Roberto Martinez discussion

[daz4matty]

We keep saying he isn't getting the best from the squad, but what do we base this on. This is a young team he has put together over 2.5 seasons. There will be problems than need addressing and fixing. Swapping and changing managers won't help as we will find faults with the next manager if he doesn't play the team we want him to play or he doesn't make the subs we would have. It will just go on and on. Totally agree with Howard by the way.

This is a squad that should have won more than 5 matches this season.
This is his 3rd season now and we should be seeing progress at the moment we are 10th with the likes of bournemouth and norwich breathing down our necks if we don't start getting it together as a team we are in for a long season.
The players seem only to play one half and i don't know if thats a fitness issue or a can't be arsed issue but whichever it is it needs managing.
And on the subject of howard it just looks like he is too weak to drop him

You say average but we had them away at the same stage last season in poor form and they beat us.

Tbh this season now appears to be following a very similar pattern to last - real relegation fears brewing

No way mate. Unless you are a pessimistic sort of person then that statement does not apply.

We have a 45% win rate under Martinez, 45 won 26 drawn 29 lost.

Quote accurate stats please we have won 5 this 12 last we didn't win 28 in the first season

Look at the last 4 games. 3 points gained but who are the oppositions? No wonder we moan because I expect top 6 with this squad and it doesn't look like we are going to get it. Without it no Euro.

We're not halfway through yet, and martinez teams always go on a run in the spring

Basically called our entire fanbase spoilt geordie biffs if I'm misinterpreting it correctly.

ha Ha. It'd have been great if he had....and was then handed a five year extension.

 

[ianefc]

Those stats are very sad. But what are his stats for Everton?

What stats you want?

 

[Alex Hindmarsh]

Reality has struck home, and our fans don't see it. Martinez is 'clueless', let's be honest none of us have a ******* clue compared to him. We're all silly, he's smart, that's why he gets paid millions to manage our team while we sit here discussing him.

Roberto Martinez treats Everton with respect, and he has made us respected. We now have a team worth in excess of £200mill, and that's down to him and him alone. I love everything about the guy, and if you guys want someone to complain about, go complain about the idiots who paid for the Kenwright banner. He's the one to look at.

Everton are 5 points off 5th, playing some lovely football, and waiting for a slice of luck to kick us on our way.

If you seriously, and I mean seriously want the best manager we've had in a long while to leave, then I really feel for you.

There is no chance we can get to the final. Sorry

You won't be going to wembley if we fluke a win then ?

 

[maccavennie]

He's had ample time this season to correct the balance of the side and it's still not there.

I understand why we go through the right hand side so much because that allows Kone to move in more centrally, but we literally have zilch from the left hand side.

We also still look like conceding every time a team comes at us. It's basically the same thing every week. This season we are easy on the eye in stages ( a great half followed by a poor half ) but results are no different than last, piss poor at home and draw far too many away games.

I don't see him ever getting the balance right tbh, I don't think he's got it within him or has the mind set to be able to work hard on the most basic of issues we have which we all agree and see every game.

Don't hate the fella, I like him but for me personally I wouldn't be sad to see him go because I don't think he's good enough. That opinion is formed not from today's game,wasn't surprised we got beat today, it's a long road of poor results this season and last season.

He won't get sacked though so my opinion means very little in the grand scheme of things.

True story

I think he's talking about the board. Oh, you knew that...

 

[daz4matty]

ha Ha. It'd have been great if he had....and was then handed a five year extension.

That would not surprise me with our useless board

 

[Toffeelover]

I'm not smoking anything.

League isn't finished at Xmas, still half the way to go.

haha you crease me up Groucho. So you think we can make 4th spot?

Moyes used to take the team back on track in the second half of the season. Of course I would like Everton done the same but would not place a good bet on it.

 

[Azza]

Last season we conceded 50 goals, 27th by this stage, though 6 of them where from the Chelsea match. We've already conceded 25 so far this season already!

Apart from Moyes' first full season we never conceded more than 49 goals with him in charge.
