Stoke v Everton. 4th March at 19.45.

No shape. This clueless manager actually has a coaching badge. Bet he will take off Lennon and put Barry on the wing next. A UNIQUE decision.

It's only really dawned on me that we may actually be in danger of relegation here. I really didn't want Martinez it at first but I've supported him ever since he got here, but if we don't manage to get points here, I can't see us getting points from any games coming up. SERIOUSLY worrying times.

That's the biggest problem, it feels like the players don't believe they're in a relegation battle either when they absolutely are, we're completely terrible and look like we have zero ideas outside of passing a ball around our defense and then losing it. If they don't snap out of it we'll sleep walk our way out of the league. Teams around us actually realise they're in trouble and are fighting for every point, we're set up to play the exact same way we've been playing all season that hasn't worked for us - we're worrying creating nothing and our defense isn't good enough not to concede goals, all signs of a team that could easily go down, we've got to hope there are 3 worse teams at this point.

[DanEFC92]

Sigh.

 

[Mrk]

Slow.
Predictable.
Negative.
Gutless.
Unbalanced.
Embarrassing.

Phenomenal.

I can't believe some still want Martinez to stay

Same manager and team that got us our best PL points haul and back into Europe after a few years away. How can it have gone so wrong so fast? It surely can't all be Martinez' fault, but even I'm beginning to waver.

 

[Furey1878]

We'll never score with Naismith playing no. 10. He creates nothing

He's not playing as a #10, mate.

Granted he leaves a lot to be desired down the left too, like.

 

[hktoffee]

How do we get out of this mess when we repeat the same mistakes every week

Every week same tactics and crap selection. Naismith automatic starter, playing on the wing. This is doing my head in.

 

[daz4matty]

The mess we are in you would think we would go for it and nail them.

 

[Blue Sky]

GET FEKIN OSMAN ON

Good shout

 

[Jags..class]

Confidence is rock bottom and Martinez is struggling to find a win, the team is a mess.

 

[The Equaliser]

Started alright and went steadily downhill from there. We still can't defend to save our lives.

It's OK though, we're safe as houses.

And so is Booby's job, apparently.
