No mate, this is taken from all of the matches that Martinez has managed Everton for so as not to skew the statistics to prove an opinion to be fact.

Perspective.

Be cool.

It's all good.

Don't get me wrong I really hope he can be a success but we have to start picking points up now.

I'll put my hands up here, Martinez was to blame against Palace, fancy running onto the pitch and moving the goal posts, not once, but 3 times so we wouldn't score.

It was the woodwork, it was the added time, it was the opposition keeper, it was the Europa league, it was the legacy of Moye, it was the referee, maybe when we stop blaming everything else for our mediocrity we might actually improve.

We play lovely football though, passes and shots and stuff, oh and yeah we have to take kick offs a few times

Just imagine we lost Rom, the replacement won't be as good and those lost goals with the current defence would have us in midtable. That's the major worry for me, Lukakus goals are papering over alot of cracks imo think Suarez in Rodgers liverpool.

Dear Lord. You actually think this team is mediocre?

That's about the worst appraisal of any football team I've ever seen. It's staggering.

I am reasonably ok about stuff. Not seen the match, but listened to the 1st half, and we were epic.

This "2 Half" sydrome is really odd, and annoying, but nothing more than that. Some tweeks, some changes in luck/finishing, and the annoying things can go, leaving us the ace things.

Said last year when it was bewildering that it is dead easier to fix a side that concedes too many/easily than it is to correct one that cant score.

Funny how this BAWK attitude comes from across the pond and yet we Yanks are meant to be the spoiled ones...

I hate this boss footy we are playing at the min, it's great to watch but how are we ever going to win the league when we drop points against poor sides

My worry is we have the best first eleven in Europe at the min and he's holding them all back with his management

Moyes had his critics but he never dropped points against lower sides and his football was such a joy to behold

If he wasn't here THEY wouldn't be here. It's as simple as that.

Do you think that no mark dullard Moyes could attract and get playing players of the quality of Lukaku and Deulofeu..or use the likes of Stones and Barkley properly?

Be my guest mate, get a Moyes clone in and see these players exit the club ASAP.

Exactly the same sort of small club/ 'lucky to have this fella' thinking that saddled us with ginger for over 10 years

Not at all. We're building toward a special team. This is good but can and will get better.

How about exercising a bit of patience with what are obviously the best players and manager we've had for decades?

Not much to ask for like is it?
