Match Thread Everton v West Ham. 5th March at 1500.

[Ring master]

time to start blaming the Ref,lukaku,mirallas,the subs,etc lol

 

[Jags..class]

Plus Coleman does my head in as wel

 

[Ferg]

Imagine the fume if we do an Everton and throw this away after missing a pen.

Yeah, cheers Everton. Another weekend ruined. Boss that.

 

[Muggins]

See I knew people would come up with this.

How about the novelty of defensive training and organisation? Defending crosses? We're playing a side that rely SOLELY ON CROSSES, surely that is an alarm bell? Surely he'll notice how against us EVERY team relies on crosses as it's our weakness, and it's not impossible to prepare for them.

How about defensive organisation and training of the team? Maybe get a coach that will help, instead of more ex-forwards? Jesus wept, 19 times this season we've lost points from being 1 or 2:0 up, is it about time HE GOT A SODDING HINT that it's not working?

Good post mate. You are 100% spot on.

I'm an honest fence sitter when it comes to Everton but Martinez in or out I can see exactly what you can, and it's a bit bloody odd, the whole thing.

When we hired Martinez the biggest worry for me was the form Wigan showed in the league when they got relegated. I read somewhere that 19 goals they had conceded were down to individual errors. 19 goals..!! That's pretty serious and it's similar to what we are seeing here.

@davek @mkrudden @ilikecheese TO THE TURRETS!!!

Not even gonna waste energy on here today.

Our inability to defend balls in the air is why we lost this game...simple as.

Has always been the primary problem.

 

[BluePingu]

How did we ship 3 goals in 15 mins?

Because

1. We cannot defend
2. We cannot defend
3. We cannot defend

and

4. Everton

 

[The Equaliser]

Your job is on the line now Roberto. Even i am turning against you after this. Dreadful substitutions combined with Mirallas's indiscretion cost us three points.

You know you're a busted flush Bobby when the Frogman turns.

 

[SCBlue]

Can't even be angry anymore. After their first I fully expected the second. The third removed what heart I had left. Sad days.

 

[Everton_Gary]

When we missed the penalty I knew

2-0 up in the 78th minute? Nah we will bottle it

This. I felt instantly sick the minute it got saved knowing west ham still had a chance based on the results of this season.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Still can't quite believe it, did that really just happen, it was a brilliant performance with 10 men upto the last 15mins.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Amateur hour from Martinez. Pathetic. Unless we win the cup I'd Defo get rid. good potential in that squad being undone by idiotic management. Massively underperforming.

 

[flowboy]

Accept it was partly due to 10 men but it was unconvincing scrappy scrappness, even Lennon's goal. Awful pen. Then mystifying subs. Hammers always had me on edge and kept working positions to get back into it.

 

[Petit]

Hope we don't regret those two misses

You said it.

 

[eurosrees]

We have Lukaku one goal off the golden boot yet we are in three bottom half, if it wasn't for him I dread to think where we'd be. He surely can't be managing us next season, it's seriously beyond a joke how bad we are at defending leads, get someone in who knows how to do it, keep hold of Rom, and I'm sure we'll win a few home games for a change, what an absolute joke.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

Martinez has to go, to be 2-0 up and let that slip 3 times shows something is fundamentally wrong with the team and the way we play. This clown will restrict our most talented team in years to mid table mediocrity, if he's in charge when our best players leave we will spiral
