Everton v Stoke City. 28th Dec at 1500.

He'd sit on the goal line in a wheel chair



Probably couldn't do any worse...

So about the same ability to command his box and claim crosses

How in the hell did we lose that? Oh well, this season ain't nothing now. Which sucks, because it should have been special.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Clattenburg you've done it to us again...[/QUOTE

How? Reckless defending. Stupid tackle to make. We are absolutely dreadful as a defensive unit. Last year I thought it was Barry providing no protection but Barry has been one of our better players this season.

 

[Ring master]

i hope all these tv people etc,dont come up with thats a good win as Goodsion is hard place to win etc for away teams,because its far from a hard place to win,and hasnt been for 3 years

Feel sick. It's getting worse under him

 

[tsubaki]

I don't know how anyone can defend Martinez on this.

Absolutely spot on. I'd have managed that game better from 3-2. Genuinely. Not even being egotistical there - I think most people could have done it better.

The mad thing is not only is there the tactical issue of what the game was at the time and who was being replaced, its that Besic is his signing and he wants to offload Naismith.

How on earth does he make that decision, given the circumstances?

 

[gianthogweed]

The manager said after the Necastle game we have learned from our mistakes utter [Poor language removed] rubbish the only way we will learn is by getting rid of that goalkeeper the defence is shot with that clown behind them and the longer he stays in the team this will continue

This is looking more and more like a defining season and sadly, beginning to look like for the wrong reasons. Big fan of Bobby's style of attacking football, but without defensive reinforcements AND some serious tightening up at the back, we're sadly doomed to being this inconsistent madness.

Coleman is looking back to his best and Rom is destined for big things. This Spurs clash is an absolute must win now if we're going to expect anything from the season.

This isn't to deflect from our defensive woes, but believe we just got Clattenburg'd as well. Soft pen considering Coleman got shoved earlier in the game

I'm not too arsed about the penalty decision, because we should never have been in a position to lose. Scoring 3 goals at home ought to be three points in the bag every single time.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Just watched 4 replays of the Pen, never a Pen, Clattenburg %&cked us again.

 

[njligernj]

at least we have the league cup to go, and FA cup
we can get something this year. I know the loss today is a hard one to take, but we can make up for it in the tourneys

Next year will be our year? Good grief.

Inconsistent madness is the best description of current Everton I've seen in a while.

 

[bignev23]

it's like Groundhog day every match. Can't believe it man.

 

[EvertonRhys]

We've had 18 months of this. Nothing's changing any time soon. Just more mystifying Martinez subs and ignorance.

 

[Ring master]

Jesus.....the more you think of it....Stoke just scored 4 at Goodison! That's absolutely ridiculous!!

yeah after scoring 6 away all season lol

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

I feel sorry for lukaku. He is so good he must be disappointed game after game after game

That's a worry
