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

[TheHumbleEgg]

Better man then me, i couldn't bring myself to listen to it - the absolute rubbish he comes out with is like Trolling level 50.

I could do with some of @The Esk's type good new snippets to keep me warm and fuzzy.

...I'm up and down like a brides nightie with him...varying between feeling a bit sorry for him....then thinking he's utterly nuts.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

He doesn't try to knock down the club like moyes did lowering expectations, plucky little Everton tag was engineered by ginger blurt. Bobbys always bleating on about the level this club should be at and things it should be doing, hes played a big part in changing our psyche he just can't match it

...he's deffo changed a lot of psyches mate.

Kip of this poor blue...and he's only 34. Didn't even smoke 'til this season...

After months of sitting on the fence (I wanted to believe! And on some levels do feel sorry for Martinez the way its turned out, well as sorry as you can feel for someone on his salary!) it all came to a head after the West Ham game for me, the splinters up my ring-piece finally took their toll and I leaped firmly into the Martinez out camp, things never changed in the following fixtures after this.

I am going to think of the cup and the league as separate entities this season now, I really can’t be bothered with the league now and don’t really want to watch us in all honesty (Although I NEVER want us to get beat!!!! ) and it pains me to say that, as I have always willingly watched us, even through our dark days of the 90’s...

But, to end on a positive, I’m sick of this season now, fed up of feeling down, so let’s get behind the team/manager (I’m resigned to him being here until the end of the season) for the cup at least… Then in the summer when (Not if) we have our new manager, hopefully with a cup in our back pocket – We move onwards and upwards, with a new investor(s), new ground plans in the pipeline, new players, while retaining some existing personnel at the club and go in next year with a blank sheet.

We are rotten to the core with negativity right through the club and through to the fans (with good reason) at the moment and for the last few decades, I for one am going to try and change my outlook on that, if only for my own sanity… Wish me luck haha!



*if my positivity dips at all I’ll just dig out a few of the Esk’s posts in the this/new shareholder thread to get my spirits up!

I was the exact same and made the jump last week. He's come out today and said the target is to finish stronger than last year. We failed at that last year. We might fail again this year. He's talking about how important a strong finish now when we've seen in the 2013/2014 season how important a strong start to the season is, and a strong midseason period as well. I think it would be different from the fans point of view if his successful season was in between these two crap ones. As it is right now it is hard to read it as anything but a downwards trend and that's why I'm off the fence. I don't believe he is going to improve us any more and think this trend might continue.

Translation - I'm not actually going to do anything to try and change what's happening. It'll work out by itself.

And that's the most frustrating part of it. People are expecting to turn up tomorrow to see the same style, the same faults and the same result.

Feel like making a banner for tomorrow with this on:

adaptable
adjective
1.capable of being adapted.
2.able to adjust oneself readily to different conditions:
an adaptable person.
3. Antonym of Roberto Martinez

Don't mind if he's talking about strong finishes this year... Just if he starts to talk about strong starts next year I will be worried!

'koff Martinez would be better

 

[Carlito]

Of course he won't change anything. He is a lazy, lazy 'manager', who doesn't deal in anything beyond abstract ideas.

 

[Straq]

To be fair, he has got us to 4th in the Squawka league. Champions league here we come.

I see both sides here but it'd be folly to put all our eggs in the cup basket.

I want us to win the cup no doubt about it, but it won't magically transform Martinez into a good league (and overall) manager.

Plus I'm not for a second saying it wouldn't be wonderful to win the cup. I'm merely saying the league is the raison d'etre for any club, and the cup is a nice distraction. I'm not detracting from the memory or value of our previous cup wins.

Does anyone else, apart from me, feel in a kind of limbo of despair at the moment thanks to Roberto? We have a game tomorrow that I am not looking forward to, plus a trip to Wembley next week that I can't get excited about. I can't wait for the season to be over, to be honest.

Put it this way, I had to go on BBC to find out who we are playing this weekend. I feel utterly bereft right now.

Same feelings here mate !!

 

[jcgefc]

Can't decide if he should go now or at the end of the season.

It won't be till the end of the season, but the next 3 games in particular will be torture for us fans...
