Everton v Leicester City. 22nd Feb at 14.05.

[Stanley Parker]

Do you think if he'd made that change at around 75 minutes and not 89 minutes, that we might have even won the game?

If he had made the change earlier, then there would have been more goal chances at each end. We would have been more likely to score, and so would Liverpool.

Martinez was determined not to lose the game. As the game neared the end, he probably felt that Everton were gaining control and that Liverpool were less likely to score. The change was then worth the risk - and it so nearly worked.

 

[Stanley Parker]

I think he already does, hence why he does absolutely everything to go against what the fans want.

How did you want us to play in the Europa League?

Martinez was appointed to manage the team his own way. Nobody complained about his style last season.

If he isn't pleasing the fans this season, it's not for want of trying - and he's certainly not deliberately trying to aggravate them.

And if the loudest fans had had their way, Robles wouldn't have appeared in the first team again.

his handling over insubordination is a disgrace and shows how weak a manager he is

moyes didn't put up with anyone's BS

over mirallas penalty incident he goes 'mirallas felt confident about scoring, his friend just died and he wanted to take it'

when distin was mouthing off he continued to play him in the first team rather than revert to youth until he got injured

when lukaku mouth's off he says that it was a misunderstanding and he was misquoted rather than drop him into the reserves

baines could literally poop in his mother's mouth and martinez would come up with a lame excuse.

Or maybe you're talking utter wank. Moyes drained the life out of every striker and young player we had.

Perhaps you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors versus what is said to the media?

You want me to play with 2 wingers? Nah I'm just gonna stick Naismith on the left. [Poor language removed] you all

You want Gareth Barry dropped? Nah he's gonna play every minute of every game. [Poor language removed] you all

You want Robles to be rewarded for his fine displays by keeping his place in goal? Nah I'm going to drop him as soon as the Yank clown is back fit. [Poor language removed] you all

You want Luke Garbutt to be given a chance to build on his so far promising displays? Nah I'm gonna play Tony Hibbert instead. [Poor language removed] you all

Call me stupid but I'd like to think he's a tad more professional than resorting to these kind of tactics. As much as he baffles me at times, I honestly can't go with this theory.

How do you know what was said in the dressing room - its hardly going to be the same as what was said to the press.
I was furious on the night but if, as is claimed, Mirallas wanted to take the pen in tribute, I for one am a little more forgiving although it was still irritating and very foolish - I'm sure it won't happen again.

No - not literally. And don't you think that it's a rather offensive suggestion?

 

[Yorkie]

Naismith as player-manager and Robles to be knighted with immediate effect.
Seriously though, still coming to terms with Sunday. Woeful performance.

Would it be a good idea to drop our most direct player and our £28m striker when we're struggling already? What good would come of it?

c'mon spud

I was not unhappy to snatch a draw against a team that is playing for its PL life. I was more annoyed about Stoke grabbing that late winner as Stoke is the team to gauge our self by this season. I would like to think we can nip at their heels.

whats that famous saying, no single player or player (s) are bigger than the club

It's not about being bigger than the club, it's about being the best at the club

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

They countered three or four times in the first half and set up with five in defence most of the time.

File Leicester in the box marked "another small time club set up not to lose and stop Everton playing".

They had more shots on target, and more corners than Everton; who was the team at home?
