laughable mate, never seen moyes play through balls as well as martinez

Are you talking about through balls going sideways across the pitch? Yeah he's boss at them. The ones that go towards goal? Not seen many of them as only two midfielders play them and one is permanently injured whilst the other is shoehorned in at number 10 or on the wing.
 
Baines gets torn a new one by pace.

Don't rate Jagielka and Stones as partnership despite what stats will probably prove me wrong.

Our best player under Moyes was Osman.

Yakubu was better at most things than Lukaku.
 
Difference was Donovan was legit fantastic - Besic really, really isn't. He might be in time, but he's barely good enough for our bench, and in all honesty should be a reserve player or farmed out to a Championship club on loan at this stage in his career.

I think Barry has been really unappreciated this season. He got left out to dry by a terrible team unit, and his lack of pace made him stand out like a sore thumb. When we went more direct after the Newcastle game, he was one of our better players in the run in, but people ignored it and kept slating him for nothing.

Can't be bothered stating my view on Lukaku again, but let's just say I hope he kicks into gear sooner rather than later. Goals disguising a liability in our overall play currently.


This.
 
Moyes is a far better manager than Martinez is.

Moyes' football is far more exciting and not as negative as the dross Martinez serves up.

Martinez' brand of football is boring, cack, negative, tripe.

Besic is currently way off demanding a first team place for a club with ambitions of finishing in the top half of the Premier League. I doubt he will make it at Everton, and it will be no surprise to see him being sold before he ever holds down a starting place at Everton.

Barkley and Deulofeu are about the same standard of player, neither of them will reach the top as they are just not good enough. I don't think either of them are good enough for Everton either, and we currently have a situation were someone is being picked based on the hype of their name. This needs to stop, and we need to replace Barkley with someone who is actually capable of scoring and creating goals on a regular basis.

Our midfield is utter turd and that's were the game is won or lost, imo. I rate Stones very highly, to the point were I would value him at 50 million pound with a straight face. However I would advocate the sale of Stones, if it meant we could spend 50 million pound on our midfield. 50 million plus all the TV money we have could see us sign the likes of Van Dyke as a cheap replacement for Stones, followed by the signings of ACTUAL QUALITY MIDFIELDERS like Nolito, Cabaye, Konoplyanka and possibly even Milner.

Our midfield really is pathetic, especially from an attacking and creative perspective.
