Watching Everton is a blast unless you support Everton

Why are we arsed about entertaining neutrals. I'd prefer us to actually win games which unfortunately is something that Martinez isn't very good at.

We are a free wheelin' gang of football purists.

People see us as swaggering all out attacking footballing Gods.

I miss read. Apologies @davek

Oh ok then.

Don't get me wrong...I'd rather win 5-4 than 1-nil...but the emphasis is on win.

We would all like to win games emphatically be that along the lines of 7-1, an enthralling 5-4 or a confident 3-0 each week.

But as you mention, at the moment we aren't meeting the criteria of actually winning games. I'd be happy with just 1-0 than these shockers.

It's not sustainable to win high scoring affairs regularly. It's only sustainable to win regularly when you have a solid defensive spine who help you get through games where you maybe don't play that well.

Playing the way we do, it's no shock we're losing as many as we win. Too much left to luck.

My biggest worry is how we are pinning so many hopes on the return of Jags sorting all our defending problems. I fear he will take several games to get up to speed. Not much will change unless we change keeper (and Robles plays well) and that All players are told to work harder to get the ball back when we lose it. Too many seem to think it is someone else's job.

I want us to be "entertaining the neutrals" in Europe next season and with the squad we have its a completely reasonable hope. At the moment it doesn't look or feel like it's going to happen which will be a crying shame.

Trouble is entertainers aren't winners, see Keegans Newcastle for example.

 

[The Equaliser]

Despite the inaccuracies in the article the central point is valid - entertaining without winning is useless.

 

[Toffeelover]

I didn't realise this feller was brain dead. Good effort for someone in those circumstances though.

Just like McNulty, Hey Dave and those other journos who do not toe your line.

Watching us is like having dead ace, filthy sex then getting kicked in the balls before you can cum

Amazing

Was speaking to my old man about this very thing.

We guarantee goals. At both ends.

Ended with us agree that the score on Sunday will be Everton 5 (Lukaku 4, Osman) Spurs 8 (Kane 5, Lamela, Alderweireld, Son).

Who hasn't scored for spurs yet? BEN Davies? Clinton n'jie? They'll get one

"Journalist" Mcnulty?

Ha Ha Ha. He's flotsam.

Anything you wanna' discuss man...promise we won't make fun of you.

The great entertainers - Canon and Ball and the Chuckle Bros at the back defending

That was the one false note in the article admittedly.

No, he also said that Tim Howard was still competent.
