Hmmmmm yes, as he's doing a bang up job with them isn't he? No wonder they love him, they never have to win games!

I'm off to paint the cat or something useful, I hate Everton.

Me too lid.

Of course they have to win games and today they tried their best, it just wasn't good enough but no shame in that.

Credit to West Brom for defending so well.

Point out where I praised him mate.

Oh look, I didn't! It was just you on here fuming again because Everton didn't make you feel better.

Where have you been past few games?

Praise?? It's the lack of criticism that's telling. Too easy.

Where was I? Right here. I said - if Mitrovic scores to makes it 1-1 (which he should have), we would have drawn that too.

We'll only know that in the future mate, right now I think we need a bit of patience, lest we turn into Newcastle.

The home form just isn't close to being acceptable. He has no excuses. he inherited an absolute fortress which is now a two foot tall wooden fence which is rotting to pieces.

How is that the managers fault?

Don't think he changed much in his tactics still tappy tippy after half time. And his subs were awful today.

The second half was even worse than the first half. Did we create anything that threatened their goal? None? He sticked Rom upfront on his own for 90 mins when West Brom had about 9 players in their own box.

Lads why don't you fire up FIFA Career Mode or Football Manager and show Martinez how it's really done.

You can play all the wingers at the same time and put one of our DMs in a SWPR position.

We will win the lot then.

Gardening? beekeeping?? wtf you one mate?
tactics weren't the problem today.

Interestingly Barkley should have got closer with his late chance rather than taking it first time. For me anyway.

The subs I agree with. I don't really ever want Kone on the pitch ever again.

'Mix it' is basically code for 'play the long ball' which clearly wouldn't work against a team like that.

I don't know the answer either. But I'm finding total blame on the boss hard today.

I don't know mate but as a manager he should think of these ideas it's why he's in charge. It's getting beyond frustrating now when a team goes in front it's usually curtians

Our best chances came when we passed the ball quickly and with purpose around their box.
That's the managers style.
I struggle to see how turning into hit and hope merchants would have got us a result.
The way Pulis has them drilled means they're more than capable of dealing with that.
