Roberto Martinez discussion

[Goat]

Sounds fetching...or something that sounds like fetching anyway.

Felching you mean.

Keegan, world class, really. ????

Yep, twice European footballer of the year I think.

Koeman is another.

Barton is a plum but he is an evertonian and he is saying what most sane evertonians are thinking.

I think even his biggest critics will concede that Martinez makes good purchases.

I'd have 100% trust in him to spend the cash wisely. And most others would too. His record rivals Moyes - allowing for the time period differences and inflation.

Niasse is one to judge him with in regards to spending a lot of cash on a player - if he makes an impact and is a success my faith will be restored.

 

[Billefc]

Still. Are you aware of how many home games we've won in the past 12 months? Not good enough mate. Nowhere near good enough.

I'm sure villa have taken more points from there last 6 home games, than we have ! Absolute joke!

Joey Barton hit the nail on the head for me. If our star players demand to leave I don't trust Martinez one bit spending the excessive amount of cash we'd likely receive.

I don't want Martinez but I can't argue that he hasn't got a good eye for a player. It's the managing of them once he's got them I have the issue with.

 

[By god I'm blue]

Merson and Barton condemn Martinez - I think the phrase 'by your friends shall you be known' was never more appropriate.

Think about it lads. Yeah?.....Yeah?

They have actually forgotten more than you will ever know about football, as have I

He'd make a great director of football tbf.

Todays question of the day.

Your Roberto Martinez, you have 7 players on the bench :

1 is an ex Barca superstar
1 is a badly turd GK
1 is the best LB in the league
1 is a bad kopite grass
1 is an injury prone player that plays in reverse
1 is the worst player to ever grace a football pitch
1 is a player capable of match winning goals

Which 1 do you bring on to win the game, a prize to whoever picks the correct answer first.

May I guide you to the 'search this thread' facility where you'll find my paltry 2,000 posts on the subject.

Points since the beginning of last season til now (64 league games in total):

Spurs - 115
Liverpool - 100
Southampton - 100
Stoke - 90
Swansea - 83
Everton - 82
Crystal Palace 80
West Brom - 76

Defend that. I think he's had enough time to get it right now.

Not sure myself. I see him as a very good attacking coach at best. He would have been ideal as Moyes number 2 instead of that Round.

He's been here for two weeks.
He's on £60k a week.
He can't even do 10 mins as a sub.
Love modern football.

Yeah but those stats don't matter, we are the entertainers and on the cusp of something......eventually..... when we string a few wins together....or win a couple at home.....against somebody outside of the bottom 3...or something like that.

assuming a catastrophic brain injury to the manager I think he'd go with "the worst player to ever grace a football pitch" ?

Honestly, we should start a justgiving thing, he clearly cant afford a CAT scan.
