Roberto Martinez discussion

[Kankurette]

I think all that phenomenal guff last year was pushed a lot of people over edge, especially what we were subject to in terms of the actual performance.

But totally agree, he stepped away from his usual media niceness and laid a statement down that he's the boss.

Still laughing at his face at half time, the utter fume was something I've never seen in him

Anyone got pictures? I want to see Angry Bob!

Yes we need to see more of his ruthless streak and more importantly so do the players.

Then sort out the defending and things could progress rapidly.

 

[joger]

Can I watch his after match press conference anywhere?

Not really. The players do...and have since he's been here apparently. Ask Distin.

We haven't seen a face on him like we saw last night nor a reaction like that from the players before. A watershed moment in his stewardship was definitely reached for me.

I'm happy you feel that way. But by all accounts the manager is not slow in laying down the law. He doesn't have to pull faces on the sideline like a mad man to do that.

My guess is Roberto traditionally praises in public, lays down the law in private. The mask slipped a bit with all the frustrations and was great. For all the questions about tactics, subs, or favorites, cannot question his longgame vision and desire for the club.

Like him showing more steel when needed.

Wonder if they make combat boots in his trademark brown?

Is Martinez manipulating Bill. He has put the statement out there, he is saying Bill isn't an Evertonians if he sells Stones, he is saying Bill will sell his granny if the money is right. He out also be preparing an exit strategy if Stones is sold.
Well done him, now show the same steel with the players.

If this was Moyes Stones would've been sold right away. But Bobby kind of threatened the board as if to say " I want him, he's alright with staying, so sell him and its your own death wish."

Different times and different financial constraints make it unfair to make a claim like that.

 

[Groucho]

He clearly has cojones.

Good on him.

I always did wonder about that. What Martinez says in public is not necessarily what he says in the dressing room. For all we know he could be tearing them a new bumhole after every bad game.

Great set of balls shown by him over all this, shown class through out

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Shame he didn't lay down the law a bit harder last season when the players were tanking games so they could go play golf instead.
