19th January - Everton vs. West Brom

[Allezfan]

It took him 4 years to relegate wigan, it'll take him more than 2 to relegate everton.

He gets this year, he gets the start of next. That's when you have this conversation.

The "clique" out in force negging me for this thread haha

Thanks lads, appreciated.

What's the poll result again?

Can I ask why people would trust Martinez in a relegation fight, given his career track record and our form this season?

His track record in actual relegation fights is pretty good

 

[Boss_Blue]

Sack him.

Bring in Pulis.

Avoid relegation.

Sack Pulis.

Re-appoint Martinez in the summer.

Or we could all just calm dafuq down.

16th, 15th, relegated. Not what I'd call good after an extended time to actually shape the side. It indicates to me that he was incapable of improving a defence.

If Martinez can't keep us up who can?

Ronald Koeman

Getting into the fight is one thing, but actually being in the position of a relegation contender he was usually pretty handy of getting them out. Not that it will come to that with us, though the parallels with Wigan are becoming greater by the game

You've had two people neg rep you?

Two?...

You'll get loads more now though - inevitable when you moan about rep

He's pretty good at dogfights mate, 3 out of 4 while playing Gary bloody Caldwell

Right but the point is it took him 4 years.

You're arguing we need to sack him to keep us up this year, as if the moment we start dropping down the table, he'll panic and not cope. That didn't happen, in 3 out of 4 relegation fights he had enough to keep them up despite his team being in awful form coming into spring. He is comfortable in those situations, it's his backyard.

Now I don't think we'll seriously be in one this season but if we are, Roberto seems like he's the streetwise guy who can get us out of it as much as the likes of pulis or others.
