Thank god we haven't got to put up with Everton for the next fortnight. Martinez says, "We showed terrific character." Sure he's on repeat. Such a horrible few weeks. The last three games we've ended stronger than we've begun matches, showing fatigue is definitely not an issue. What is, is baffling starting line ups, followed by subs that are either too late or not needed. How Hibbert has started four games in a row is beyond me. Crazy. Browning has shown himself to be perfectly capable when he's come on IMO. He may not have made so many mistakes since the Swansea game but teams are absolutely loving playing it down the left against us, and it causes the rest of the defence to creek. How Martinez doesn't see it is scary.
Other players have also been dreadful, so how their character can be praised I'll never know. Lukaku has been played out of position so much it seems as if he's lost total confidence, and his touch which has never been his strong point is now a complete attack-ender. I'm just hoping this is a typical poor Everton start and we'll pick up with more winnable games on the horizon. I just think confidence is now so low, coupled with all of our best players being injured means we're really in for a tough time of it. Not one game this season have we been consistent throughout.
That's it for me. Don't want to know until we kick off against Villa now!
