Watching telly and doing this too. I must be a woman, nothing else explains my multi tasking skills.

Kendall defo split the fan base, more than once. People often compare the situation now to Kendall Mk1 to justify sticking with Martinez, but that's a gross oversimplification.
Explosive crescendo incoming I fear..
 

Yeah but I recall us bending over and presenting a tub of Vaseline to literally every other team, take your blinkers off

Everton 3-1 Chelsea
Everton 6-2 Sunderland
Everton 4-0 Villa
Everton 3-0 Newcastle

literally every other team...

take your blinkers off...

Our home form has been poor. We were unlucky yesterday in that about 10 of the 34 shots we had weren't a foot to the left or right etc etc.

It happens and we couldn't find a way to beat a side that is managed by somebody who thrives off park the bus football.

no, we have made mistakes and been naïve, but we have kept going in every match..the team are clearly behind Roberto, look at villa and Chelsea(early season) for examples of teams giving up

Losing to relegation fodder in west brom and Swansea isn't good enough.

No it's not. I was simply pointing out that we had far from 'rolled over to literally every other team'.

No game in this league is easy. Many teams are finding it harder to win at home than away as well, for a varying range of factors.

It's frustrating, really frustrating, but it happens. It happened in RM's first season, it happened under Moyes. It's a defeat, we move on.

Granted we've struggled but I cannot question the effort. We have to be aware though that playing a team who have two banks of 4 sitting deep you have to find a way to pull players out of position, drag them into areas they do not want to play in and important to this is it must be a quick tempo. Everything Saturday was in front of them and square. Someone has to brave enough to quicken the tempo and encourage runners beyond their back lines!
 
Can't believe we got over 2500 pages on this ! Martinez style of play doesn't work, no plan b! I've watched Arsenal v Leicester game today and very impressed with hard work Leicester players have even though they lost ! Spurs also fantastic pressing ! Martinez hasn't got this in his locker !
