Players That Should Follow Martinez Out The Door

If your name isn't Ross Barkley, do one.

Also, Ross needs to lose weight. You can balance a pint on his backside.
 
I don't get all the McCarthy hate. I mean, yeah, his form is atrocious right now, but I can see him being useful as the sole defensive mid in a team, more or less because it's what he does best and going forward isn't his strength AT ALL.

But it's weird, because if you look at him in Hamilton and all that, he was an attacking midfielder with a good finish and an eye for goal - nowadays he can't kick a ball further than 20 feet ffs
McCarthy was wigatonised after spending too long under Booby.
Under a decent manger, he will refind his mojo.
 
Personally I'm bored of him. Bored of having the most boring centre midfield partnerships in the history of football altogether tbh, sign someone decent who can do more than run around

McCarthy is more than capable of being a very good defensive midfielder. He's not the best passer though, but it isn't his game and doesn't have to be if we get someone in there alongside him (this is nothing against Barry, who has been very good, but in terms of options going forward then, due to age, McCarthy is the one who has the upper hand)
 
I wouldn't get rid of too many players and I don't think we need an overhaul which some people bizarrely think. If I were the new manager I'd be focused on who to GET rather than who to get RID of.

It's clear that Howard, Pienaar, Osman, Hibbert, McGeady and most probably Gibson are going out the door. That's SIX players. And we need to replace them with a goalkeeper, a rightback, and a left footed winger. That is paramount.

It was the manager that needed changing. Cleverley is a good player, but he is never a left winger, which is where Martinez stupidly played him.

Well said. Evolution not revolution. Wholesale change almost never works.
 
See no reason to bin Clevs off; he was free and doesn't have to be a starter but is a decent squad player. Some of you are asking us to bin like 10 players - slightly large transition for one window don't you think.
 
I think a fresh approach and a good preseason will make a big enough difference.
A lot of players don't suit all managers styles.
 
Osman, hibbert, pienaar, gibson, kone and mattioni are obvious ones. But would also get rid of oviedo, mcaleny and garbutt, oviedo is never fit, mcaleny has had more chances to breakthrough than any other youngster and has failed and i fear garbutt may just be hype from ourselves and never be worthy

You're saying Osman and Hibbo, but both of them have played for longer than Howard and are barely getting a mention in the pre-match social media and programmes from Everton

The end may not quite be in sight
