Roberto Martinez


Always remember when we beat Everton to stay up and the Everton fans above us to in the North Stand couldn't wait to see the back of him.
Yet they loved Ancelotti who finished 10th.
Similar to the mags with Bruce and Benitez.
They also got relegated and never looked remotely organised. Excuse after excuse about selling players, in reality he wasted most of the money he had and spent around the same amount he sold, often on complete shit.

Got lucky getting the Everton job and as the solid basis left for him gradually eroded he was found wanting.
Getting relegated with Wigan from the PL doesn't make you a bad manager. The fact he kept them there for 4 seasons is a success ( and a FA cup win)

if he was called Robbie Martins he would be lucky to get the leyton orient job.A fancy forrin name and the footballing hipsters sing his praises

@Tex hates him iirc :lol:
 
Getting a slagging here for his ability to set up a defence but I'm pretty sure I watched them keep a clean sheet and look rock solid against Portugal last night.
 
I don't get the hype with Belgium.

They've got a handful of very very good players and a worldie in Kevin de Bruyne.
 
They have no more than 5 players who would get into an England or France side IMO.

Martinez clearly has them ticking at the minute, but I don't think they're all that.

Of course, they could win the tournament.
That’s a huge amount of good players to have in one side. You’re saying they have 5 better players than us and one world class player. How many sides have more than 5 really good players in this tournament?

Not 5 - No more than 5. De Bruyne would walk into any side in the world.
Depending on who you're replacing you might not get anyone other than him into an England or a France side.

They're good, but I don't think they're all that.
Yet again though, anything can happen in tournament football. They may well win it.
