It's been done to death, but the only reason Martinez had a good first season was because our defense was drilled back then. From the first day since Martinez took over the defensive worries were neglected, and are still plaguing us to this day.

Chatting [Poor language removed] Sam. You're playing with basically 7 or more defensive players versus teams like WBA and Bournemouth. Our last win, vs Swansea we had an almost balanced lineup with Gylfi, Rooney, Lennon and DCL. Saying we have little goal threat and lack offensive qualities when we're fielding...

This was his chance to prove that he could do it. In a run of games where he needed to reorganize a defense that has seen steady degrade since Moyes left he's had to get them up to pace with games every 3-4 days. When was the last time we saw a confident Everton defensive display apart from...

We are past worry. Think Unsy was left hung to dry since day one, worried about what this will do to him as I think him, along with the U23s he coached, had a potential future here. As mooted by some, maybe he should step down. Don't think it's in his character at all though.

As always, eloquent and to the point. Please just don't be Big Sam though, that will only set us back a further 3 years.

I'm saying no manager will say that they will turn this around in the weeks up to january, every manager coming in will have to make january work for them and whoever comes in will tell us to disregard results until then because they have had no time to make the squad their own. Big Sam won't...

This is bullshit though, because if they were known for organising a defense well then that doesn't matter. Fact remains our back 4 are a bit crap. Ageing, injury-ridden with no bottle what so ever. Big Sam won't change that until january. When he will sign another bunch of ageing stop gaps on...

Not sure if joking or..? He signs stop gaps, many who are still hit and miss. We have a youth side of worldies though.. Not many that fit Big Sam's mold though, apart from the strong CF part but I can't see them coming in and bullying defenders twice their age.

Trade for french international Morgan Schneiderlin?

If BFS comes in be sure that he will completely disregard the one thing that has been a positive for these past 2-3 years, the kids coming through. We'll have another batch of 32-35 year old who are 'proven'. Regardless of the manager coming in, the january window is more important for the...

1. Forget about Giroud, Andy Carroll in on loan while out injured until May. 2. Get some yard dogs in the mold of Kevin Davies to try and break bones of other team's players instead of having ours broken. 3. Possession will be split equally between us and opposition as the ball will be out of...

I think Unsy should at least be given a string of 4-6 games. Chelsea away showed a huge improvement, but I think the big problem he has is how does he shore up a defense that has been criminally under-coached for the past 4-5 years? They look woeful in positional awareness, they don't know how...

Kone was 6m and shot. Didn't have one good game for us and would rank alongside Niasse, except he didn't have the latter's drive. Even with our current defense having aged 3-4 years since then, anything we have now is better than Alcaraz was then. Holgate is just as mistake-prone but will...

Put Besic and Keane in beside Jags, I think Jags is badly needed with Williams losing his head every other situation.

I wouldn't rely on DCL for goals, but he's done well at chasing down balls and winning hoofs. He doesn't have anyone around him though. I think it makes sense for us to play 2 forwards with Rooney being one of them as he needs legs around him to create space for him, and for him to create space...
