The Everton manager is under a lot of pressure at Goodison Park as his squad, which contains several internationals and one of the best strikers in the Premier League, has under-performed badly this campaign.
The Merseysiders did beat Stoke on Saturday 3-0, and with two Irish internationals still at the club in the form of Seamus Coleman and James McCarthy [not forgetting Darron Gibson], there is naturally a keen interest in the club's fortunes.
The Ireland midfielder is pretty much a nailed on starter in most games, but Roberto Martinez feels that his partner in the centre of the park deserves huge credit for his performances this term and perhaps, just perhaps, he could become an all-time Premier League great.
Tom Cleverley was involved in two of three goals at the Britannia, and afterwards Roberto Martinez made a claim that will probably have many Manchester United, and Aston Villa fans, guffawing into their cornflakes this morning.
Martinez feels that the England player is so good, that the club are fortunate to be giving him his thousands in wages every week.
“I think you do not have a better English player. Technically, he is as good as you get. The way he executes, how he reads the game, for me he is one of the most sensational you are going to see in Premier League history. “I wouldn’t sell him for any money in the current market. I want to see him go from strength to strength because I know there is so much more to come.”This is Tom Cleverley we're talking about here.
