Martinez happy with Everton’s ‘fight’

Utter disgrace, an embarrassment for even a club like Norwich let alone Everton.

We just now await our routine execution at the hands of our neighbours on Wednesday, which no doubt Martinez will be overjoyed if we win a corner all game.

Good luck to any supporters going to the next few matches, never before have I had such little expectation for two massive matches. Supporting this Everton team really is enough to put even the most ardent fan off football.

If these players can't play for the first team when required then why did we give them new contracts, Osman, Pienaar, Hibbert, Kone, and Gibson need to be moved on in the summer. Mirallas, Deulofeu, Besic, and Oviedo all need to be told to improve their game or they will be next.

Martinez in talking bollocks non-shock!!!

By the way, the deranged meff who ran on was like a TW thread in human(ish) form.

"I demand you all witness my anger!" (then lashing out at attempts to curtail insane behaviour).

FUCK OFF MARTINEZ, he's making me ridiculously angry. I wish the fan had cracked him one.

"But we have a really good opportunity to take advantage of where we are.

"We are competing in the (FA Cup) semi-final and we have games where we want to make fans proud.

"That is what we are going to do from now until the end of the season, make sure they are proud of our performances and results."

This was said after today's game. You couldn't make it up.

I want Martinez gone but I believe his remit, endorsed by Kenwright, is to do more or less what he is doing; keep us safe and have a cup run. I do not think for a moment that Mr Moshiri will suddenly become a hands on ruthless owner. Marinez is here, in my view,as long as Bill is.So, I hope for the best and watch and support with fingers crossed.

Anybody know why these lads were in the squad and not some of the older non-regulars and also what numbers did they wear? 103 or higher?

Making gold out of shit...

'Martinez: Gracías y adíos'

I wouldn't display it until the end, obviously. I will be hoping and praying we can do it. But I can't see anything other than 2 defeats again this week. The wider world, and maybe some people on our board, need to realise how bad this fool is doing. He is the master of spin, so he has kidded everyone to thinking that our away record is fantastic. Yes we have only lost 2, but we have only won 5! Watford have won 6! There are several Premiership teams with better away records than ours.

We were dreadful today. After an hour, they had had 12 attempts to our 2. They had hit the post and the bar. They battered us.

You are right saying he's safe whilst Papa Bill is still in the driving seat but I think that'll only be until the summer (fingers crossed).

As Joe said 33 and 41 which were unassigned squad numbers. Both lads did ok.

What was most worrying about today was the obvious lack of spirit in the side, we were out fought and out muscled all over the pitch.

Only Funes Mori, Stones and Coleman came out with any credit from the starting XI.

Oviedo got absolutely taken apart, as bad a performance by a full back I've seen. Besic who was touted as captain material by some had another stinker, maybe not as bad as Arsenal but not too far behind.

Deulofeu literally bottled out of every challenge, if ever there was a player to sum up the Martinez era it is him. Kone was er Kone.

Gibson despite some nice touches faded and actually had cramp after 80 minutes. I mean a fucking professional footballer earning c.£2m a year not fit enough to play 90 minutes. Only under this regime.

I still think we could win next week, we have the players and maybe the big stage will be motivation enough to see another Chelsea performance.

It still won't hide the fact there is something rotten about this current set up.

This year however we have continued the decline and performances apart from the odd one-off that we seem to reserve for the cup have been poor. The only exception was the first 70 mins against West Ham that we still managed to throw away at the end. Again I hold Martinez personally responsible for that capitulation.

The key for me continues to be the lack of urgency and tempo that appears to permeate through the whole team. Fitness also seems to be a problem which is an absolute disgrace for professional sportsmen.

We have not played flowing attacking football for some time now and we don't appear to be anywhere near getting that formula back for whatever reason.

Teams that are doing well in this league always work hard and have a high tempo. Leicester and Liverpool more recently have demonstrated that as did City tonight. Too many of our players go through the motions with no fear of reprisal in terms of getting dropped.

I love the blues and don't believe in sacking managers for the sake of it, but really fear for us next year if Bobby remains in charge. Thanks for the positives Bobby but the last two years have made me grey and I have to say I don't enjoy going the game any more.

