Mate he got fired with Lukaku and the Prince Koeman Slayer (aka Niasse) available to him.

Bloody depressing this. I've not enjoyed watching us for years now. I just want to see attacking football, you know goals, quick passing, maybe some cool dribbling.
Jesus, Martinez back to instill discipline post-Lampard.
Let's not forget Koeman having to tell players to lose weight: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/performance/training/why-did-kevin-mirallas-lose-one-stone-weight
Barry admitting standards dropped: https://metro.co.uk/2016/09/17/all-...artinez-at-everton-says-gareth-barry-6134240/
And Baines admitting that there was no chemistry on the pitch in season 2: https://www.skysports.com/football/...es-right-to-question-the-chemistry-at-everton
Nu uh.

Don’t forget Graeme Jones saying that there’s no point practicing set pieces because you only have to defend 3 in a game and if you have 100% possession you’ll never have to defend anyway.
Fine logical thought there ?
Palace was very much the exception this season, in that it's probably the only game that I can see we overwhelmingly deserved to win. Don;t get me wrong, there have been a lot of tight games, that could have gone either way, but that was the only 1 sided match in our favour.
My own take, is that Palace got it tactically wrong and really played into our hands.

Another poster mentioned earlier on today about this (no idea who) The lazy/slack culture that seems to exist within the club in general, it all seemed to start around the time that Martinez was in charge.
Indeed. I seem to recall some mocking Moyes for being a dour disciplinarian. Phenomenal!
You have to feel for Lampard. Trying to change a culture, repair the bitterness post-Benitez, and rebuild our utterly duff squad. Regardless of whether he's up to it or not, that's a tough gig.

But we have got rid of alot of players so why it's is not going away.
Our players don't look like top footballers. It's like watching a team playing with a fireball, they don't want to get on the ball. They are frightened

This is terrible. How is he still employed?
I bet villa are regretting letting Gerard go because ‘we don’t want another change’
The bar was low enough with Rafael and now he’s surpassed his points low point.
We know how this script works. We will spend next 7 weeks talking about it, sign a couple of players and end up losing to wolves. He’ll be fired and we’ll be saying - ‘we wasted 7 weeks.’

I think we'll leave it too long and ultimately pay the price.
Bournemouth
Notts Forest
With either us or Southampton as the 3 to drop.
Typical Everton this !!
He said something yesterday that really worried me. Basically that we were favourites for relegation at the start of the season. He was almost talking about us as if we were just promoted and hadn't spent any cash.
Like don't get me wrong, this is a poor team, but I found that very surprising, too far and a bit indicative of how he sees this team. As it seems to be how he is setting us up. Like we are a Norwich and if we can grind out 0-0's that's a great achievement.
We weren't favourites for the drop at the start of the season, I think we were like 5th favourite to go down with the bookies. I do completely accept we have lost Richarlison, but we have added to CB's with great PL experience, a midfielder who also has lots of PL experience and another midfielder who has a lot of talent. So there is some upside to what we have done.
I just worry that's the message he's giving to the players, that we are just looking to survive and it kind of shows. It's one thing to say we are primarily looking to survive, but to say we were favourites for the drop, just felt too far to me. I don't think Benitez would have got away with saying it.
