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

[hktoffee]

If wining a cup meant keeping Martinez, I would take it all day.

You can win the cup and sack him in the summer.

The two aren't mutually exclusive

 

[Ashtonian]

Or we cold back the manager and support him for what is a make or break part of the season for everton

Fans including myself support the team.

The issue we all have is the poor tactics and instructions which stop the players actually doing well and winning which is the stumbling block to backing the manager also.

 

[nsno-chris]

It'll be interesting if he plays a good amount of youngsters today, see if they follow his instructions or go off instincts from instructions in their u21 games.

 

[lancs blue]

If hes lost the dressing room as it appears an fa cup trophy will not be down to roberto. He'll still no doubt take the credit to try to save his skin

 

[JLW]

The fans should get right behind the team today as a good result today will give us confidence leading into next week, regardless of what we think of the manager. The players need support and confidence and that's what we pay good money for to support the team on the pitch.

 

[Khalekan]

If we get beat today does anybody think he could be sacked before the derby?

I think so.

To me, this is the Last Chance Saloon for Bobby.

We need a boost of some description before these two big games.

If it doesn't come in the shape of a victory on the pitch this afternoon......then it has to come from a change of leadership off it.

And as I said yesterday, if we do lose today and Bobby is still in charge next Saturday night and our Cup dreams laying in tatters at Wembley, it won't we him I will be angry at......it will be those who have sat idly by and watched the life being sucked out of EFC since the third West Ham goal went in the net.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Really can't see us turning this around now. The confidence is shot and our main threats are all off the pace! I'm going to Analfield on Weds and absolutely dreading it! I actually think he should've of gone by now the mediocrity and lame excuses are killing me!

 

[Khalekan]

I would have to say our best chance since 95 was when we got to the final with moyesie

Still only in the semi

And went a goal up inside a minute.

 

[lancs blue]

No doubt he'll use reserve/rest players for the next two games and use that as an excuse. Im past wanting martinez. His comments are becoming more baffling each week. A clear sign of losing it

Spot on K, he's tried to play today down saying the result doesn't matter as he's looking st it as a block of 5 games. Well I'm 99.9% sure today does matter because it's the fans that need a boost and some belief before a massive couple of games coming up.

Lose today and he should be sacked to at least give us a fighting chance next week as this slumber simply can't be allowed to continue.

Let's hope they turn up and turn it on today though K, 3 points always makes the weekend that much sweeter.

Will be interesting to see what the starting eleven is given injuries and patently Ross and Rom ideally needing a breather.

A victory today I would suggest is an absolute must, for the club as a complete entity.

A good performance would be the cherry on the cake as it might indicate the players can and are able to some degree self-motivate and rise above the problems.

COYB !!!!

Tell you what though Khal, he's got monster plums if this is his potential last game and he's already indicated that he is resting Lukaku for it.

Kone up to to save his neck....

Any youth players will only be on the bench, hopefully that will put to bed the "roberto is good for youth" myth
