Everton : The Frustration Continues

Nothing is straightforward with Everton is it? We had a great season last time out, done some decent business in the summer tying down Gareth Barry, Ross Barkley, Seamus Coleman, John Stones and bring in Romelu Lukaku, Muhamed Besic, Samuel Eto’o and Christian Atsu on loan and the optimism soared. Then we start the season and boom someone lets down the balloon to leave us all feeling a bit deflated.

Same Story But Very Different Everton

Roberto Martinez’s first competitive game in charge of Everton saw the Blues register a point at Carrow Road against a resilient Norwich City side on Saturday.

The pre-season has been a more exciting one than we have been used to for some time what with having a new manager, bringing in players early and integrating a new footballing philosophy had left Evertonians counting down the days till game 1.

The Blues arrived on East Anglia looking to get off to a positive start against a side that has proved to be a bit of a bogey side for Everton in these last couple of years. The Canaries had thwarted Everton in injury time in both fixtures last season after they grabbed a draw at Goodison Park they came from behind at Carrow Road and scored twice in the final 8 minutes to defeat David Moyes side after the Blues had been in control.

Welcome to a new weekly blog from myself on Everton as we go through the season, I will discuus my thoughts on the games and anything else that goes on at the Blues!

So as our first pre-season ends under new boss Roberto Martinez, our thoughts and focus immediately turn to the new Premier League campaign and Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday at 3pm.

Since David Moyes announced his decision to leave Everton in May after 11 years in charge, a new wind of change began to blow through the club. Many exotic names were mentioned as well as some not so exotic (yes Neil Lennon I am talking about you) before the early favourite Roberto Martinez was installed as Moyes’ successor.

Martinez and Our Own Maradona by Peter F

With Roberto Martinez ending his own lame duck period by making a number of signings, the change in management seems to have brought the unusual feelings of pre-season hope and optimism to Evertonians, with a clutch of interesting additions.

The club conducting their transfer business early is not something fans have become accustomed to, with the drama of deadline day signings a regular feature under the stewardship of David Moyes. The jury may still be out on the personnel brought in by the Spaniard, but whether or not they will feature heavily is yet to be seen. Arouna Kone, Antolin Alcaraz and Joel Robles are all trusted by the new manager, and after the likes of Phil Neville and Jan Mucha departed, the squad was in need of replacements. As well as the exciting acquisition of Gerard Deulofeu on loan for the season, it seems as though there are more signings in the pipeline, as the board try and back Martinez and help him build a squad which can cope with the rigours of a full Premier League season, hopefully chasing European football.

This past week Evertonians could have been forgiven for thinking it was December rather than July as Roberto Martinez began putting his own stamp on his new club. Four players, yes FOUR players were brought into the club in three days to get even the most miserable and negative supporter a little bit excited at the start of the Martinez reign.

So the worst kept secret in football is out, Roberto Martinez is the new manager of Everton Football Club. Now anyone who listens to the Footy Show, listens to The Blue Room or follows me on twitter, will know that Roberrrrrto certainly wasn’t my first choice the managers job at Goodison Park. However, apart from Thomas Tuchel at Mainz (and that would have been a gamble) I would find it difficult to name one outstanding candidate without having a counter argument against him! Let me quickly explain my reservations as far as Roberto Martinez is concerned.

It turns out we we were correct . #WhoKnew ???
