If he plays osman I'll throttle him myself!Depends how many Moyes players he plays in the Final.

Ive never once said I wanted him sacked and meant it, my stance has been clear for a while now, not my fault you got the wrong end of the stick.
He talks utter tripe everytime he opens his mouth, I cant stand listening to him.
At the end of the day I support Everton, not Roberto Martinez, so if EVERTON get to Wembley, I will be there, just like I have the other 4 times Everton got to Wembley in my match going lifetime.

So many disappointing and frustrating things in the last couple of years but the way he has the team playing away from home is fantastic and deserves credit. I don't actually go away much now but when I did under Moyes the performances were always average and it was all about the result. Now under Martinez we actually dominate most away games for long periods. Hopefully he can get the home form sorted without coco the clown throwing the ball in his own net. Come on Roberto, you can do it.

Good grief.
Here's an interesting point though - let's set aside the defensive questions and ask whether Martinez has bought well. So, in effect, I'm asking, with a different manager to replace him, would he have left us in a better shape than when he arrived? I think one way to answer the question is to pit a Martinez XI against the remainder of the Moyes Squad
Martinez has - largely - bought younger players to supplement the existing squad.
His squad of players;
Robles,
Holgate, Mattioni, Funes Mori, Galloway - there's obviously a case to argue he's brought Stones into the side as well (Alcaraz bought and sold)
Macca, Lennon, Cleverley, Barry, Besic, McGeady - a lot of industry and only a little stardust
Geri, Rom, Kone, Oumar - the area where he's speculated a lot more.. (also E'too)
Moyes Squad:
Howard
Hibbert, Coleman, Baines, Jags, Stones
Barkley*, Osman, Pienaar, Oviedo, Gibson
Mirallas
- significant departures under Martinez you might add to the above (remaining players): Distin, Naismith, Jelavic, Anichebe, Fellaini
* whom Moyes didn't trust much
Total Spend - circa £40M
I think only a harsh critic would say he hasn't improved the squad. There's very little deadwood in our side - McGeady, Howard and Hibbert for sure - possibly all of whom won't be with us next season. The defence hasn't been improved a great deal though some promising youngsters have come (Galloway in particular).

The highlight reel at the end of the match had a glimpse of the second half kick off with lukaku and barkley kicking off the half and made realise how much they could do for this club potentially, there's so much they could do for everton in so many different ways, that image of theese two perfect specimen, jeez they look like demi gods! gives me this wonderful iconic vision of everton and I hate to say this but the manager who brought them to the team will probably be best to keep them at everton providing he grows a pair and wakes up to reality. Ahh what's the point I'll just enjoy what I can
22 players in 22 or so players out, we will lose roughly another 6-7 in the Summer.
No issue with the squad building for me, its what hes getting from the squad I take issue with.

Aye, I agree with that.
I've been saying for ages that, with this squad, we should be competing for a Europa League place based on our league position. That doesn't mean top six or bust, but we should be there, or thereabouts come the last five or six games of the season.
Anything else in the league, regardless of progress in cup competions, would be disappointing, though plainly, as a fan, winning something would more than make up for that dissapointment !

Mirallas only got about 2 minutes off the bench though. A proper manager would have started him in place of the Clev.
1 and a half out of 3 and a bonus quarter point for no Kone, takes him well over the "No sack threshold" for today IMO.
