Think there is some real revisionist stuff about Moyes, people talk like we should have taken that squad with Anichebe and Jelavic up front and finished top 4 easy.
We still can't win at the same old grounds, we still bottle big games. Only difference is Roberto has been significantly bankrolled to do it.

The good thing is, that's easily remedied with a new manager and a summer transfer window.
He did stumble his way blindly onto the correct formula in season 1, though...
...and then blindly off it again.

True, although of course we still bottled it when it mattered.

I don't really get the "But if he wins the cup..." argument.
Why wait until we get knocked out to sack him? This is our best chance at silverware in god knows how long, and in my opinion, we have more of a chance of doing it without him.
Southampton and Liverpool are 2 really difficult games. We could easily be going into this semi final on a run of 5 defeats and 2 draws.

Martinez Wants Home Comfort, by GrandOldTeam
Roberto Martinez is keen for Everton to get back to expecting to win at Goodison.
Martinez: “It’s almost that we’ve gone away from expecting to win a football game once we turn up at Goodison,” said Martinez on Friday. “I remember two years ago, with the home record that we had, we felt so confident we knew that – even if it would take until the last minute of the game – we would get a win. Now we need to work hard to change that back, because at the moment it seems like we’ve got [to where] it’s always a situation that we could lose something at home and we need to change that because, clearly, the quality we’ve got in the squad is better than the results we’ve collected.
“The away form will show you that the contrasting results are quite extreme. If you look, it’s 10 clean sheets in the 23 games that we’ve played [away] and, in the league, only two defeats in 16 games is the best record we’ve ever had at the Club. We’ve been very strong defensively, we always carry a threat, we’re an attacking team, we pride ourselves on being a team that can break anyone down and we’ve done that.
“At home, it’s a completely different story. We’ve been punished. Too often defensively we’ve conceded too many goals. The bravery and the attacking play has always been there and you’re not the fourth highest-scoring team in the league [at home] for nothing. But, clearly, the balance at home hasn’t been right and the amount of defeats – sometimes they’ve been too harsh or undeserved – but the reality is there has been too many defeats and that has affected our campaign in the league too much.
“But it’s not a question of the quality or the balance of the side, it’s a question of ourselves having a bit more luck, because at times it happens, but also of just feeling at ease and a bit more positive that, if we do things well, we will get the positive result.”

Nothing to do with being blatantly unfit. Nothing to do with an appalling amount of goals conceded.
It's just luck. That's all it is.

Why all the Moyes stuff? Moshri won't want him as manager

I agree, the PL should move immediately to hereby amend the PL tables by adding a unlucky column. We can the give the most unluckiest-team award to the club at the end of the season based on......errrrrmmmmmm

He's forgotten ridiculous substitutions at key moments, he's forgotten the lack of a leader on and off the pitch, he's forgotten the fact that they do not do any defensive drills as obviously he knows best and far more than all the most successful managers in the history of club football, he's forgott........ah forget it!

Because he's ridiculously open at home. Sides wait for us to make a mistake then are clinical.
Can't really remember a time we went 2 up and just seen out a game. Change tactics. Be difficult to break down, especially at home.
We got 2 up and play to score 2 more.
