Martínez is transforming Everton

[Del]

Personally I think McCarthy can do that job on his own. Barry has done well but it's like we are missing an extra attacking player when we go forward!

Or the attacking options are not good enough

Barry is a better screen for the CBs, imo. I think McCarthy has the potential to turn into a more offensive player than he shows right now. He is getting in more advanced positions, but I think his mentality is still overwhelmingly to sense and snuff out danger.

6 clean-sheets this season after 11 games and 3 in a row now.

Last season we kept 9 clean sheets. From game 7 to game 15 we only won 1, lost 1 and drawn the rest.

We're doing fine so far and Martinez is doing fine. We are where we're expected to be (roughly).

It's not as if he took over the league champions and has already ruined their title chances ffs.

Do you realise that plastering everything you post with half naked women only makes you look like a hugely-closeted homosexual?

We've conceded 10 so far in 11 games. Having two CMs who dont get forward that often must contribute to that. Tinker with it and it might expose Jagielka/Distin, who play miles apart these days.

But you answer your own question, really. When Barkley plays we have a blend in that area, as Barkley is a good pivotal player between the CMs and the likes of Lukaku and Mirallas. - he has the pace and strength to funnel back and carry the ball forward. The system makes no sense with Osman in there instead of barkley. Martinez surprises me that he doesn't see it.

Your speaking a lot of sense currently davek

I'd also add that our wingers have not been up to the task so far this season.

RM needs to sort out his tactis as well as team selection.

In what way?

What happened to the passing game? when you have the likes of Jag still doing hoofball. Looking at the game how many sideways passes do you see. I always though the idea was to move towards the opponents goal.

We do and it would be quicker if players made themselves available for a pass rather than hiding. Sure it will come with time and when Martinez can get a few more (his type) players in. Jags and distin will always hoof unless someone makes themselves available to receive a pass
