Roberto Martinez Shenanigans: All Reaction Here

[Billy Dean]

You're right but 8-0 or 9-1. It makes history.

4-0 no.

Anyway, if Martinez is appointed, I will not moan and let him get on with the work. I will give him time maybe a season to prove.

Arsenal lost 8-2 and they're a consistent CL outfit. What's your point?

" Could Have been worse" is now our new motto FFS !!

whereas before it was "Careful What You Wish For"

There is a tendency for them to suffer heavy defeats because Roberto took defeats too easily. That is my point.

Wary but hopeful. If he's given proper backing then he might be okay, but that's a massive if.

Don't see the point in being negative about it tbh mate, as it now looks like he's 99% likely to be our new manager. All i know is we're more likely to win those one off games which are the difference between winning a trophy and not winning one for nearly 20 years.

The Cup Final sealed it for me, Mr. B.

I was well impressed at the way Wigan put it up to City even before they winning goal came.

As you say, the "one off games" will see a more positive approach under Martinez.

I can't wait for August.

Although I would have preferred someone of a higher calibre than Martinez he's young and ambitious and hopefully he'll be able to develop into a good manager here. After all, everyone has to make their name somewhere, why can't Martinez do it here? The only real reservations I have about Martinez is that he might be a bit too nice so he might not have that killer instinct and he plays that stupid 3-5-2 formation, I don't like it because it sacrifices too much of the defense and it leaves the wings very vulnerable but at the end of the day I don't really care, as long as it wins us games and improves us in the long run I'm happy.

he always plays 3-5-2 is a myth Speed, he doesn't however we have the players here to suit that formation so I wouldn't be too bothered if he did. It hasn't done Juventus any harm.

This is an excellent appointment, an attacking positive manager who has all the attributes we need to help us push on from the position we are in. Without positivity and a no fear approach we weren't going to go any further than were we have been stuck for the last 6 or 7 years. At least now we will give it a go.

I am back in love with the game. I was bored with Moyes, I went home and away but we knew what was coming and we had peaked under him unless we got significant investment. I now feel we have someone who can take us on from this position of strength even with our current financial restraints.

Up in the rarified atmosphere of Camp ManU where most of the trophies all reside there's an air of expectation about where the next killing is coming from. A few of the bigger lions in the Premier League pride occasionally get to eat at the top table and steal a portion of the trophy haul. ManCy Lion (who lives nearby), Chavski Lion with its fat Russian rump and dear old L'Arsenal (although that particular old lion hasn't been too well fed lately) and even sad old Anfield Lion gets an occasional hand on a lump of silver..

Meanwhile brave old Everton lion keeps approaching the trophy room with trepidation - frightened that one of the big old lions will bite his hand off whenever the smell of silver is in the air...

and yet, somewhere down the bottom of the pile there sits a brave little lion - one with only one leg.. but brave enough to steal in under the noses of the big boys and nick a bit of silver..

So, the moral of the story is: Stop worrying about the fact that Bobby is a little mouse - he likes the taste of silver.

(yeah ok, it's a bit trite but you get the point)

Made up. Guna be some attacking football at Goodison next season. Kev Mirallas will turn into a £30m winger and Nikica Jelavic a 20 goal a season Everton hero.

Out with the 4-5-1 hoofball. We'll be playing like Arsenal.

Nice one..
Can't wait.

There is no way that he will improve on Moyes progress.

We will finish about 10th and everyone will except it, with many of our fans making the same excuses as Martinez.

Top 4? No chance.

 

[toffee matt]

Dave whelan last week ' Everton are too small for martinez'

Dave Whelan this week 'Everton are the right club for martinez'

 

[Azza]

It's obvious that we'll improve 'football' wise... but I just can't see Martinez being able to progress us into CL places.

That's due to the current senior management of the club, not the man who hasn't even been appointed yet.

Get behind him if he is FFS.

The difference between us and top 4 is about £30+m per season. End of the day Moyes couldn't break the top 4 so if Martinez can get anywhere close I'd be very happy. Our target has to be a domestic trophy or 5th position.i.e Europa league.
