Let's keep dispatching the lower teams. That is what top clubs do week in week out.

Well in RM

Feels good doesn't it mate. I hated the moyes era but now I am loving my football again, and we have the classiest manager in the league.

Martinez on changing the mentality.

ROFL

gun to a gun fight

After all the jibes from Moyes in the build up to the match, Roberto truly had the last laugh.

You beautiful Spanish man!

Martinez is the best thing I've ever been wrong about. Delighted at being made to look a mug for my lack of faith. Delighted.

He's cracked open a window on that club and let some fresh air in.

The latter Moyes years we're utterly dreadful...yes, there was a few decent performances every few months, but his style was crushing the life out of us.

No mate, Martinez the clown can't keep clean sheets.

Where are those fools now?!

Including a clean sheet at Old Trafford.

We've kept 5 more clean sheets than Manchester United this season and conceded 5 goals less than Manchester United.

Always said that if he fixes the balance between being overly adventurous with the defence, he'll deliver.

He had the right idea and mentality at Wigan just not the players.

He's just light years ahead of his predecessor in every single way.
He reminds me of when Wenger first went to Arsenal - he took an ageing squad that was used to playing defensive football, and completely revolutionized the way the they approach the game. I see exactly the same effect happening at Everton.

I would say that aside from Arsenal, Everton have played the best football in the EPL so far this season.
