Roberto Martinez discussion

[davek]

*IT* = the ability to mask under-performance/achievement with the positivity flannel & loony talk? You mean that? Is that the *IT*?

Though gotta give him it for last night. Well done lovely Bob, hope this is the start of the end of the stubbornness...

Your surrender is accepted.

Want this manager to win stuff because I like the kind of players he cultivates and the way he wants to play. BUT he needs to start getting results. Tonight was huge,.............Getting ahead of myself, but that was a performance to make you dream...

There were a lot of plus points. It was rather worrying that every time we got a corner they ended up threatening our goal. Every corner of theirs resulted in a period of pressure on us..............

The fans weren't asking for those changes so they certainly aren't the fountain of all knowledge.

Barely any fans have been asking for Besic to start. McCarthy, Cleverly, even Barkley or Gibson in the middle have been the shouts I have heard but hardly anyone demanding Besic must be starting, certainly not pre Spurs.

The same Cleverly, everyone has been asking for Mirallas on the left, not Cleverley despite Mirrallas.

Obviously everyone wants Robles, I am sure Martinez probably agrees he should be in but dropping Howard could destroy the fella and mean Robles must work otherwise he has no were to turn. GK's are completely different to other areas and some time you have to just hang in there with your number 1 but I have no doubt come next August, (Hopefully next month) Howard will not even be here. It just takes time or lots of money to get in a suitable replacement.

Maybe, just maybe we can have a reasoned and rational discussion about Martinez.

From the man who had a go at the site owner for being selective

By why - if only his career with Everton interests you - would you be selective initially in leaving out his first season here?

Actually, I posted that the short term trend was important to note. Maybe you missed that bit.

So, in that spirit: 13 games 2 losses.

The facts speak for themselves...dont they?

Certainly does - 6 wins in 20 league games. Let's not do this again.

Again, LOL.

You keep the cover on your statue & I'll keep me white flag in me pocket for the time being.

Granted though Dave, VAST improvement.

Dunno if it's been mentioned thus far like but - had a re-watch this morn - BARKLEY's distribution last night was dire for the most. Still, can't grumble...

6 in 20, mate, you're being SO picky cos...like...that doesn't matter...

Apparently.

It's just a statty-fact that has no bearing on anything at all ever because, y'see, in the last THIRTEEN games it's...

*punches self in balls

To be fair, we have only conceded 1 goal a game in the past couple which is a massive improvment to 3 and 4 goals.

He must be working on the defensive side of the team, and bar a brilliant pass from aguero or a great strike from ali, we'd have shut teams out.

You cant handle the facts.

One step away from Wembley
6 points off 5th
Best attacking football for a generation
47 goals scored in 24 games.

Enjoy the self induced misery.

I'm delighted chap, and have said so in many thread.

I've given you the facts, and you ignore them day in day out.

Martinez makes you look very silly in the league and you know it

Perhaps I always will David, and perhaps you'll forever remain embroiled in the throws & the sheer blind ecstasy of your elongated 'bobby-wobble' to ever admit that the current league form is an issue...

Who knows eh.
