Off injured.
hamstring apparently. twitter etc saying he will miss everton's cup semi at least.
Doyle, Murphy, Long, Arter, Judge, Coleman.
Russian roulette with my blood pressure every week.
Terry Dixon still not fit either.
Any more injuries and they will be calling me up!!
It's true but at the same time he has been one of our best performers and been at its best.
Lots of players underperforming under Martinez.he was raved about here by yes you guessed it.... ;)
Maybe he will get an FA cup winners medal, certainly has not been his best season at Everton.
I've always said I think that Martinez is suited to international management more than club management. He is good motivating for cup runs. But he just doesn't have it for the weekly grind. Everton were very good defensively under Moyes, and thats always been Martinez biggest problem.
I warned geysir he was an accident waiting to happen but...Quote:

It could also be said he's had two bad seasons out of nine as a club manager, maybe three if you include the relegation/cup win season.Quote:

Looks like Seamie dodged a bullet by being injured. Still, despite a personal horror show at Anfield The Times reports City and Chelsea are set to do battle over Stones.
He is the most over-rated player i have seen in a long long time.
Deloresean go back over some of the stuff CD and I ping-ponged about Martinez, specifically about his defensive record, and about how he always seemed to be in or around the bottom half, or worse fighting relegation. The teams seemed to be able produce these great results one-off, but without consistency and most of these were in cups. They could easily ship 3 or 4 goals in a game. Thats coming back to haunt him again - as his teams GA record will show down through the years. Whatever was working for the players, isnt obviously working anymore.
Saying that his major flaw as a manager is his teams inability to defend very well is just stating the obvious. Even his biggest fans wouldn't deny that.
Of course he was in or around the bottom half or fighting relegation, he was managing Wigan ffs.
And of course your last sentence is correct, again though, stating the obvious.
You need more than great one-off results to make a good international manager by the way, just ask the Northern Ireland fans.
Ya but he has shown over the course of a few cup runs that he can acheive these results more consistenly in a cup type environment.
And you say its obvious now, but go back to when I brought this up a few years ago, it wasn't so obvious and it was argued against!
Like I said, two of his three good cup runs have come this season, so I don't understand how that formed the basis for something you've "always said". Not to worry though, we won't go around in circles.Quote:

I think he's a good manager, or at least he has some good things going for him, but sometimes a manager gets stale at a club and it's time to move on.
I know what ye're saying but I wouldn't really agree. I think there was a very obvious difference when Wigan made that escape, the good form and confidence it brought facilitated the results. Many teams (seems like one every season!) have done that but I don't think it necessarily makes their managers more suitable for the international field.Quote:

Of course, cup runs are extremely draw dependent also. Producing results against lower league teams isn't really a sign of anything, and they would have made up a high percentage of the games. The one-off results thing does carry a bit of weight I suppose, but I think it's a bit harsh.
Even if Martinez is a manager who is only capable of producing one-off results, I still don't see why this would make him more suitable for international football, where consistency is just as important. And it's arguably even more important to be well organised and able to defend.
Anyway... He's been ruled out of tomorrow's semi final.

Well that article is starting to look really terrible as Everton are getting murdered down their right, poor Besic doesn't know what he's doing and just doesn't have the pace to cope there anyway.Quote:

Nice down to earth well reared country lad.
Seamie is gonna be on OTB on the football show so that's after 9.
It was a great interview. Definitely gonna be captain for the next few years now.
interview online here: http://cdn.radiocms.net/media/001/au...audio_file.mp3
Doubtful for the weekend with an ankle injury.
out for "several weeks" according to Everton's twitter: https://twitter.com/Everton/statuses/764448883489595392

Who is out for at least another two weeks BTW.
you wait all season for an Irish goalscorer in the Premier League, and then two come along at once!
Takes Everton up to second place so a good start from them, mind you they perhaps had few easy fixtures?
That's what they said about Leicester last year!!!
Interesting can't see it happening, mind you if man city were to flop (unlikely) the rest don't look much like champions. They are 50/1 by the way, but then Leicester were about 5000-1.Quote:

Captains Everton tonight.
They lost!!
Mind you I doubt the cup is priority?
Well following Arter's good performance I though I would check the stats (as one does)
and low and behold, look who is at number 3 in the stats? None other than out very own
Seamus Coleman!!
He has only played 3 Premiership games though, so maybe should not read too much into it!
Arter was actually at #146!
But it's is early days yet and Bournemouth have had some tough games, his sending off didn't help either!
Got bullied by Benteke for Palace's equaliser. 1-1 at Goodison.
you'd think his GAA background would prepare him for that
If he was allowed handle the ball he might have made up the four inch height difference alright!Quote:
