Martinez on Tim Howard: "At the moment there is a bigger picture, nobody has got their position safe.

"Everyone is fighting for their starting spot, and it's no different for anyone but we have to get better as a team. The competition for places is always there, there are a lot of games in the next few weeks. There is going to be a lot of completion for places."

I don't know if that his him indirectly telling Howard that he's getting dropped or if he's dodging it completely.

I want Everton to do well in particular the league but our defence is poo it's like he doesn't know what to do with his defenders. I think we keep 1 clean sheet in the league games since August.

+7 GD like.

729,711 - average 38,406 2014-15.

690.763 - average 36.356 2012-13.

And that's because of Martinez, but things like defensive performance / winning 18 matches in 57 league fixtures isn't.

Ha ha ha.

Love it.

5 points better off I think?

5 points better off and much better to watch. But no further up the league, and considering the quality of play its so frustrating.

Honestly mate, keep it on the agenda or I'll ignore you, I told you I would be back and 1 win didn't mean all that much. Don't put words in my mouth.

You don't deserve to support Everton....

That the same Hughes who had Stoke do the double over us last season and finish above us, he also has then above us today after beating us and UTD in 48 hrs whilst having them in the all mighty LC SF and completely changing their identity? That Hughes?

I'm pretty sure I didn't say he was bad did I?

People will be along with names that are bad and unnatainable.

I find it hard to believe people think we have the money to sack and hire a manager at this point in a season.

But that's a different point too.

Defo frustrating.

Obviously we got very badly done over again by the our friend clatz, but the question really should have been why he persisted with that crazily aggressive lineup after going ahead. It was a mixture of naive, arrogant, and downright stupid. I like galloway for example, but with him being so bad at coming forward, what is the point in insisting he bombs up out of defense. It baffles me. And he also needs to grow a set and call clattenberg out on what he is. No pandering to his professionalism. Professionalism lol? That's a good un.

Watch spurs have a field day against us. It could be ugly.

Oh dear, I can imagine you were crying your eyes out writing that, kissing the badge on your chest whilst giving your Roberto Martinez figurine a little head rub. Stop thinking about me. Move on.

It is because of the type of football we are playing - down to Martinez IMO -that has the sold out signs up virtually every home game and our away allocation sold out.

Carry on with that and it WILL get ugly...

It's points we are talking. We are 11th or 12th now.

1 clean sheet at Goodison in 9/10 league games is bloody dreadful record.

While I think Martinez has is playing great football, to concede 2 goals at home, to stoke, from a winning position is inexcusable. I hope the penny drops. I really like what the bloke is doing but that is not defensible

I want Howard out of the club

Still absolutely fuming

I'm going to go and play FM now before I start agreeing with @ianefc

Well I apologise, I thought you meant that we have it so much better, therefore Hughes is a laughable consideration. Apologies.

Hughes who manages Stoke who've spent more than double our net in the last 5 seasons despite never selling anyone for any decent fee? That Hughes? From that Stoke? Bankrolled by bet365? The countries biggest online bookmaker? That Hughes, yes?
