Stoke v Everton. 4th March at 19.45.

[Bowjangles]

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It's disappointing as it has been a really tough two weeks. We showed that lack of cutting edge. Overall it was a pretty even game and I'm disappointed how we conceded the first goal as it is free header in the 18-yard box.

"I did feel that as a team we showed we had played a number of matches in a short period of time.

"The Europa League campaign is a bit obvious at the moment as it is a lot of games to play in a short period but as a club that is what we want, to play in Europe.

"The concern is a huge moment in the season, we have 10 games and we will treat them as finals. We are in this situation for many reasons but we are looking forward and up to get as high up in the table as we can.

"The desire and wanting for the result was there but the legs couldn't get there. We are ready to face the challenge straight on. We haven't got the results that our performances deserve.

"Everyone at the club, it's the moment to get together and make sure we finish the season strongly. We need bit of luck and momentum but it's not been that type of season."

"The players were phenomenal, they kept going, down every blind alley - tried every failing move that we practice very hard. We were without a little bit of luck and that is what we needed. But we used the ball well, created great spaces with momentum and the ideal we play to we lived upto very well"

That's not what he said at Christmas - maybe the second half of the season starts now

Moyes normally had a great second half of the season we don't even get that luxury now.

Everton Manager Roberto Martinez: "More now than ever we need the fans behind us. Of course we feel their pain but we also need their help. I don't feel we are solid, as one right now and the team will only suffer."

That's the worry lad.

 

[Fansince1988]

We will get at least 15 out of the 30 points available if we change the manager now.

Yes we more or less had the defence sorted,ever since it was swapped back we are conceding a lot.

The interview on five live : even he doesn't believe himself now

 

[Stutheblue]

When's Pienaar back we need him and Osman playing,we have no playmaker.

We needed someone to replace these types of player last summer. They were never going to last the whole season. Age and injuries caught up with them. As for our current plight - yes we need them both for these next 10 games!
