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

[Abertonian]

Our captain has come out and said they have no idea how to stop the rot.... How anyone can continue to defend Martinez is beyond comprehension

The fact he said that implies a lot more. I think he's lost the squad and there is no way of turning it round if that's the case - cup win or not

He's goner then mate if that's the case. Where was that?

I agree about Martinez but Jags didn't really say that, at least I don't think he meant it like that. He got asked how they should turn things around and he gave a non-answer along the lines of "I don't know, obviously we should play to our strengths and try to find some confidence". The "I don't know" is being taken as a blunt answer when it wasn't.

The players look to not care anymore. Not playing for the tradition of the shirt. That's what hurts the most to me anyway.
Not good enough.

This is it, we are quite an easy bunch of fans to please. Show fight and we'll get behind you, it's why the massive beaut of an argie was loved, god awful footy player but ran himself into the ground

We have a team that doesn't look interested in fighting for the shirt

Spot on, they're devoid of any fight. And is it any wonder when the man in the charge tells the world his players have played well and are fantastic after every defeat and that everything is rosy and perfect.

This is a mess now. It needs a freshening up badly, the man needs to go.

There has been no accountability for performance at Everton on and off the field for a long time.
If Mr Moshiri can at the very least bring that to the club, we will see more pride in performance.

There's no way the club have sanctioned that in a presser. That's the equivalent of saying " we've given up "

...and what Ste? We got 72 points two years ago and 5th is the same as 15th.

Pfffff...

Truly shocking record that...

That is an absolute shocking statistic, quite scary for next season if things aren't addressed.

...it is a phenomenally shocking stat. But to overtly draw attention to it is tantamount to being a bad supporter who needs to get behind the team and stop judging the current manager. In short, it's toe-curling echo chamber-ish

*sigh*
