[Frang]

Dont know if these comments have been posted anywhere, I havent seen them - bit in bold sounds like he was working on defending set pieces

“I’m not the type of coach to point the finger. It’s not my way. I’m waiting for what I will say to the players.

"But at the level you are playing for this club, you have to be mature. We have to take our responsibility. Even with the big, big mistake of the referee at 2-2, we have to keep playing our game, not give them what they want every time, because every moment we apply our quality, we are better than them.

“When you spend a big part of the week preparing for what type of situations they can create problems for us, it’s a big disappointment for us.

“We have to take responsibility as a team and the players have to take their responsibility on the pitch. In the remainder of the season, I want to see more character. This is the moment to show it.

“I can imagine how our fans are feeling and all together we have to turn things around. Big fights will come. Maybe the character we showed in this game is not enough. In the bad moments, you see how many men, how many big characters and personalities you have to work at a big club like Everton.”

He's seems, err , very responsible

Mate your picking 45mins of a game,most of Martinez season was outstanding just because it went tits up don't you rejig it for Moyes benefits.

Nope, we actually played some pretty good football for most of that season under Moyes as we had done the previous season, I mearly used that Villa game as a highlight. I rember there being plenty of high and low points in 2012-13. What you fail to rember is all the low points of 13-14 under Martinez, like getting bummed 4-0 at Klanfield, or meekly surrendering any chance we had at fourth when we collapsed in the last few games. All we achieved in 13-14 was a single league place improvement built on a combination of the defensive metailty from Moyes still being embedded into the players and a fresh style catching all the other teams off guard. Teams figured us out before the season was over and never looked back.

FWIW I think Silva is a deadman walking, in terms of his ongoing tenure at Everton.

Please take your seat on the Silva bus next to @larrygobfiend .. thanks for your support beef

Least it was just a loan. Mina cost £27m(?). Scary.

No one in that defence deserves any credit bar Digne. And he's been a bit off the boil of late.

Digne created two goals for them and lost a challenge for the other. He had a mare yesterday.

Nope we didn't, but what we did do under Moyes was bottle every big game he was involved in.

 

[Frang]

It's becoming apparent, my fears that he can't organise a defence..

Are absolutely correct

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Finish around 6th and 7th place consistently and never win a trophy.

What did we do under Martinez? Finish in the bottom half and not win a trophy.

You see the difference? Both garbage but one is worse then the other.

BTW, as for "bottling games" could you please name one single game of significance that we won under Martinez?

Hardly Moyes's biggest fan but we've got less than 50 points in 3 of the five seasons since he left. Something we did once in 11 seasons under Moyes

Theirs much more important things to criticise

How long you giving him BB?

I’m not really enjoying the Moyes comparisons. Everton, and in fact football, was very different when he was here.

Sadly, I think a few more dour results and he could be gone before the seasons out.

I had high hopes for him but i just don’t think he’s got what it takes.

Defensive coach needed to work under Silva

 

[efcforever]

I'd consider Moyes back in the summer if things didn't go so well. Lots of weaknesses, but probably better in the role of head coach, and his natural caution around transfers would be eased with Brands (and hopefully Moshiri's funds).

Worked well with younger players, but also improved players and expected standards. Yes we bottled big games. Now we bottle most away games. I'll happily go back to bottling big away games again.

I was thinking about Moyes earlier and how he didn't tolerate lack of effort from his players. I'm sure he'd put a few of our current squad in their place.

Serious question though, do you think he's the same coach he was in 2012?

Could be.

I think, depending just how far we fall of course, he’ll see out the season minimum personally.
