Progress

[balggy]

We would have lost that match last season. No wait, we did lose that match last season.

What did you realisticky expect after last seasons debacle. Look who is above us in the table. Any expectation to challenge them after the shambles Martinez left is deluded in the extreme.

We arn't even at Christmas and there is already an "I told you so" attitude amongst some blues. Like some are happier to be proven right on the Internet and have their status elevated on a forum than Everton winning matches.

If some of you were able to defend Martinez to the last, I'm sure you can give Koeman to Christmas. Not exactly a crisis.

The lack of movement again is disgraceful! Still we haven't put in a 90min performance.
It's sad to say but Jags is well and truly finished

 

[Titus Bramble]

Nope, he built this team of absolute pisspigs

Brilliant

Wasn't last year, it was all Bobby.

Supposedly it was a great squad last season that Martinez wasn't able to get the best out of because of his tactics, now Koeman can't get anything out of them it's a crap squad.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Defensively more organised, especially against set pieces. maybe player fitness better than last season also.

Hard to tell mate when they are all just strolling round the pitch.

No it wasn't, Martinez took a team that was top 6 and moulded it into the grim mid table side that it still is, that's why people hate him.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Utd will tear us a new one like Chelsea did if we continue like this!! Our next 3 home games

 

[Armchair Dave]

He agrees with the booing which is an improvement on Bobby thinking it's not helpful....

So Martinez turned the squad containing most of the same players now from a great squad into a crap squad with his tactics?

Yes, he absolutely did.

 

[Titus Bramble]

And if you want a direct comparison, we're better off now than we were after 12 games last season in the league position, points, games won and goals conceded columns.

The idea that we had a great squad last season is one of he biggest lies of the century. We had no top keeper, a mostly ageing defence, an injury prone midfield and no backup for Lukaku. Sadly, little has changed.

 

[davids]

The statement that after pre-season they were only at 70% fitness level was the first clue to how the season will go.Progress will be a top 10 finish,which even with this squad (with additions) should be doable.January window will be so important.

 

[davek]

Here's our progress this season...

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Yes, he absolutely did.

But it's still that great squad of players that Martinez cocked up, but now with some added quality in Williams and Gana that Koeman can't get anything out of? (I know it's still early days)
