I'm more convinced than ever that Naismith has a negative effect on our play, you need more than graft in the position he plays, it breaks down constantly with him and that's why we are not creating more chances.

Barkley came on and instantly played people in because he has the tight control, he has the ability to link play and find a man.

Big problem for us playing Naismith in that role, he's not good enough.
 
That is 4 points from two games, I'd take 4 points from our next two league games with a win and a draw from the Europa Cup games. We are obviously in disarray but I'm happy to pick up points when playing badly. Martinez has been criticised for the over passing of the ball and not playing the opposition but sticking to a style of play that other teams have worked out and can nullify. Today he set up to play a form team, while it was dull it got a point. I want to see Everton playing with style and flair but I don't want Everton to be the most stylish team in the Championship. Take a point and move forward.
 
Meaning lineker wouldnt score half as many for this side without service?

Playing left wing for barca he didnt perform just the same as lukaku today.

Play him in the box and get the ball into him and he will score.


Yeah, it's now 2015 though.

Naismith was excellent tonight, but I give up explaining why he was. He's the boo boy because he's not Belgian apparently.
 
Spot on.

Barkley needs to be in the side now. Playing 2 or 3 defensive mids means he has enough cover behind him.

Barry just amazes me. How he gets a game I will never know.

Appalling result, no even effort to attack, why isn't Kone starting. Defence is looking good the attack is shambolic.
 
You thought naismith had a good game? Possibly the worst player on the pitch today along with barry.

Gave the ball away so many times and not one positive pass.

Lukaku should expect at least 1 pass into feet from the attacking midfielder...instead he has naismith passing into RS players and lukaku has to run his socks off all game.
