Newcastle v Everton. 28th Dec at 16.15.

[Del]

Hull had the better of us at home a few weeks back

 

[jazzy]

disgusting

 

[daz4matty]

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

I have never seen a team give the ball away so much.
For most of that match we were 2nd best and the backward passing was awful
We are not too good to go down and thats something like 7 losses in 9 games including the europa league.

 

[Minimeister]

I feel like punching a horse.

 

[Azza]

Jelavic will have a field day against Distin, Alcaraz and Robles. lol lol lol

 

[Professor Toffee]

ETo and barry draw your pensions = both past it!

I think we have an issue Barry on 3 year , Eto'o on 2 year contracts
Jags and baines now on long contracts and looking poor
I guess with these long contracts we won't have funds in January

 

[edge]

got to get something in the squad and quick, or we are in the crap, its not a blip its gone on all season,
to be honest i am trying to keep faith with martineze but its wearing a bit thin, never the same team , players out of position all over the show and its the level of passion that is worrying, dont want to go into a fight at the bottom with him in charge on this showing.

 

[evertony]

Sharp knives, short memories, not Everton that I'm afraid.

 

[Blu Bianco]

I feel like punching a horse.

Better than trying to flog a dead one to a potential investor!

So the terrible footbal and results are down to injuries ???? And the players were incredible today ????

What a deluded clown. Wake up to reality roberto ! The formation is junk . The tactics are junk .the football is dull. The players efforts are pathetic and the fans are bored with the lot of it and the laughable positive post match murmerings of someone whos clearly in denial .

 

[Toffee-nerd]

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

I know he did but why is he doing it now? In a game we need to win to stop the rot he moves our left back to midfield. Why? Do the basics right and we can get points. Him moving players makes more problems. Do it in a cup game or at the end of the season when we are sorted but not in a game we need to win. It's ludicrous management it really is.

 

[Typhoo Toffee]

Just seen martinez s interview,all I heard was waffle waffle waffle.

I agree. All the talk about injuries and suspensions yet we have been playing as bad with a near full strength side. I am not a knee-jerk merchant but I think Bob's days are numbered.

 

[bicycleheader]

He's not flexible. He hasnt changed a thing. Literally every single team has sussed us out, yet he is not changing anything to the detriment of our league form. You can legislate that 'personal gaffes' and 'bad ref decisions' have played a part in some, but we are in a very dangerous position halfway through the season.

Im going to wait another 4 hours or so to calm down but its not looking good for anyone on the team..

whoever plays and whatever their starting position they seem to play poorly. I don't agree he is as inflexible as people are making out.

teams sussing us out doesn't seem to have stopped us scoring on a regular enough basis until this month. so for me the horrific errors we commit at the worst times..and which always seem to lead to goals are having more of an impact than tactical problems.

We are in a poor position...not yet dangerous. people are too lily-livered. we are very poor this season but its only half way through.

I don't mind if some think we are in danger of relegation and are worried. I do mind the posters clamouring for the manager to be sacked without giving any kind of context for the situation we are in.

 

[Seanjj]

we do. The players are not performing.

I don't see that the fault lies solely with tactics and the boss. He didn't make McGeady play like he was asleep and didn't make Ross have a horror show when he replaced him.

I just hope they get a break soon and somehow find some points and confidence.

Things will pickup..no we can forget 4th (so sad that we actually are living in times where i actually say such a self defeating thing when we used to be Champions!) We have too much quality in the side to keep losing so next up is Hull which we really do stand a decent chance of winning then after that West ham at home so 6 points are there to be won if we can wake the f**kers up!

 

[deipnosophist]

Bad results for Everton this weekend with all our rivals except Hull gaining points on us
