Newcastle v Everton. 28th Dec at 16.15.

He will be gone in the next week or so. The players have downed tools and it is obvious. Lot of fallout behind the scenes.
I doubt the club has budgeted for managerial change but we certainly have not budgeted for a low table finish or relegation either.

Fall outs behind the scenes? Assume you work at Finch Farm to know what goes on, so please share your inside information with us. Or have you been on Twitter, or got told by your mates Nans girlfriends dog walker? Making stuff up just doesn't help the situation.

We actually didn't play too bad football today and certainly not relegation football..I expect us to soon start picking up points stating with Hull.

Easy...West brom,Leicester and of course Crystal Palace

Martinez needs to cut out the c*** and sugar coating everything. To say there were some incredible performances after that shower is annoying.

Credit goes to Kone and Garbutt only and perhaps Baines & Mirallas, the rest were not too far off being a disgrace. We won't win any games with Alcaraz and Distin in the middle.

barry needs dropping complete shithouse today players just running past him like he weren't there and will someone please tell me why our 28 million pound striker is never in the 6 yard box always on the wing , only QPR conceded more than us this season utter terrible never been so angry as a Everton fan

WHICH PLAYERS DONT SUIT MARTINEZS STYLE IN YOUR OPINION?

All of them at the moment as his style is back back back.
We had naturally two good wing outlets now the ball arrives too late and goes back or McGeady loses it or Barry loses it or Distin loses it

Just like the interview after the Southampton drubbing.

Martinez playing players out of position isn't helping though. Why play Baines in midfield and play garbutt? Both left backs have played that game and besic is Sat on the bench. The mistakes are a reflection of his management style, the confidence and cohesion is gone. Barry cannot be anywhere near our starting 11 for hull. I don't care if we play osman in midfield, Barry can't be in the side.

Whatever team he goes with the fact is nobody is playing well in their position, nobody looks confident and more worryingly, nobody knows what themselves or the players around them are doing.That's the managers job.

Baines in midfield after the run of form we are on is a pisstake. You do that sort of thing in cup games or when you have nothing to play for, not when you desperately need points on the board.

Roberto talked up Baines in midfield just after close season, obviously his grand offensive ( or defensive)

ETo and barry draw your pensions = both past it!

 

[Wat Tyler]

Easy...West brom,Leicester and of course Crystal Palace

Out next four is hull away then city at home which are tough, then wba and palace who will probably have new managers in. It is a worrying time

 

[marty mcfly]

Do people actually think we will win the Europa?

Totally depends on what we do in January and if we can turn it around.

Personally we need to drop Barry. He's too slow and IMO all our problems stem from there.

We also need to stop playing Eto'o unless its for the last few mins as a forward but Kone is far ahead of him in my opinion.

Our centerbacks are poor but they're also being left hopelessly exposed. We need to get Jags and Stones fit.

 

[Mozza1987]

He is too stubborn and won't change something that every team in the league knows how to play against now. He needs to go in my opinion

 

[bainesontoast]

Leicester won away today.

Burnley drew away to the champions.

Palace drew away WITHOUT a manager.

These are teams with fight in them. We have a very, very worrying lack of that which is precisely why we are in a lot of trouble if something isn't changed.

Martinez said a few days ago that the results against Newcastle (and Hull) would be "pivotal" for our season.

Whatever your views on the guy, it seems a crazy thing to have said in the light of our ongoing crap form. He has very much put himself out into the firing line given today's poor display (yet again).
