Everton v Stoke City. 28th Dec at 1500.

Joselu hugging Clattenburg after he gave the penalty is infuriating.

 

[Blue Cheese]

We just don't have the personnel to play this style unfortunately. Defence is way to green to play like this. Which peeves me because I like attacking play.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Looked a pen from my seat 80 frogging yards away. What's the beef?

Should be FA action, but there won't be.

I said this the other day

would we have just left £28m in our bank account and gone into the season with no striker?

 

[Mrk]

Another tactical masterclass by agent Martinez. Transformation into Everton Athletic: Complete.

Because it wasn't a pen. Stones got the ball before the man, regardless of what angle the referee was looking at it from, it wasn't a penalty.

Despite what I said, Everton will probably turn up against City and do the business. Everton that.

Hope so,be a tonic for the troops

Not many teams have the personnel to play without defending

 

[Wat Tyler]

19goals conceded at Goodison in 10 games it is. Ridiculous

 

[streeky]

attack with 10 outfield players , go 1 down off comes the kitchen sink all in. Football management at it's most basic

A lukaku injury away from having Kone and Naismith up front for the season

 

[Blue 1]

We've got serious problems. This kind of crap is happening with monotonous regularity. Fed up.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Martinez should simply resign after that managerial performance.

If we nail the cup we're in Europa League, and Rom will hopefully stay for that (unless we get £50m from city or someone). I made the call last week that SN was unused quality and Cleverley has a lot to prove. The last two games I have to doff my cap to the wider remarks about SN and Cleverley on this forum.

Some wise heads on here. Earlier someone made the point about Stoke tiring (which they did a little), but then we switched off in classic Martinez style (albeit penalty unlucky and they did hit two worldies). Jags coming back soon which'll help and here's to the New Year.

Mirallas, SN - £10m the pair - who would we get with that?
