Haha you've gotta laugh at all the fume-ees calling for Martinez' head. COYB! (come on you bobby)

 

[Khalekan]

Baines left mid

Awful team selection

Newcastle will beat us easily today

If they do, this could be the beginning of the end for Martinez.

Strange looking team selections often presage an end of days in a managerial career.

Like he is unofficially admitting he hasn't a clue how to arrest a slide.

I hope we are both wrong, Del

 

[Goat]

Oh, did I mention.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[tadpole]

Seriously though, that's the worst everton lineup I've seen in years.

So so bad

Let's wait and see. We needed a bit of a shake-up. This lineup gives us more width than we've had in recent games, and Kone will give us a bit of extra pace up front. I don't think that asking the likes of Lukaku, Naismith and Barkley to play 3 games in a week would have done us any favours. Distin and Alcaraz obviously isn't our strongest CB partnership, but Martinez's hand was forced by injuries. I'm excited to see how Garbutt does in his first PL start.

Operation Goodison Exercise.....let mega-fume commence with team news in two minutes

There n'owt as predictable as team selection fume on GOT

 

[ijjysmith]

Can someone explain why Barry is captain?

NEGGED and reported for being a multi.

 

[orly]

cant we sack a manager between team announcements and kick off?

 

[mrb85]

the best that can be said of that team is that the Newcastle players and manager won't have a clue who's playing where. Problem is. neither will our own players probably.

 

[RFUS]

What's happened to Bryan? He can actually play LM but it looks like he's playing an out and out LB there instead.

 

[sageyefc]

Looking at it again, probably be,

Robles
coleman alcaraz distin baines
Mccarthy barry
mcgeady eto'o garbutt
kone​

 

[Azza]

Can someone explain why Barry is captain?

He's the new Osman.

Do you ever shut up with these awful, awful shouts? Jesus Christ lad the match hasn't even started.

We ain't winning with that side.

Any manager who leaves Barkley and Lukaku on the bench after a run of about 5 games without a win whilst playing the likes of Kone and eto'o deserves punting.

No excuses and the funny thing is ever since about 5 games in ive called this season and stuck to my guns whilst ive seen many on here go against their word and flip flap between "bobby is class/crap"

I guarantee after this drubbing today you all will be saying what I'm saying right now, except I have the guts to say what I see, not sugar coat it in some vein hope of a spawny win.

 

[riddick]

To be honest im kinda looking forward to this now. No idea what to expect. When im confident one way or another its usually an Everton loss.



I will also say our turge displays started this season when i got the two new kits. Awful crest, 5th. Boss crest and kit, awful.

 

[ijjysmith]

He's the new Osman.

As good an explanation as any really!
