Roberto Martinez discussion

Here is the issue, tell me where I'm wrong

HOW TO BEAT EVERTON

don't give del time on the ball and cover that side, it's where the ball is coming from

in any sort of doubt, clear it for a corner and plan to counter

put pace down the right hand side because they don't play with a left midfielder

put the ball in the 6 yard box with bodies there, the keeper won't commit to the ball.

A simple explanation but it's predictable every week

 

[Groucho]

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

Well I'm not as positive as I was at the beginning of the month and it is less likely but it's still possible.

I didn't say we were nailed on 4th, I said it was possible.

"Were coming into a run of games that are winnable". 3 points in the last 4 games...

 

[Lowste]

So frustrating today

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

I think he plays him because we have two young centre halves and he wants an old head at the back. I'm not saying it is this just a thought. Obviously I don't agree as Howard is useless.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

The Mori Stones partnership just hasn't worked for us. They are good players individually but they are both prone to DERPS when they are in the same squad. We need experience on the backline and we just don't have it atm. That doesn't excuse Martinez though

You are better and wiser than 80% of the premiership managers it seems.

What is your profession?

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

Yep minutes after a defeat yet another weekend without a victory I'm sure that's what he meant.

 

[davek]

BTW, two points off the glorious 7th place many deem to be 'acceptable' for Everton. So not all bad then.


League cup all day long over any of that midtable/7th place trophy nonsense.

Who cares what he said.

 

[Coffee and TV]

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

Seems like those stats though are all competitions and only his first 100 games, not sure how many games we're up to now.

League only and up to date:

38 wins, 28 draws, 26 losses

This is what is happening most weeks. only team recently not to do this was today and to be fair their own game plan is working fine
