Romey 1878 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think Martinez would argue the injuries peaked before he left. Apparently. Donachie seems to suggest he was wanting to keep players back, whereas 'others' were wanting to rush them back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right and Roberto said in one of his press conferences that the injuries have lessened since then. So inadvertent blaming of Donachie or coincidental cause and effect. Your choice. Donacchie didn't get another job yet right? Must not have been the "field leading" guy he thought he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're obviously both going to blame each other, so we'll never know what really happened, if anything happened at all. He didn't get a new job yet because he's on gardening leave.

So not only do they fire you but you can't work another job for a specified amount of time? Sounds like a terrible policy. Here in the states if you get terminated you are able to get employed at any time, there's not limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry mate, I'm just playing devils advocate after the dark cloud he left under. I'm sure it tough being a physio whilst your boss is also qualified in your field. I can imagine Roberto having a few different opinions to the physio on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think that's an obvious really. He has missed so much so to bring him back and play him twice in his first week back would seem a risk to me. We're not likely to get much from Chelsea so I wouldn't mind him getting a bit more rest after the Liverpool match. If he is injured again then that's a different story.

Newty82 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Oh you including "big teams" here. He hasn't changed a thing we're still shit. In that case...neither has Gibson, Mirallas etc. The whole team is below par. Trying to score personal points over one player just because some rate him highly is...well...pointless. Do you know what I mean? I'm finding Lukaku terribly frustrating. But I find it hard to just pick him out when the whole team still hasn't got going.

But it wasn't me spouting all kinds of shite about James McCarthy making us a better team. I think it's proved a point that we still ain't won a PL game with him back.

Hafnia Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 "Evertons season was ticking along nicely before he was injured in Wolfsburg in November. Since then, the collapse has been bewildering. How much has been down to his absence? He has missed 14 games so far and Everton have won just two; with him in the team the win percentage jumps from 14.3 to 36 and they are also more potent in front of goal."

To be fair I think he is talking bollocks because at no point has our season ever been ticking along nicely, in fact we have been shite all season, with or without McCarthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 If McCarthy can add more goals to his game and get forward like he did yesterday he could well grow into one of my favourite players. Gibson and McCarthy looked a very good partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Agree. Those two looked really good together and actually complimented each other. Some of McCarthy first time balls on the turn down the channels were excellent today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
