Right had a few games now. Can see Sam's plan is not to lose has no idea how to set up to win.

Finally you see the light.

Hopefully McCarthy is off the club

Let me guess, pass back, hoof up lose possession

GwladysBlue · December 30, 2017

Yeah, that’ll really shake them up.

Formation doesn’t change. Get out, Sam.

This team is worse than Moyes year II. Remember the Martinez era? Played some nice football then, this is utterly crap

Martinez was the best I've ever seen Everton (Martinez year one/two anyway)

Disclaimer, I actually enjoyed spanking some of europes best teams 4-0. Shame we shot ourselves in the foot against Kiev.

Exactly what happened. Why do we do that??!

It's why Pienaar and Arteta were so absolutely crucial and boss. We controlled midfield with them.

To some extent we did with Barry too.

Barry is still a way better footballer than Schniederlin, Gueye, Davies or McCarthy and he’s 38 isn’t he?

beggars belief just how bad that really was, we have not once threatened a chance let alone one on target. seems incredulous a team which sits in the top half of supposedly the best league in the world can play or to be precise not play like that.

I suppose it is the best league in the world but this league only has 7 teams that are competitive and the rest would struggle in any other league.

KaiserEFC · December 30, 2017

Rooney next to Gueye going forward, Gylfi number 10 Bolasie on the wing with Lennon is the answer. Play it in their half.

longers · December 30, 2017

oddly enough we've had more possession, wonder how much of that was in our own half...

Osamabindiesel · December 30, 2017

I'd rather Morgan off than McCarthy. That's how disappointed with his positioning for that goal.

absolutely loved the football during martinez first year. unfortunately it all went crap cause he had no idea how to put up a defence. He was lucky to get Moyes defence when he took over.

The new fully paid 5 year contract he got the following summer had an impact as well imo.
