On the other hand, he's protecting Mirallas with only 2 minutes of football each game. Lol. Well in Roberto. Who laughs last....
Mirallas only makes the squad cos Lukaku told him he would get him sacked again if he didnt.
Theres only 1 person in charge.
Hopefully Martinez finishes the job he started and forces the whingebag out of football altogether
Don't want to play the ref mate, but is that really relevant to the thread?

Mirallas couldn't get on the bench by the time of Wilmots time as manager. Roberto has brought Mirallas in to mess with his head. He saw him and Lukaku pissing themselves when he was appointed. He can't drop Lukaku but he can yank Mirallas's chain at will.
As if RMs playing that divvy rather than Mertens. Lol. Get on the bench Kev, you can go on and and wind the clock down.
He who laughs last.....

Personally Dave, I still cannot believe he got that job. Goodness knows what the Blegians seen him.

You wouldn't be very good at criminal law mate. Lukaku would still deserve a defence.

They looked at the trajectory of his career overall which is a largely upward arc:
Successful lower league manager
Wins silverware at his first club in the PL (yes, they are relegated that year too)
Takes the reins of an established PL team and takes them in a different direction and secures a great first season - and even when things turn sour in the PL the EL/LC/FA Cup offer evidence of the capability of success with the right players.
And I think it was his decent record in cups that ultimately opened the door to the Belgian job, as their FA stated when they appointed him:
"There is a common sense that the team needs a new impulse to lead this group towards a top result at a major tournament."
RM can utilise the Belgian attacking force (who else better to get more out of Lukaku for instance) while their defence is so good it almost doesn't matter what Martinez's frailties are in that respect they'll get the job done anyway.
What the Belgian FA didn't do was to join up to Everton forums or read our local rags or listen to our local radio phone ins and allow the hysteria and lack of cool analysis therein to make their mind up on Martinez for them.

Well that was 5 pages or crap I've just read through. Can't believe so many people continued to bite.
It looks like Lukaku will be fine for the weekend which is fantastic news.

It's looking like he won't play against Gibraltar. Benteke will play. Although tonight they could still decide otherwise (wouldn't bet on it though). Shame for his goal tally for Belgium.

Bollocks, the went for him because they had a budget of €1m per season, he was all they could afford and that's from two well respected Belgian journalists.
Also how in gods name can his career be looked at as being on an upward arc? He has left both clubs in lower league positions than he found them.
The unrest amoungst the Belgian supporters was apparent, when his team were booed off in his first game and it wasn't even a competitive one.
