Martinez improved his all round hold up game massively last season compared to the season before.
But that was against the pitiful defences in the premier league. Not all defences are as good and as wise as chiellini and bonnuci though.
 

His goalscoring ability isnt in question, its the rest of his play. He doesnt anticipate things and his reactions are slow. He also cannot hold the ball up which is vital at this level.
 
Rom is a raw talent, when it comes off for him eg vs Chelsea in the cup, he looks magnificent.
He is still far though from being the polished finished article aka Thierry Henry.

It doesn't appear from what we're seeing so far tonight that the Belgian manager works with him. He's there on the back of four in four, not necessarily because he's totally proven.

And how many times have we said test he doesn't seem to favour of enjoy being go lone striker unless he's got a Ross feeding balls for him to run onto?

How many through balks have Hazard and co even tried to thread through the Italian defence for him to run onto and at them with?

Like Ross, Rom is still a work in progress and one who has let himself get ahead of himself in terms of thinking he's better than Everton at this stage in his career.

I count that he has scored goals for us against Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool, City, Arsenal.

He does well against Liverpool but their defense is pretty dodgy. In 30 league games against Arsenal, City, United, Chelsea and Spurs he's scored three goals.

Not sure how many times we've played them in all comps but adding his 3 cup goals against those teams this season would be 6 goals in 30+ games.

It's much worse than his 1 in 2 average that he has in general.
