Had enough now, we aint going anywhere under this regime & manager just might aswell pack up, seems the entire football club has anyway, my dad passed away over christmas and i'm glad he's not here to see this debacle

I said on the Martinez thread that this wasn't the 'must win game' for him but after seeing him take off Deulofeu and put Cleverly and Kone out on the wings, I'm convinced he doesn't actually have a clue about how to manage a football team or match, nearly 3 years is long enough, we've got progressively WORSE during his reign, how the hell can that happen with the players he has?

 

[BernieWright13]

Takes off our main counter-attacking threat and brings on Kone. Consequently leaving us with no outlet /pace up front.

Only one man to blame for yet another right royal fcku up.

Get out of my club Martinez you joke

 

[technojoe]

We're a soft touch. Changes needed.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

That's the best squad we've had in years. It's something more fundamental than one player. It's the manager.

Wonder how many will be here next season

 

[Rossisboss]

Funny my dreams about Everton are about winning things and being successful

I hope your dreams come true.... But they won't with Martinez around

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

We were predictably poor as usual but wishing a career threatening injury on any player is out of order mate.

They are multi millionaire frauds though. I am sick of the lot of them.
And I am a bad loser (Sith not Jedi)

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Our whole game was based on counter-attack and we needed a second goal, we were never going to hold out at 1-1, and we took off our fastest most dangerous attacking player and the one player who provides top class service to Rom.

As my lad said, should have took Osman off and stuck Lennon on, he'll get back and defend, and loads of pace to give City more to worry about.

 

[longers]

Screw it, Bring in Fat Sam

 

[PhilM]

Take this as an inspiration for the rest of the season? Seriously Roberto, stop spouting so much nonsense as it's embarrassing.

 

[lancs blue]

To be fair, he can blame the officials if it is their fault.

I agree to some extent but to keep doing it becomes a broken record. We play too deep with officials having to make too many decisions.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Consistency is the key, but instead you routinely see refs blow the whistle after the big money teams score. Look at how no time was added on for either stoppage goal in the liverpool norwhich game...

A few minutes stoppage time here and there makes no difference when you're shipping 3 goals as a matter of routine. Every single thing that the naysayers said about Martinez when he got the job is coming true. He doesn't understand how games are won.

 

[eurosrees]

I don't really want a long FA cup run to mask the absolutely glaring mis management of this club this season, let's face it as soon as we play a good side were out anyway.

There's little point in buying anyone in this Window now, get Duncan to manage us to 40 points and then bring someone in that knows both how to get a defence working, and that Tom Cleverley is not a football player.

That was a joke tonight, and everyone could see it coming an absolute mile off.

 

[whiter661]

Every decision goes against us when do we ever get a favour! Hinchcliffe can [Poor language removed] off aswell.

 

[Jreverton1]

We're a soft touch. Changes needed.

Starting with Martinez
