Everton vs Man City - 10th Jan, 2015.

[Jxg]

He should, but he shouldn't have had too, hence him not being "solely" to blame...

Nah, he's going to get those passes and either he learns how to cope or we get someone who can. It's how Martinez wants to play.

 

[lungo]

Not as bad as Barkley in that half

He is in the middle. Naismith covering for him on the left because he can be bothered to defend

 

[Seanjj]

We are playing a more defensive type football and hitting them on the break very Moyes like which is good..bring Mirallas on to bring more pressure on their goal for a change!

 

[Titus Bramble]

If we lose and I hear anybody say "been improvements last two games" I am gonna go off my head.

Scraping a draw against West Ham at home, and getting beat by City.

We need a win desperately here. Win or bust it ought to be for Martinez. Most Premier League chairman would've probably made that clear to the manager ahead of this one.

Most chairman also probably don't understand that no manager in their right mind is going to go all out for the win against Man City as they will pick us off at will. An ultimatum of 'if you don't beat Man City you're sacked' is pretty damn stupid.

i would like to see us pull ross further back, get mirallas on for naismith and play with the two attacking wingers up in support of lukaku with 3 in centre mid - he's a bit too isolated, not the thing when you want when going direct.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

There for the taking this city team, and for all their possession we're unlucky not be winning.

Improvements = a gang of professional footballers putting in a bit of effort.

Something they should be doing every week

I really don't know what you expect. We've been in a slump. West Ham wasn't great but we managed to turn an awful result into an ok one. We are playing pretty well now against the champions. Completely ridiculous to insinuate the managers job is the line because we may lose against them.

 

[Tel001]

Finally a bit of passion to get the crowd going

 

[lungo]

I heard (belgian Tv) Baines punched somebody (Mirallas?) in the dressing room!

 

[mightymoyes]

Hope the ball boy comes on for mcgeady second half, anything would be an improvement

but that is an improvement from four meagre defeats in a row where nobody showed any desire, fight or quality.

 

[DaltonEFC]

Finally, some real signs of improvement. We were better against W.Ham and we're better today. We're playing the ball forwards and thank christ for John Stones and Muhamed Besic.

 

[ianefc]

City in playing better than opposition shocker

You trying to impress some today, wasn't it an hour ago you posted

Crap team

Crap manager

and something else I can't remember
