Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[Toffeelover]

You gonna keep the name once he's gone?

For me in that article it is the same old guff, didn't we do well, unlucky, etc, etc. What he needs to understand is the way to make the fans happy is for him to walk now.

 

[LAToffee]

Does sacking him now avoid muddying the waters if we do win the cup? Think this team will be motivated in the cup games whoever is the manager. If we win with him, is he a zombie manager: so compromised that he can't retain or recruit players.

 

[ianefc]

Do you think that's acceptable?

It certainly doesn't live up to our motto does it?

Yet you rail match going fans whom pay a lot of money to watch that utter gash week in week out for giving the players and mainly the manager well deserved criticism they are receiving and say we should support the team better and we act like we're entitled!??
Don't think so!
You probably won't find more level headed fans than Evertonians, we expect our team to turn up and fight for the cause and not just bend over like we have recently.

I suppose if it was up to you we'd be called F.C Megalols and have mad bantz throughout the match!!

This isn't the MLS!! It's the premier league and we are Everton and we deserve better.

Had a bit of a think about it for a few hours, and he still has my support.

Problems are there, but I'm always in favour of giving managers time if there's no immediate danger.

...you sure about that?

The Stones / Chelsea saga was destabilising I think - he's not been the same since - too much attention too soon. And Jags is getting old. Mori has been a solid addition - but we'd have been better signing an experienced centre back / GK in the Jan window rather than spending time looking for attackers - scoring goals hasn't been the issue

Maybe he was looking to replace Lukaku ahead of time - equally no reason Lukaku shouldn't be held to his contract. And he's doing no one any favours with his media comments

But we've had this before mate.

We had the World Cup in 2014 leaving Lukaku and co knackered
We had Barry "getting old"
We had the Europa League exertions
We had the Stones issues
We had the McCarthy not getting a new deal saga
We had that Mirallas lad missing a penalty

Look at our league record against the teams above us, this season and last. It's a litany of failure

Next October

We'll have everyone coming back from Euro 2016
We'll have Stones / Lukaku / Barkley type of sagas, destabilising etc etc
We'll probably still be having Naisse recovering from a wrist injury which is affecting his ability to kick a football and run about without appearing to be assaulted by gravity in an arbitrary way

...yes

We can do better than Roberto. Roberto wont get a better job than Everton.

This. He's destined for a career of mediocrity at Elche or Almeria when Moshiri finally Di Canio volleys him as far away from this club as possible

Missed the game today. From what I read we went toe to toe with Utd and then conceded a poor goal.

Are we at Fumecon 1 yet?

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

But who to replace him? We missed out on Rafael. Bring back Moyes?? Gary Neville?

 

[Billefc]

Abysmal is a bit over the top IMO.

We certainly aren't doing well in the league though that's for sure.

I'd say a bit too tame if anything and certainly not ott !

BTW, being critical of fans is not 'railing' them. I am not the only one that feels that way. There are match goers who agree that the home atmosphere is not supportive at the moment. Not sure why you mentioned MLS either. I would absolutely love to be a season ticket holder...it would be a massive privilege and honor. Sadly I don't know if I will ever make it over for 1 match let alone live there.

...aye, there's the rub

You've done it now mate.

Er... Toe to toe?

Well Coleman should have toe'd it away, certainly
