What if Martinez stays.....

kiss the crest · December 31, 2015

All blues who want Martinez out should take a step back for a moment.

Why do we go the match?

We go the match to watch us win, we go to be entertained, we go for the atmosphere, we go in the hope that we may win a cup or the league. (We don't go for the Chang beer)

We want a team to compete with the best, we want a team of local youth players in it, we also want a manager who gets Everton and who has the same ambitions as us supporters.

We have that at the moment in Martinez, OK we our not defending great at the moment, but this team know they are good, we play most teams off the park and have something special around the corner, I also think most fans do as well, this is why we our all so frustrated.

I will leave you with this point, we play Man city shortly in a cup semi final, as fans we all know we have a great chance to win it, that is all down to Martinez and the team he has built, he has the team fearing no one could we have said the same under Moyes?

Good thread, though the last point...

How about we compare current Everton managers with Everton managers who actually achieved something of note?

I fully expect us to choke against City, same as we would have under Moyes.

This 'fear nobody' thing hasn't really worked in reality has it? Still no away wins against the usual suspects (barring the win against Moyes' Utd team)

If he stays and he loses some of this stubbornness he seems to have in his locker, we could go on to achieve things
Patience is the game and it is in short supply

Can't wait to have a full page of threads on the forum front page all dedicated to various Martinez scenarios.

We let in 4 at home to Stoke. Yeah, going into this with no fear.

Pacman · December 31, 2015

I've never actually felt more disheartened watching everton than I do at the moment. For all this talk of entertaining football I watch football to see us win. And the fact he can't deliver us that other than over the bottom 3 sides I'm not excited over the next couple of seasons of 10-12th place finishes.

bignev23 · December 31, 2015

He'll be judged on his results not if he is entertaining or not, possession football is all well and good and may impress but if you don't defend well it's all pointless, football is a results driven business. It's been an interesting season so far but hardly convincing that we're going to achieve anything, If we get to Wembley then it will mean a lot as the league will not be as important for this season then but it won't buy him no time with next seasons results. If he stays, and hopefully he will we'll be able to stop teams scoring nearly every time they attack and it will all fall into place.

If he stays it will be back to relegation scraps and the dark days of walter.
At least tim might break through the 500 appearence barrier

nsno-chris · December 31, 2015

I fear no team under martinez

Yet I fear how many goals we will concede under martinez

It's quite a predicament

toffee matt · December 31, 2015

Our big game record is no better than it was under Moyes

blue61 · December 31, 2015

Assuming he stays, lets say we finish mid table and Stones and Lukaku go, we don't get taken over, and we go into next season defending like the keystone cops without a 20 goal a season striker. Sorry guys, my cup is half empty, I hate New Year. Cheer me up ffs.
