Everton V Hull City Wednesday Dec 03 2014

[bicycleheader]

I suspect its because in some cases he is working with players he will replace when opportunity and finance permit. Supporters should not make the mistake of thinking the current Everton team is how Martinez envisages the completion of the project.

Everton is still very much a work in progress. He wants things quicker and sharper, and it will happen. I think our current centre backs are copping out with their aimless passing to each other, followed by the inevitable Moyes style welly. That will change when Stones gets back, and the next 18 months will see more purposeful playing out of defence.

Agree totally with this. We might even have an average season this year, but he has had only 3 transfer windows and cannot overhaul things completely in a short space of time. And personally I want him to be given the time to change, which will allow for a a poor season possibly.

I think Besic is an example of what we will see. I don´t care if people are freaking out about his errors, he is quick and technically good and no fear about passing forward or carrying it forward.

People get in a mood over current form and talk as if this is what it will be like always. Bit tired of saying it, but most fans have no patience.

we are gonna stuff Hull tonight.

Drop Barry?

If he's as fit as he was on Sunday, yes.

 

[meagher94]

He was awful against Spurs, kept losing possession, and not moving the ball quickly, coupled with lapses in concentration. If he isn't fully fit and up to his game, then yes, I'd drop him too.

Surely he's gonna be fitter than he was at the weekend though. I wouldn't drop him personally, I'd play him again with Besic.

Osman shouldn't be starting.

A lot more so than Barkley yeah.

So you would rather Osman than Barkley at DM?

 

[Del]

People wanting Besic and Osman as our DM's

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[cjuk87]

Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines

Besic

Mirallas Barkley Oviedo

Eto'o Lukaku

Barkley helping Besic out when needed, and behind the strikers when needed. Two upfront against a crap side. Support for Rom, goals galore.

10 - 1

HAHAHAHAHA

Osman played there against WHU and was possibly the best player on the pitch?

Osman's not the best player in his house

He bossed it against west ham and you wouldn't have been singing boom boom shake shake the room if it wasn't for him.

Osman is a god awful DM.

I like him going forward but he is shocking at providing any sort of cover for the defence.

 

[cjuk87]

Bossed?

LOL

Yeah bossed, Osman, Everton's true captain.

Ok i went OTT, but he did actually have a cracking game there, before the game i was stressing like mad over him playing at all
