Roberto Martinez discussion

[sageyefc]

You can only beat what is put out in front of you....and we did very easily

Exactly we've struggled against park the bus types the last few years, now we're putting them to the sword

Another thing the plotters can cross of their list when looking to critique

@LAToffee was quoting Fat Stan's opening post and lids are responding like it's his own x

As quickly they cross something off they find something else to moan about

I will give credit to the people who still have misgivings and still post even when we have knocked in 11 goals in 3 games. The ones who hide under their transformer quilts when we win are the ones I despair about, they appear and shout loud how poor a manager he is when we lose but will give no credit when we win.

MODS !! may I suggest a few days in the cooler for LA toff ??

Lovely prose - and if only you would give lessons to the RS over at RAWK you could both make a fortune and help the rest of us understand WTF they are on about.

...you presume too much reach to my grasp...

He's class, we are class.

A couple of swallows do not a summer make. Everton has great potential. I believe we have the squad to realise something much more than is dreamt in mine or GOT's philosophy... Horatio be damned!!

Just watched the highlights, great football yesterday. Deulofeu is really making the difference. Having him and Kone able to create from the flanks is returning the team to its 13/14 level. You can see the difference with two players who can create in the side rather than Naismith/Etoo flanks last season. Need to keep this run going because anything we want is open in the league this year.

Learning the art of consecutive wins in the League would be a start

No reason why we can't. Bournemouth next, we have the quality to win, only the players' mentality could stop us getting three points.

Demolishing 2 sides who've set out to park the bus against us shows signs of improvement from last season.

If we follow it up with a controlled away win and nullify a team who'll look to counter us in our next home game then I'll start getting optimistic.

Feeling positive about Everton at the moment. Nice one.

The performances that Aston Villa and Sunderland put in allowed that to happen.
I don't think I've ever seen a worse team come to Goodison than Aston Villa.

Might it occur to you that that Del, Ross, Rom and company made them look that bad?

Are we such a Sad Sack bunch of fans that rather than believe we have a nascent Rolls Royce of a ream developing we would rather point to the deficiencies of the Lada in opposition colours?

I don't think Sunderland really had that intention to be honest - they played with a high line and came at us, which is playing right into our hands.

Villa certainly did, though, and I think the result was pretty much the perfect showcase of a Martinez team working well: dominate the ball, be patient, open up the opposition, score a couple, then sit back a little and hit on the counter once you've forced them to attack.
