I said from the start of this season that we would be a top 5 team and I stand by that, the Southampton loss was only because we had 10 men for the majority of the game and we outplayed Chelsea for large parts of that match too. Today we have outclassed your very own team who took 5th last season. Are you worried though? That was a very easy victory for us, perhaps the most one sided we've had this season.

Best of luck to you in the league.
You've looked good ever since Monk too over even though the results didn't go for him at first.

However you won't be Top 5.
 
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "The scoreline reflects the team that took the chances. During long spells we stopped Swansea from playing. It was an important game for us - for players who haven't played many minutes and to see where they are.

"If you analyse the chances Swansea had, they were few and far between. We had two or three very good situations. In many aspects, I was fairly pleased with that."

Why does every team take their chances against us then?, because we can't fkin defend...

Hi Brian x
 
I thought this was a wind up. Now i am actually fuming he said this. He can't be serious.

What would you rather he said? Do a Timmy Sherwood and slag them off

The players know more than anyone else defence is an issue. Everyone has pointed it out.

He stood by Jagielka after the first three games and he's improving. Same with Lukaku.

He's going to look for positives. That's Martinez. That's how he works. The opening 20 minutes we did look good but then it went completely boobs up
 
i dont care if its a nothing game in a nothing cup or wether it was second string or third string .
they are professional players and everything about that performance was not good enough for any team above league 2.
the tactics were poor , the defensive play was poor , offensive poor , attitude poor , passing poor , energy poor, movement poor , team awareness poor , no fight , no pride , no ideas , no skill , no class , just disgraceful . the overall style of play was pretty much unwatchable and unsupportable.

martinez should take his philosophy on how to play football and just throw it in the bin.
 
First time ever Swansea has beaten us? I had 3-1 to them so am a little annoyed at our inability to score (our defence confirmed my opinions on them though)
 
only positive from tonight is, Sterling's played 120 mins... so if he's anything like one of our mob, he's not gonna be able to play again on Saturday....
