I know.

But although we have lost games, other than one, we havnt been beaten.

Semantics perhaps, but that is how I see things. Bloody frustrating, weekends ruined, but I can see what he is trying to do. And if he can get that last 10% right, (ironically the easiest bit), good times.

And if he doesnt, he will be toast.

Buttered or with cheese?

Anyone think we will get dragged into the bottom 6

Yeah easily, bottom 3 no chance as we have goals in the side, but bottom 6 yes we can but i think we will finish around where we are now, which is about right for us, Under Martinez anything like that is possible.

Fair play. I feel outwitted, go and talk to dave. He'll agree with you. Don't go to McDonalds though.

Mate, it's not about point scoring or outwitting people. I'm as annoyed as the next Everton believe me. I've seen the way this league is going this season happening for a few years. But the moment you try and have a discussion, which is what it is, I keep hear the same stuff and in particular, 'what he did at Wigan' and 'can't set up a team defensively look what he did at Wigan'. Sorry, but that is just irrelevant in all honesty. I wont use Wigan as a stick to beat Martinez with. I'll use other things he does which I think are not quite correct. Like I pointed out we have only conceded 9 away from home and it is not to be sniffed at. And maybe shows that he can set the team up defensively.

I'm looking forward to the game tomorrow.

I cannot see how he can turn this around all of a sudden. For the last 18 months, Everton is struggling to win games even at home. Yes the attacking play is smoother but the defence is getting worse so it cancels each other out.

That's a pretty weird post.

Is the bottom line the answer to the question above?

Missed it off. Damn new technology. Old dog new tricks and all that.

Which is exactly what he did last Christmas/Feb (@davek ).

Which to be fair, doesnt help his cause when the same failings are still there. Whether it is all on his shoulders is a moot point, but if I laud him for his attacking play, I must lay that at his door as well.

But he will sort it.
