The biggest problem we've got at the moment is imbalance, not the tactic. It's the players he's selecting. Coleman and Baines are having absolutely no joy, because they've got nobody to play quick, incisive passes with to get them in behind. You need to play two wingers every game, and you need to play a CREATIVE attacking midfielder who can pick a pass (bangs head against wall) - remedy this and we start winning again. Naismith does absolutely nothing creative.
 
Only thing I would say is MoyleZ also had a [Poor language removed] second season. We stuck with him and he ended up stabilising us.

Bobby is pissing me right off though, the brown shoed shiny headed tit.
 

Only question I would love to ask him is why our players didn't chase the ball into the ground today. It's goodison under lights. The ref was acting a cock . Perfect for a high intensity second half. We came out passed the ball the back stood off when they had the ball. Crowd went dead. Martinez stood with arms folded. No intensity. We are going to be in trouble this year. For those who don't think we will be in a regulation battle this season just wait 6 more days and have a look at the table. FFS Martinez get it sorted

Oh is it?

We are exactly where the team deserves to be. Our squad isnt better than those around us.

Perhaps it would be if they would play like it...but they are completely off it and so no. no this squad is not better than those other teams around it.

How many Stoke players would actually make it into out starting eleven mate? Shawcross and Begovic would be the only two, you could maybe even put an argument forward for Bojan but that's it.

I agree with you that we're positioned were we deserve to be and we've been performing like a bottom half side but on paper alone out squad should be finishing in the top seven, we are under performing.
 

All we are doing is passing the ball in our own half..and backwards my god it is frustrating to watch!

1,We used to be known as The Dogs of War...when playing teams like Stoke that dog needs to be let loose!
2,Martinez has no plan b and teams have worked us out...any team we play will now know how to beat a Martinez side.
3,Martinez must start to understand that us Everton fans won't wait until we are relegated like Wigan to send him packing!
4,Where was Peanuts ...why isn't he playing with Baines down the left + dribble and being fouled which gives Baines free kick opportunities?
5,Baines is no longer creating chances for others to score as he did last season.
6,Lukaku needs smaller feet because he is forever falling over them or mis-controlling the ball.
7,Today was missing a dibbler around the box to get free kicks and penalties ...Penars speciality but he wasn't brought on.
8,Liverpool won today ): I am off to find the nearest river!
 
Even though I'm angry and disgusted with the recent performances we can't be saying stuff like 'Martinez out' etc. because he deserves a chance to get himself out of this mess, we owe him that. Re-evaluate the situation at the end of the season and see how things look but now, no way. Hopefully he can turn it all around.
