Roberto Martinez discussion

Did you not feel that two years ago?

Nah.

Had the feeling then that it wouldn't last; Lukaku and Deulofeu were going back, didn't feel like we'd turn down offers for Coleman, Barkley et al., Utd obvs weren't gonna be gash for long.

Just feels different now.

Might see us winning a trophy in my lifetime after all.

I dunno, he's the bloke that tells us when ramadan is right?

Moyes wasn't a manager, he was a drill sergeant.

Martinez is the best manager we've had since HK.

Well we've only had 3

 

[Elong]

Hard to rank managers that have been a positive for us, they've all achieved different things, I'm not really sure it's worth going down that route, Royle won us a trophy and got us passionate about Everton again, Moyes brought us out of ruin into safety and security, Martinez has us excited and potential. HK won plenty, but had indifferent other spells with us.

Not even mentioning Smith or Walker the plums.

Oh defo Royle is to be celebrated. He made us tough to beat and had a fair sprinkling of flair players too. I just feel Martinez is superior as a coach and more attack minded.

Martinez makes me feel the same way Royle did, I was only a kid then, but the passion and excitement is back.

I think he means we have had three since Howard's third term, Dave.

We have indeed only had three since Howard's last game as guv'nor......v Cov in '98 I believe.

But you are spot on......Roberto is the best of the three we have had

united have scraped there way through so far and they look like they're building a bit of momentum - but they have had a fairly easy start to the season. but still, they haven't been great imo. the top 3 spots will sort themselves when arsenal finally click. today might be that day.

I'm not sure that the top 3 will be that much better than 4,5+6 this season. All of the so called big clubs have shown weakness this season. I would say after XMAS we will more about them and weather they are good enough to close the gap to us sat at the top of the pile. I wish

yeah possibly, we always think that of arsenal, they have a top quality squad though. chelsea aren't exactly firing but they will go on a run somewhere along the line. city will always win when their big guns are fit.

i think the gap won't be massive, but they'll still comfortably finish as the top 3 you'd think.
