If ever there were a time for Everton to play long balls it was at 3-2 on Saturday.
A long ball team would've 'got shut' to relieve some pressure. Did Everton? No, we scored one of the footballing goals of the weekend.
Still moaning about what Everton were doing in October is ridiculous, it smacks of last resort digs. Scrambling around trying to find anyway possible to discredit Everton and the most laughable thing is we're winning and winning well, just the 13 (Thirteen) goals in our last 3 home games.
It's like Hitler's bunker in here. A mad man and his minions trying to convince themselves they can still win the War whilst Koeman, his mighty blues and the vast majority of Evertonians are circling your underground home. Step outside, smell the fresh air, embrace, let's maybe have a little cuddle or FFS pop the Cyanide pill, for the love of GOT.
Give it up. It's over.

I like the positive vibes at the moment, last time we had vibes like this was in Roberto's first season. For that reason alone, I will judge us more seriously next season, to see if we have got rid of that pedestrian mentality we have had for years and being the plucky underdog.
All the signs point that we are moving away from that and the club is looking way more professional on and off the pitch thanks to the new personnel in both areas.
If what people have been suggesting comes to fruition, the original team from our city will be fully established again and cemented for many years to come at the top end of the game.
Exciting times!

I think he's great me.

...Koeman jibbed, Paul Clement named Premiership manager of the month. Mind you, Swansea's win at the Reds was worthy.

As said mate, these stats are all malleable depending on what site you use and the exact metric being taken from them (long ball/pass etc). HOWEVER, even by your own chosen criteria your point is destroyed when you consider that this season we have the third highest rate of long ball use - and God knows what it must have been say a month or two ago before we began to get it down and play a bit.
Martinez's teams seem to fluctuate between a mid point to upper levels....which pretty much underlines what BS stats can come up with, because our own generally accepted knowledge of that era was that we played a lot of short balls and didn't get back to front as quickly as we should a lot of the time.

He's done well. I thought it was a strange appointment given his time at QPR. Well done to the feller. Three wins with that lot = fully deserved.

Good. The Manager of the Month curse is a real thing.

He has never managed QPR. Think you mean Derby.

Ha ha. Brain fart. Anyway, he failed at a Championship club and was then given a PL club to manage. I thought he was extremely lucky, tbh. Even if it was a struggling Swansea.

Every single page on here is the same arguments over and over lol. It's obvious that Koeman plays more long balls than Martinez. It's also obvious that Koeman knows how to sort a defence out as well.
Personally don't care if we resort to a long ball when needed because we've scored some brilliant goals this season. I want to be entertained but I also want to see us win. We are improving and so is the football. I'd take this season and it's style over the last two years of utter garbage every singe time. It's nice to look forward to going to Goodison again and being excited about the weekend!
