http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/...-premier-league-podcast-interview-140514.html

"Ross Barkley – everyone knows that he is a unique talent. I'm looking at James McCarthy and the way that he's adapted to the philosophy of the club and how he feeds into the outstanding midfield that the club has always had"

... and on the England national side


http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2012/jul/02/euro-2012-roberto-martinez-england-spain


"We need to develop a team which is better on the ball and outplays other teams, and having that philosophy rather than trying to keep a clean sheet."


From his Wigan days ...

You began your managerial career with Swansea four years ago, how do you feel you’ve developed as a manager since then?

"Well I started to manage in 2007, but I started to think like a manager since I arrived in the UK because the British game is completely different to the way I grew up as a footballer. Straight away I had a big question mark about what was right and what was wrong and I soon learned that nothing was wrong and nothing is right. It’s all a matter of opinions, a matter of method and trying to implement ideas well. I just feel when I started managing I knew exactly what I wanted because I’d been through the process of thinking like a manager for many, many years. I have been trying different things and developing the method, but I think the philosophy has stayed consistent since I started. "

I could go on ...

At least that useless tit Kenwright can be relled on to stand firm. His one and only saving grace. Mind you, it's not much to ask when you're 12th in the table.

I love how you keep stating in such matter of fact this "12th in the table" as if all is not as bad as it seems and people are over reacting. Look at the table were a couple of defeats away from the bottom 3 Dave. Shocking management.

Where I do agree with you tho is that the fans should all be behind the team and martinez currently. Booing and bad atmospheres at games NEVER helps. If you want your team winning, get behind them.

Imo the RM situation will take care of itself if he's not the man to take us forward. Which imo he's Not.

Come on Bobby, get it right this Saturday. It's Pardew, ffs.

COYB.

 

[Carlito]

Poor choice of words regarding the fans. Those comments will likely come back to haunt him when his team is out-fought and out-thought by Liverpool next week.

His views on this season's performances are the biggest worry, obviously. The team is playing like a go-nowhere Spanish side, lacking the quality to attack or the fortitude to defend, and yet he appears completely unconcerned.

At least he's got the brains to kiss the ring in public, which should buy him plenty of time with Kenwright. Great to once again see a manager heaping praise on the owners as they do nothing to improve a struggling squad.

When I went to Wigan because of obviously the financial implications that we had it took probably two and a half years and five transfer windows to be able to change the whole style and be effective with it,

So effective with the style they were relegated, great philosophy.

 

[L4Everton]

hes fighting the good fight. Makes him a proper Evertonian. Not like these other frauds.

Freudian slip?

 

[L4Everton]

How many interviews does the man give??

More than we have wins/points/self belief....

 

[efcfanwirral]

So effective with the style they were relegated, great philosophy.

That comment about Wigan is the single most terrifying thing ive heard him say

You should read the whole article there is more.

 

[royalblue66]

Looks like we are sleepwalking into the championship .

 

[toffeestillidie]

I've been an outspoken defender of Martinez through this tough time, and I don't think we should go out and panic buy a player just because things aren't going our way...

But we are one injury away from not being able to field 2 centre backs... there has to be someone cheap or on loan we could bring in as cover.

 

[eddy]

I reckon he has 2 games to save the `nhs`

Yeah of all the managers it had to be on Saturday, it had to be that tit of a horror, Pardew, he will looking to stick the knife in good style.
