Things Martinez must to do save Everton’s season

GET NASTY

Everton are too nice. They were too nice long before Martinez arrived on Merseyside but must get nasty if they are to challenge. Don’t cheat, of course, but the Blues must start to make their grievances heard.

Stoke, ultimately, were awarded a penalty late on at Goodison after crowding the ref. Mark Clattenburg appeared to have his doubts over whether John Stones had fouled Marko Arnautovic in the area and was perhaps swayed by the sudden surge of Potters players who instantly surrounded him.

Earlier on, Everton should have had a spot kick after Coleman was tripped. Did we make a big song and dance? Not really.

Martinez needs to instil some nasty into this squad or we will forever remain on the wrong end of these costly decisions.
