The points are close you're right but I think beating West Brom and Swansea at home shall be the right results if this club are going to get an Europa place though league position.

Fine margins, and im not ready to sack the managed based on those tiny margins.

Depends what style of football you prefer.

Moyes celebrated 7th, Bobby wont.

Martinez would celebrate a 3-0 defeat let alone a top half finish.

Well, I'd be very, very surprised if he stayed. If anything this summer, what with China getting all powerful, we should be looking at generating some huge cash for transfers by selling Stones. If we can keep Kaks, that'd be amazing, as he's worth 15 points alone per season.

Stones is good, but you don't win points for having young English players who do Cruyff turns in their own six yard box.

Imagine we didn't have Lukaku this season, doesn't bear thinking about.

Kaks??? Dear me!

If 60 points get you 6th and you finish in the 10th place with 57 points then these tiny margins do count and is a hard lesson.

Exactly, so you would sack a manager for those 3 points ??

How? Enlighten me please. Like 20 wins in 64 league games right Bungle?

Based on the league results since the start of 2014-2015 season? Yes but now is not the right time as I have asserted.

He still have 12 league games to make things right.

Big difference between outcome and intent. As shown on Saturday, a manager who apparently plays 'not to lose' beat a manager who apparently always 'plays to win'. Pretty similar in the league table as well, such is the folly of selecting managers on intangible intentions. Any change in the outcome of Everton's big games from Moyes to Martinez? Not as of yet. The approach therefore is irrelevant.
