Roberto Martinez discussion

[Khalekan]

Who cares what thatched cottage head and some bloke who wrote a decent song 10 years ago have to say.

Ten years ago?

Have they written a good song since Have A Nice Day?

That must have been at the turn of the century

Wait, the Sterophonics wrote a decent song ten years ago? Here was me thinking they'd been crap since their debut album.....

 

[Shipped]

Yeah, more than 10 years.
It was thousand trees I was thinking of.

 

[bluestevon]

Dakota was a brilliant song tbf

 

[roydo]

Er, less Sterophonics please.

Ta.

I despise all non-Evertonians!

There's some Evertonians I'm not that keen on to be honest.

Their first album was good and the second one had some decent tracks on it, but pretty much everything after was gash.

That's the popular opinion! Last 4 albums have been good just not popular. Albums 3 and 4 were the poorer ones...

Back to Martinez though...he needs to work out how to break down west brom or this prediction will come true...I'm going for 0-0 on past evidence...

Another thing is England could well lose it'd 4 champions league spots meaning you would have to finish top 3 . Hard to see that happening

true, tbf with the new TV deal it's hard to see how the prem will fail to start attracting more top quality players to the league. i hope to god it makes it more competitive with a genuine chance for about 7 or 8 teams at the start of the season to compete for the title. would much rather see that than england have an extra place in CL with only 5 teams competing for 4 spots.

Attracting them and getting them to play at the level in England that they have previously played at are two totally different things.

Di Maria, Falcao and Ozil spring to mind in the present day.

Crespo, Shevchenko and Morientes among others from the recent past.

West Brom are going to try and nick a goal on the counter then sit 10 men behind the ball.

What we really struggled against last season. Let's hope Martinez's fresh approach can unlock this, though with possible 3 out of our starting back 4 out I am slightly worried

 

[Jags..class]

Martinez is doing great. He creating two world class players in our team in stones and Barkley. All the media been on stones which has been good for Barkley.

There really does seem to be a Reginald Perrin going on with Martinez. The rise, fall and then rise again of our great manager.

Or have the fans changed their views as Roberto just gets on with his job?