The last thing I need after is your comments that bear no resemblance to what has actually happened on the pitch. Say it as it is...please.

....and don't get me started on Niasse!

Talk about a rebuilding job! It's going to take the next manager more than a summer to change the style and mentality.

Leave it till November when we are in the bottom five. It may be to late!!

I wished he'd have sparked the prick out before we had to endure his usual post match bullshit routine.

I've not renewing until after next week unfolds. If he's still in charge - I'm thinking of not renewing my membership for next season. I can't take anymore.

I utterly despise him now.

To me it sounded like much of the ground did the same which is why I was surprised to read that report on Sky Sports.

Let's see what your really made of then, I'll be amazed if we win either game.

Agreed from where I was sat in the Park End a few clapped him but he got more boos than anything. At the end of the day whether you agree with his sentiments or not he's still a prize knob head.

And one who's probably not going to see too many games for a while.

"A real understanding of the responsibility to win games at Everton and I think we have done that away from home" hmm could have sworn we have only won one more away than at home.....reading that you would expect our away record to be exemplary, not just one more win than a new low win ratio at home.

"We found a way to compete against Southampton" blimey missed that bit. Why didnt someone tell me we competed. Darn it, bet I missed that bit when I fell asleep only to be rudely awoken when that bloody Goodison exercise shite bing bong woke me and everyone around me. However we certainly did compete, well I may add, for the total dick award (pitch invader) and also man masquerading as a footballer award for sheer cheek by trying something so blatantly beyind his capabilities (Kones ridiculous overhead kick attempt) to be fair that made the 1st half actually bearable.

"We looked a little disjointed and rusty" there are old Raleigh choppers lying in aged skips with less rust in it than our side today.

Even at this stage of the season players are unfit and incapable of performing at the highest level. Coleman should never be pulling a hamstring 50 minutes in if hes fit. That's a sign of not warming up or tired tissue due to being unfit. Alas Oviedo given the runaround all game. Ross when he came looked more like a chunky rugby union back row forward than a young lithe athletic midfielder. A 60 a day smoker has more puff in his lungs than Del boy and a blind man has more chance of finding a pass than Kone. To be honest I am struggling to find any positive....anybody want to help me out feel free. Maybe Funes Mori actually having a shot and his sliding tackle saving a point being the only ones.

So yes I would like to jump inside Martinezs head for an hour just to see what he sees cos its sure as fuck isn't anything like what I witness at the game. Each and every performance is getting more woeful with every game. There is no point keeping him till after the cup game. Damage may already be done. We have had some shit teams in the past but by god at least most of those teams showed a little bit more effort than that shambles today. If I was a Southampton fan I would be feeling well and truely mugged off only coming away with a point.

Ha ha ha ha ha and we have the RS....away....next......cant wait to hear the superlatives that comes out if his stupid fucking idiotic mouth when we get fucked over at the khazi again. We will be in a moment that will reap rich rewards in the new season of 2020 and this terribly unlucky 5 0 close game in which we competed well in our own 18 yard area of which we had overall possesion stats in which the goalie kicked incredibly from the dead ball and the defenders were phenomenal in picking the ball out of the net, we will learn to bend our backs when picking up said ball and will come back stronger to make sure that we remove the doormat from our chests next time we play at this quite astounding ground. COCKWOMBLE!!

I wish I could withhold my support until Martinez has gone without affecting the team, jeopardising my seat and costing me money!

But what happens in the meantime? How does he motivate the team?

Clearly the motivation is lost, yet I'm reminded of Howard's "window speech" in Oxford.

That also annoys me about the players – why aren't they doing it for us? As this team, the best we have potentially had in years, is likely to be split up after this campaign, why doesn't one of them just say "Bollox-screw Martinez, we are good enough so lets do it our way"

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Makes as much sense as Bobby.

I expected a protest against RM but that was a bit much. There was a guy behind me who held up a Martinez out sheet of A4 after the game. A few people started clapping him. I thought a plane may have been hired today.

