Remember last season when everyone was saying how much of an improvement Martinez was. Not hearing that so much these days. He really is the perfect example of style over substance: personally he is a very nice, well-spoken, media-friendly bloke; professionally he is regarded as playing football 'the right way' (whatever that means).
Yet where it actually matters - getting results - he's showed at Wigan and now at Everton Athletic that he takes teams backwards.
The way we are now has relegation written all over it.
I cant see where the next points are coming from.
What worries me is how we're going to get another 20 points.
We'll be in the bottom 3 in a months time.

RM: "I thought the only positive was the way we started - we were trying to find momentum but conceding a simple goal affected us too much."
RM: "We had chances today but there is a lack of confidence. It is a tough period but we still want to find real success this season."
RM: "Kevin [Mirallas] was feeling a little bit sore at half-time and we needed everyone to be 100% in order to be dynamic."

When Wigan were relegated in 2012-2013 they had only won 5 games by January 1st, how many games have we won?

Before todays game
Everton have made only (316) tackles, Only Burnley have made less tackles
Kept 3 Clean Sheets, Joint bottom with Leicester on 3
Conceded 31 Goals, Only QPR have conceded more
10 Errors Leading to Goals , nearest teams are on 6
Everton have been caught offside 49 times, more than any other team
Points Won from Losing Positions 2, nearest teams are on 3
Points Lost from Leading Positions 15, Only Swansea have lost more 16

Close the door on your way out Mr Martinice

I have highlighted what I believe has changed this season. We use to be tight and in the faces of the opposition and now I feel we are allowing too much time and space. What I have noticed more than anything is our defence allowing the forwards to claim possession when a ball is cleared. We are stand off now rather than at them. Its a recipe for disaster. How many times do you see Kone and Lukaku allowed time to control and turn with the ball? so why do we let the opposition time to do it. We need to kill space and be in there faces not afford time and space. I certainly hope its not an instruction from RM
 

Every team below us is fighting for their lives, Leicester came from 2 down, Burnley came from 2 down, we are sleep walking into a relegation fight we aren't cut out for because they think they are too good to go down. We'll if they are start playing like it, our bad run has hardly been against the top 4. Just can't see a sign of a positive light, we need someone like Donavon did in the past to come in and really inspire a turn around or wake the fools up.

They weren't even talking to each other out there today, you couldn't hear a word, they're lacking fight, bite and passion because that blert isn't capable of instilling some fire in their bellies, Mr Nice is leading us into a relegation fight
 

I never used to watch MOTD when we lost, but now I get some sort of sick pleasure out of it. I actually find it quite funny watching us get humiliated
 
This is the attitude I fear RM has.
pfftttttt ! There are at least 6 teams who are far far worse than us. Yes we're in a slump and things are a mess but please, I've seen all the best relegation battles involving us right back to G lee and don't think for one moment my 'attitude' is to blame mate!
 

Hull are cack and we are getting worse.
You would think after the manager and players being questioned in the week there would have been a reaction of sorts.
