Oh look. Distin and Howard chucking points away. The pair of them have chucked away 5 points in three days. The pair of them need to go.
 


With regards to booing. Personally, it is not something I buy into but that's a personal trait. I will scream and shout to show frustration though.

However, like many other season ticket holders I've paid for the right to watch, support, and if need be, criticise my team.

You very rarely hear booing at Goodison in such vocal numbers, so maybe it is simply a sign to the players and staff how poor we currently are.

What about the meffs in front who manage one goal against Hull who had lost 4 on the trot?

All of them garbage - Osman stayed on, Mcgeady ffs
 
It's not knee-jerk because I've been thinking it for a while now, but I'm worried about us under Bob. Wigan had a good first season but struggled thereafter. I don't want us to be another club that wins a trophy and gets relegated. Maybe it's the Europa League effect - I hope it is - but the lack of a plan B is making us easy to play against.

I also see why DM dropped Ross because he gives the ball away far too often. Not much point playing a slow passing game if you can't pass to a blue shirt.
 
Osman, barkley, besic barry should not be on the pitch together. Its the same old story. Mirallas and lukaku were our only threats because theyd run the line. The rest is all through the middle and its too easy for teams to pack the midfield.

I don't know how Martinez cant see we need two dm's an am and two wide men. It's how we played all last season. Instead we've been starting this season with [Poor language removed] knows what formation and a load of central players stuck on the pitch together. It makes even less sense with mcgeady and pienaar on the bench.

I honestly don't know whats going on, I saw the team sheet and knew we'd struggle. We need to stretch these teams and to do that we need to move the ball down the flanks, with only mirallas and lukaku moving wide the ball is so slow in the middle, our fullbacks can't bomb forward and by the time it gets to the wide man the defence is set up with two banks of four.

We have been unlucky this season but that performance and the team selection/substitutes hammers home that Martinez isn't setting us up properly. Short passing around the centre backs with the dms dropping deep is fine if you have two wide men on to occupy their fullbacks, allowing your fullbacks to get forward. That's not what is happening though, we have barkley Osman, barry and besic all in central areas, their fullbacks push our full backs backwards and we have 9 men in our own half then everyone is scratching their heads why we aren't creating.
