So he went to Utd and won. Big fkin deal. If the Barcodes can go to OT and win, anyone can. Whipping boys of the Prem Utd at the mo ;)

And he then goes to the Emirates and draws – wow wee. Not like we never won there is it?

The Evertonians that I know worshipped Moyes just 12 months ago and used to bait me about Bob and Wigan…and are now worshipping Bob, laughing at Moyes and hoping he gets sacked. And what exactly did he do wrong? 4 years of underachievement? No. Relegation? No. No silverware? No.

I have no problem in recognising that Bob has proved that his philosophy – with the right resources – can deliver results. Christ he he gave us s glimpse for 10 or so games. But without the long term resources of the really big teams that will also run out of steam for Everton at some point.

Doesn’t change the fact that he left us in the shit – cup or no cup – and that he was the catalyst for the recent mess we’ve been through. And that’s coming from someone who’s rather enjoying being out of the Prem circus.

For someone who thinks Bob is old news and we should only be thinking about our club, you seem quite knowledgable about’s Martinez’s team selections Barnsley ;)

Bollocks he may have, but just as his football shows, he also possesses very little tact.
Rather than reactively rile the fans even more, he’d have done better by being more empathetic. But then again, how many managers are when faced with such criticism? It’s much easier to argue your position than concede it.

Managers have been sacked in stronger positions than we are now, but those shouting for him to go are going to end up with very hoarse voices.
3 home defeats in a week and a potential drop out of Europe will be nowhere near enough to sway DW to pull the trigger – no matter how crap our play, how irate the fans or how unmotivated the players. As you say, we’re still on the edge of the playoffs with a game in hand – and 2/3 of the season to go.

Christ – DW let PJ and RM lose 9 on the trot and stuck with em, and even let Hutchings go for 6 or 7 losses from top spot before pulling the plug.
Like it or not, unless we’re bottom 3, out of Europe AND have just lost our opening FA Cup game to a lower league team…FKW is here to stay.

First half overall I thought we were the better team, despite Zulte starting to control – we could have been 3 or 4 up. But as soon as their equaliser went in the heads dropped, the passion faded and the mistakes started to happen.

And for some reason we came out in the 2nd half with even less fire in the belly – perhaps the manner of their goal hit them hard.
Never have I seen so many Latics players so sluggish and dinterestes in getting back up the field – it was pathetic.

Not only are we in serious danger of not qualifying, we could end up finishing bottom of the group.

Can you blame him? He didn’t have a role. Rather than hug the line he was always 10 yards in and was either being bypassed or taking the ball standing still and just passing it back out cos he had 2-3 players on him. Several times tonight it looked like he was the right back and Boyce was the marauding winger.
When he finally got into the game with about 15 min to go he got subbed!

Wow – is this the first ever foolish thread on CL? My we are an intelligent bunch aren’t we?
Just be thankful Barnsley that most of the Martinez disgruntlement is posted in this thread rather than clogging up the rest of this hive of intellectuallness.
