I'm perplexed by his whole situation. I've not felt this underwhelmed and concerned about an Everton team since Smith and Walker.
In fact, I probably feel worse at the moment! After the highs of last season and the expectations we had in August, this is just ridiculous.
People will state that Moyes went through poor patches, which is true, but you knew he could revert to type.
He could get a team to defend well. He could get his players to work from the dressing room, so we eventually began to grind out results.
When things were okay, he then adapted to be more positive. With Martinez, I simply cannot see any evidence that we can do this.
Defensively we are shocking; I mean all over the place. Our midfield has no guile, strength or determination: things you need in a dogfight.
Some may blame the front line (they're not blameless), but if you aren't solid at the back and middle you are liable for a thumping. It's simple.
Martinez keeps playing the same style. He may have changed the formation today, however it was in the attempt to do the same stuff.
Rigid to the point of being ludicrous. Equally, he is unable to see or react to our problems to the point of absolute stupidity.
This club is not a testing ground for his ideas, as we are currently getting sucked into a relegation fight.
You need to be tight in this situation, not leaky! It may be a different club... different players... but this philosophy got Wigan relegated.
I wish we could give him the time he needs, yet I simply fear by the time he turns it around we'll already be standing on the edge of the abyss.
He is no longer worth the risk... Bye Bye Robbie. I am dreading to read his post match comments.