I am resigned now to the fact that Martinez is here to the end of the season.

Fans are deserting us in droves, the players seem to have lost interest, and no one believes a word he says any longer (when they can understand him). Please save our club, get rid of this clown before it's too late.

I'm nearly 43 and 2-3 months of intense running and training and even I would make the team. Something now right with that deal if you ask me.

Is he another cousin of George Weah by any chance? Ha ha...

I have been feckin saturated with "Change.org" feckin emails since last week – wish I had never signed the feckin thing – more annoying than Martinez interviews!

You can see it in all their body language they are not trying. Even all that ridiculous passing and keeping the ball was absent in the last 2-3 games and that has come from the players.

Fuck me, what a brave warrior. Was it in comic sans font sized 16? He'll be gone after that.

Love it, Martinez's summary of the game about as relevant as Stevie Wonder's

I'm going to throw a name in the hat that I haven't seen mentioned once anywhere who I think would be a perfect fit for our club. Top bloke, very good manager, good people person, NOT a bullshit artist, British, players who have played for him love him, not cringe worthy in press interviews, respect from his peers and plays the game the way we would want...

Mr Moshiri – please bring Sean Dyche aboard! [Dons tin hat.]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSpx92Xoukk

If that's not enough to see him be removed from his post, then he will be here for the full term of his contract.

Good shout.

However, he is a loyal person and will stick with Burnley, despite his back stabbing experience at Watford!!!

However, after today and his usual post match drivel, I've signed it!

He's doing my head in... Just go will yer!!!!

When we lose the derby and the semi he will still be saying we will try to make the supportes proud of us in the last 2 games.

Blackburn wasnt a one off mate. It was a prolonged concerted, disgraceful, hate campaign. Those fans became a laughing stock... especially when they went down anyway, just as the Geordie's did when they thought it was a good idea to make complete twats of themselves. I don't recall ever seeing a protest against any manager which didnt have the rest of football sniggering.

The very nature of TW kinda guarantees a pretty accurate picture whenever a poll is conducted. The suggestion that our board is not aware of it, is frankly, for the birds. They know alright. They hear the boos at the match. They hear the silence even more clearly.

Mockers @26

I cant believe I'm saying this, but I agree 100% with EVERYTHING you said.
You check the weather forecast in Hell and I'll check the tower to see if the ravens are fucking off

There is a complete lack of respect for the fans by both men.

I'm also with you that organised protests are counter productive especially whilst there is still stuff to play for.

Polls, petitions and banners will be ignored whilst we remain in the Cup. It's not Kenwright's style. If we do somehow win the Cup he will also be here at the start of next season.

However two defeats this week and it will probably be a different story but I still would not bet money on it. Kenwright definitely has a stubborn streak.

Anyone able to decipher this load of bollocks?

That may sound rediculous but what have we got to lose if it happens?

I would rather see Unsy and Dunc in charge and at least go down kicking and screaming like a petulant child than roll over like an obedient dog.

Someone clearly needs to fire this team up and give them some self belief as well as a backbone, that is not happening under this manager and we seem to play in a malaise with no purpose or fight.

It means we will not get relegated.

MARTINEZ...........

Not looking forward to Wednesday.

Let's hope Moshiri doesn't have too much more patience.

If that was the case, what's stopping the poor overpaid cherubs doing it now?

They play for us and the shirt, as well as the manager, don't they?

Now, I will hold my hands up to posting some pretty moronic rants on here and I want Martinez gone, without a doubt. However, my wife, long suffering and at the end of her tether, suggested that perhaps Martinez ("or whatever his name is", as she calls him) might know more than me. But surely he can't know more than all of us, can he?

It's this kind of lethargy that has been our downfall, the chairman, manager and now the players happy to turn out, put no energy into anything they do and go home to their mansions in their Jaguars and Mercedes.

Why would a chairman divulge the Everton managerial position to a random fan? I take it with a pinch of salt.

However I'm sure most employees of the club are sworn to secrecy not to divulge any information. Just as if Kenwright or Moshiri are going to tell a complete stranger about Martinez. Get a grip, will you!!
