So true,we outperformed them for the entire 90 minutes, alas though no goals to show for it.

Bad Performers...
Osman - did he even pick his head up and play a forward pass all game? he just seemed to roll balls out the the wings and never looked like he wanted to play a forward pass.
Mirallas - People overrate him because he can do the odd step over and has a quick change of pace on the break which they find exciting, but when your playing as slow as Everton have been, then he is absolute tosh, he is a counter attacking player.
Jelavic - I feel sick in the pit of my stomach watching him play football, I have honestly never seen a player with such bad balance, he looks like he could fall over his own feet at any second.
Overall...
The rest of the team done fine, we hardly looked like conceding except from the one occasion when Jagielka was turned inside out. Sadly the 3 players I mentioned are all suppose to be attacking creative outlets and have done nothing in the 3 opening games.
Barkley got a little greedy at times and tried to go himself, but I would as-well with Jelavic in-front of me. Kone must start, although I thought Kone should have been on the of that Gerard cross, his link up play and passing was night and day compared to jelavic.

I dont think he is standing out as you put it but is simply the current whiping boy. Osmand and Felli's role in this new system does not require pace. They simply get it and give it to those with pace - Mirallas, Coleman, Kone, Deulofeu etc. - letting them to do their job. I feel that Ossie is doing this very well and the criticism is unjustified.

pretty much sums it all up for me. We're not playing bad at all but need to be more decisive and direct in the final third which Deufoleu started to do when he came in with 2 shots and good ball across the face of goal. An example would be when mirallas was played through and tried to switch it on to his right and lost it, needed to hit at frame with his left first time

He is not going to push the issue and certainly is a crab passer in the main. Obviously he can win 50/50s and play the ball forward or he wouldn't be a premier league midfielder if he didn't do that. Fellaini is exactly the player you've just mentioned that wins timely tackles and breaks up attacks. McCarthy isn't a patch on him in that regard whether he's in "monster form" or not. Fellaini in "monster form" would be when he almost single-handedly beat the champions on his own last year. They are completely different propositions, these two players. Fellaini is the kind of player we need at DM/CM, not McCarthy.
We have Gibson who can break up the odd attack and can play great offensive passes and look to have Barry coming in who can do a job. To compare McCarthy to Felli is way off for me. Gibbo is much the more similar player imo. Now add in the fact we'd be spending around £12m on him (us, Everton) and consider the other options, like Medel, that have already gone this year and I think we're making a mistake.
With glass half empty the last time we never won any of our first 3 league games was 2010-11
With glass half full the last time we were undefeated in our first 3 league games was 2006-07

Not having a dig or anything, but do you not think that you are not really giving Martinez a chance if you are constantly looking for and posting things which back up your original displeasure at him being given the job?
I thought you were giving him a season at least?

Fellaini was way below his best today,yet strangely enough there's hardly been a mention of this,yet Osman was scrutinised for the entire 90 minutes and every error has been blown out of proportion.

noobs? You fickin weirdo.
Please vault the person who said that, because I've not seen it written anywhere. Plenty have said McCarthy is not as good as Felli, but I don't think ANYONE has said McCarthy is worse than Osman in CM.
Not mentioned Martinez.

Yes but you're missing something...
Fellaini doesn't stink the place out every time he steps onto a football field.
