Believe that was the skintest of our skint years. Also W8-D4-L2 in the last 14 matches. Martinez hasn't had a run anywhere close to that the last two years.

Don't know about this place but Toffeeweb was poisonous about Moyes from about 2009 onwards.

Now, now - you know those stats are skewed unless you give '13/'14 a statistical weight of 5 seasons...

As spongebob has said I think he inherited a great defensive unit. Over time that has fallen away due to their mindset changing to more expansive football. Defence starts from the front though and lukaku is doing none. For me RM has got to go unfortunately.
Plenty were - Only finishing 7th despite that crazy summer spending of £1M on Magaye Gueye and Beckford on a free was the last straw. He didn't even have Europe to contend with.
I'm fairly convinced that a lot of people on here don't have long term memories beyond a few months.
For example, Lukaku has been on fire this season, but for some that equates to him always being completely boss, and completely disregarding when he most certainly wasn't.
Progress then?
Not really.
Despite the nonsense peddled about the EL campaign stymying our league campaign, we were doing all right in the league up until we came back from Wolfsburg with the EL group done and dusted.
We were about sixth or seventh and on a decent little run......and with the old "favourable run of fixtures" in December all looked good for a move toward the top four.
Then we went to Spurs on the Sunday, gave away a lead and it was all downhill clean through to a mini revival in late February as you say, coincidentally when the EL group stage had already commenced.
Hull at home on a freezing night in early December heralded what was to come over the next two or three months.
Even the solitary victory we had in that period, versus QPR at home, was mind numblingly boring and was the first game the boos started and let's be honest, the alarm bells began to ring about what lay in front of us over the next sixteen or seventeen months.
And counting
Then at the turn of the year the Polls started after every match and the nascent "Plotters", then a mere voice in the wilderness, were shouted down with their Cassandra like cries of deep foreboding
By myself among others
But no, I have never bought into the idea that the EL had a particularly adverse effect on last season.

I do not have a long term memory just for the record. Though I did feel last night as if I was watching Everton from the 90's
