I won't say anything negative as I'll probably get accused of knee jerking and not supporting the club. Just hope people at the club and some supporters realise what we are getting at the moment is simply not good enough

Thankfully the ref has given me 3 extra minutes for me to stick pins in my ballsack.

 

[f.t.r.s]

absoulutely pathetic,
sick of giving up cups because we have a big league game next
we'll get hammered on saturday seeing as none of our senior defenders apparently know how to defend

HIBBERT AND DISTIN SHOULD NEVER PLAY AGAIN

 

[gaino92]

This is going to far now, We'll be lucky to finish in the top 10 the way things are going, his tactics clearly aren't working why not try and change it up every now and then.

It's times like this I think it is do Everton to go and beat Liverpool after this. I don't feel like that tonight!

I don't know what's worse, how bad our defence is, or his unwillingness to change it.

 

[Tubey]

Last season Martinez inherited a solid defence from Moyes, this year age has caught up with Jagielka and Distin and they have deteriorated massively and he hasn't got a clue of how to change it.

Nah, too simplistic. Martinez inherited them, yes, but they played an entirely different way - the solidarity last year had little to do with Moyes, it was more to do with talented players blossoming in a setup that allowed them freedom to play and display their talent.

Problem this year is a ludicrous pre-season combined with baffling tactical decisions that remind everyone strongly of why Martinez at Wigan was ridiculed for his defensive setup. Now all momentum has been lost - and to be honest late last year there were signs of the decline.

Martinez deserves every ounce of criticism he gets for this - the test of him as a manager is how he bounces back from it. That side should never have been selected tonight because in terms of momentum for an important run of league games there was too much to lose by risking a thrashing like this.

JOKE

 

[No8Bally]

This lot look like they can't wait to get home

 

[teppic]

We have not played well but not badly. We are lacking that zip.

I am not looking forward to the derby even MORE. If that were possible

We have been woeful, with no tactical variation from the bench. Players and management piss poor.

 

[Mrk]

It's going to be a long season. A very [Poor language removed] long season.
