Why are the full backs no longer running to the bye line? Because Martinez has come under suspicion of allowing Moyes' strong defence to rot on the vine. He has, therefore, coached them to stay back, to help avoid any defensive blunders. He is more worried about his own reputation than Everton's points tally. As long as he can maintain an impression of swashbuckling attacking play and good possession statistics, no doubt in preparation for his La Liga job interviews, we will be subject to this backside-covering. Negative tactics? You've never had it so bad.
