Roberto Martinez discussion

[ianefc]

And fair play to you too. Too many of the others strangely disappear after the disappointment of a win.

We are making progress, not so long ago you used to accuse me of that sort of behaviour.

Your ability to put forward a coherent and constructive argument has me in awe.

I see from one off your previous quotes you have some expectation of winning this cup. I would love you to explain what you saw in today's performance that is going to carry us through to Wembley.

I am not going to put any more posts on this forum tonight, normally, in a cup match, I am only concerned with the result. What I saw today really deflated me. A deflection and a mistake to beat a Bournemouth team with 7 changes. If that is what people wish for Everton then I obviously expect too much.
I'm having a drink and going to concentrate very hard on tomorrow's draw and the fact that we are in it.

Mate relax - try and be positive all that matters is that we're through. Would you sooner have us dominated missed lots of chances and lost..like last week.

I recall in 85 Luton battered us in the semi but we won - who cares it's all about getting through.

You've rehabilitated yourself.

I always think that if people are wrong and they accept it, then that's showing good character.

Keep it up mate.

I thought that was a terrible performance by Martinez today. We played Bournemouth reserves today. We created nothing. At half time we were second best and needed him to manage the situation, he abdicated responsibility and left things as they were. We got a deflected goal and a second from a desperate corner. They missed a penalty and Gosling missed a sitter.
Today, at half time, was an opportunity to show leadership and nothing happened.
I extremely happy with the win and to be in the quarterfinals but if anyone is happy with what we just saw I despair.

Oh my..

Its almost as if we have had a bunch of easy games in the cups

Fact remains it's been since the 80's since we've made two deep cup runs.

Strolled it against a PL team with 15 minutes left. We did that also against City in the LC and with 10 men.

All the talk about 'game management' is mostly baloney.

I think a lot of "game management" has to be down to the individuals understanding the little things you have to do to hold onto a lead. It's a snide challenge before an opponent breaks the lines, it's taking the ball to the corner, putting your foot on the ball when you want to drive forward.

Not that there aren't things a manager can do to "manage" a game, but a lot of it and I would even say a majority of it is on the onus of the players to understand the situation and do the little things that can make the biggest difference when put together.

This is the second time this season we've been 90 minutes from wembley. Silverware beckons

Going to be honest, It would be more enjoyable if there was even a remote chance we could beat someone decent when the time arrives
