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

[Jimmy1]

Your question really I presume is more, do I have one which you'd agree with.
I guess I don't seeing as my views have been posted on a variety of things regarding the manager.

And?

I have no idea what your on about. I don't look out for your posts. Thats not personal by the way.

I mean this relatively seriously, I can't see where our next win is coming from. I just hope we scrape over 40 points. Thank God the geordies are so inept

We may need to lose every game from now until season end to get him out mate. Im giving the players permission to down tools to get him out

My point is that anyone who supports Martinez isn't being ridiculous. It's just their opinion.

Just got to work mate so can't give you my reasons just now but will later. I think it's fair to say the proRM are a minority now so it's very reasonable you wouldn't have seen my or other "cult" views.

Ive supported Martinez, this season even. I've had enough now as its getting worse. I'm not anti Martinez supporters I just don't hear any valid reasons, in my opinion, as to why he should be given more time.

We've got enough points to avoid relegation even if we lost every game from now til the end of the season.

But the very fact that it even needs saying should be enough to condemn Martinez

Were only on 38 points just short of the magic 40 points barrier

18 in 40 in all comps...45%.

Assuming you're not including those magnificent pre season friendly wins against Swindon, Hearts and Dundee? Your stat must include those stunning victories against Barnsley, Reading, Norwich (Carling Cup on Penalties), Middlesborough, Dagenham and Redbridge, Carlisle, Bournemouth reserves in the FA Cup, and then the teams in the bottom three that we have flat track bullied!
18 in 40 in all comps........45% really ain't good at all!

I want the guy out but FFS, stuff like this fuels the fire of people having a go at us for wanting a better manager.

If it involves Everton losing the ends don't justify the means. Be a blue first a plotter second mate.

Consistency is not really Dave's thing.

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

Exactly. We hired him in the first place because he was the best we could afford at the time. Now we can afford better. It really is that simple for me.

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

The fitness thing is clearly an issue as much as anything and a probable reason why we capitulate late in games.

We know that Martinez does little fitness work pre season and it's practically all "ball work". We've heard that from the players.

That's pure incompetence isn't it?

Poor performance today, Arsenal, we just did not show up. Last two seasons, it's just hasn't changed. Blah, blah, feckin' blah.

We all get it. Question is, what are you going to do about it? What's the poll here and Toffeweb, 70% Out. Seriously, you want him out, get up off feckin' asses and do something about it, if you care so much. Thought not. Not going to happen.

Take a pot shot at Davek all you want, all he's doing is telling you the truth. Our club has slid beneath your expectations for over twenty years. There's a reason Martinez still has a job and it has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with the board, so save me your outrage and this includes the Mod's, Forum owners etc...with their sage wisdom, we've all stood by and watched this club fall of the precipice. Gnash your teeth all you want, Bottom line is, we've got the club we deserve. Unpalatable but true. You don't think Martinez is up for the job? Who hired him?
Kenwright...Go ahead, blame the cup manager, the Aunt Sally, the Popinjey. Keep telling yourself it has nothing to do with board.

Here's a question for you, you wan't to be a winning club? We're in the semi finals, get behind the team. It's not just the manager, players, it is the supporters too, I'm anti Martinez but I think it's a feckin' disgrace both major sites are having a poll. No manager in our history, period, has had to endure that on the verge of semi final in the FA Cup. Get a grip.

If we go out, sure you get the win button. Wear it with pride, personally there's a lot of Evertonian's out there who have never seen us win FA all. Wind ya neck in until the summer. We lost at home to Arsenal and away to United and we're 12th in the league. Let's all jump off Seaforth rocks cause that's never happened before.

Hold your fire, like it or not, this could be a season you reminisce with your kids about. And if Kenwright's gamble fails, you can tell your kids I told you so.

Ah good. The old "some fans don't want us to win the cup so they're proven right" line.

Feel like I've heard that before, and it was ******** then too.

Yeah, we've been 12th before. But before last season we hadn't finished bottom half for nearly a decade. This season we're going to do it back to back, which we haven't done in nearly 15yrs.

But to hell with the woeful underperformance over 76 games, we've beaten Dagenham and Redbridge, Carlisle, Bournemouth and a Chelsea side having their worst season in god knows how many years.

I want to win the FA Cup as much as anyone. I happen to think the best chance of doing that would be to thank the manager for his service ASAP and replace him with a truly ambitious appointment.

I don't think it will happen, and to be honest I'm not convinced he'll be gone in the summer, though he sure as hell should be.

So you know what, I choose to discuss the club I care about with other like minded people. It may have no other function than to let off steam, but im pretty sure that's what forums are here for - certainly don't need ridiculous "I'm a better fan than you" posts like yours. Cheers though.

It won't take 40pts to stay up this season. Nowhere near imho.
