Bob Elstone
Player Valuation: £35m
They need to get a move on. It took these fools weeks to appoint frank. The window is open and games are passing by. Need a new bloke in to evaluate and spend any money asap.
Yeah after a dumb one hire a even dumber alcoholic!If nothing else I was more impressed with how Rooney managed Derby than Lamps
Whether he could or couldn't, could you imagine him going on TV after his first bad defeat - which with these players would likely be his first game - and talking up the performance as "phenomenal"? Imagine the fume. He'd drive people nuts with his willful propagandising and "optimism". I'm fairly sure Roberto's cheery disposition would incite hate crimes at Goodison in the current climate.Sticking my neck out here, but why the aversion to Martinez?
Our clear issue under Lampard has been our ability to move the ball forward and play a coherent attacking style.
With last years squad, Martinez ball would be suicide, but I think with Tarkowski, Coady and Myko, we have a solid defensive unit (as shown earlier in the season). We also have Gana and Iwobi who can pass the ball. So, couldn't Martinez get a tune out of us going forward, and allow us to start scoring goals, while placing faith in experienced defenders to be solid?
Our inability to move the ball forward has been what has caught the defense out (see Wolves last minute goal and the last three last night). That is further highlighted by the sit and defend success we had against Man City. Our lack of confidence and system going forward has been our undoing defensively.
It's an old adage, but could the best form of defense be attack and could Martinez unlock that?
If the old guard at Chelsea were still there Id have expected something from them for Lampard.
He's clearly been tasked with building a new young side.
But to do that hes reliant on funds from the board and generated from sales.
Without either...how does anyone turn the forward players into an attacking threat...
Got to be Dyche. Only one who’s probably cheap, got the experience and might actually be able to get a tune out of McNeil.
He'd ruin all our players
They’re already ruinedHe'd ruin all our players
For some reason Martinez is remembered as this brilliant, slick, attacking manager.Sticking my neck out here, but why the aversion to Martinez?

He dropped McNeil when they was struggling at Burnley. McNeil had a terrible season. Then Everton rock up and sign him because we are Everton and don’t have a brain.Got to be Dyche. Only one who’s probably cheap, got the experience and might actually be able to get a tune out of McNeil.
