Samuel Eto'o

[TX Bill]

Not overly upset about him kicking the ball out.

But like Doug said, would rather him up front than in the middle of the park.

I don't like the role/position he is being asked to play. Stick him up front or leave him on the bench. To be honest, when he signed for us, I wasn't expecting him to be starting many matches.

Martinez wants him to be a playmaker. And he got it all wrong. It never and will not work.

Easily mate. He genuinely could of scored. The ref was happy to play on, but nah. He sticks it out of play. Two mins later Cisse elbows Coleman, and two mins after that, they equalise. That moment was genuinely a game changer.

I totally agree mate and it's something I've seen Baines do too many times. If you ain't dying on the pitch then play on. It seems a silly thing to pull up but like you said, when your deep in trouble you need to be ruthless and it was anything but ruthless, soft and something I would expect from a 17 year old kid making his debut

Tiote literally took a pass from his own player in his cock and balls. That was why he was down. Embarrassing.

Baines at the Emirates last season in the cup when Arteta fell over and screamed like a baby. For 10 seconds. And then he was fine when he saw the ball out of play.

I know mate. It happens too many times. Just really sick of it and when we are winning 3-0 it's o.k but when the pressure is on and we need a win it took the sting out of us and 2 minutes later it's 1-1. I would rather Coleman got up and right hooked Cisse as well, all he got was a little chat from Coleman. I want all the lads surrounding him so next chance he gets a chance he bottles it. He was buzzing off us when he scored thinking "I can do what I want here against these soft arses"

I think Baines has done it 3 or 4 times mate. There's fair play and then there's just being thick for kicking it out. If it's me I look whose down and see its Arteta and I know "oh its Arteta, he goes down like a sack of Spuds so no worries ". No hassling anyone because we are too nice

Absolutely, it is the ref's responsibility to make those decisions, not our players.

100% yet our players think they are Florence Nightingale on a weekly basis and it's a must to help the opposition as much as possible.

So we sign one of the greatest strikers in history and we never ever play him upfront? What the hell are we playing at?

 

[Joey66]

Eto today was diabolical all round missed a good chance to make it 2-2 - his Hollywood passes waste possesion when the is an easy out let on the wing - never a midfielder, as long as I have a hole in my backside!
If he plays the next game in that role which is Ross Barkley's place then we are doomed!

Unfortunately, Martinez told him to do so. And what a stupid thing to do when he had a opportunity to score, he put the ball out of the play.

#MartinezLogic

You could literally make a successful twitter account with that, I'll start it off:

Playing England best young central midfielder out wide - #MartinezLogic

Playing Samuel Eto'o out wide- #MartinezLogic

Playing Steven Naismith as a CAM- #MartinezLogic

Not making a substitute against Southampton- #MartinezLogic

Having no width in the side yet two wingers sat on the bench- #MartinezLogic

 

[Joey66]

Unfortunately, Marinez told him to do so. And what a stupid thing to do when he had a opportunity to score, he put the ball out of the play.

Again a bad ref - he missed the elbow on Coleman and the two footed scissor kick on Baines - when we give goals away like we did today we get nothing!

Sorry but I'm not having this.

Evertonians wanting to ignore the referee performances that have factually hurt our chances this past month but Eto'o plays the ball out instead and that's been our issue today?

Hahahahaaha.......
