Fuck off Martinez. Fuck off now.

Mid table mediocrity awaits.

Knight of Thorgothshire Sat 19 Dec 2015, 4:57 pm

We need to change up the midfield. We need someone creative to help Barkley out, he's too isolated. I'd like to see Naismith getting a run of games and put Cleverly on the bench.

I honestly don't think it will make any difference who plays. We've been playing our strongest XI for the past half dozen games and we don't win. We're not fit enough, we're not organised enough, and we don't practice set pieces. Until we get those three things sorted out, we're mid table.

And the only way that gets sorted out is Roberto Martinez leaving.

You might very well be correct that it doesn't matter who we play, but we only threaten down the flanks (primarily the flank where Foofoo is playing), but there is not much coming down the center making us rather one dimensional.

Not many passes pn the floor towards Lukaku facing the goalie going ono are there? The few times Lukaku has gotten a through ball from the centre of the pitch it's been from Foofoo. With Naismith in there I am hoping for a more creative midfield.

And the lack of training set pieces is simply infuriating. We had 10 corners (or maybe it was 11 in the end) and didn't threaten on a single one.

The corners are a joke. The commentators still go "Corner to Everton, and that's a big threat with Baines on the pitch" - which is a fucking joke cos every Evertonian knows what's going to happen.

It's actually a disgrace. This is as talented a group as Moyes ever had and yet we're mid-table. I actually don't understand how anyone can make a case for Martinez. Is it just me that thinks we look incapable of playing a full 90 mins without huffing and puffing for at least 15 mins of that? And we've probably missed out on a minimum of half a dozen points by not practising (attacking or defending) set pieces.

I dunno, I love the style of football we're playing, but the results are dreadful.

Too true. With a bit more creativity coming from the middle of the pitch, I think we would be ace.

And we do need another manager. If Chelsea can fire Mourinho, surely we can fire Bobby Noboby?

Made 4 Gwladys Sun 20 Dec 2015, 5:11 pm

Well... what a great day.. but fuck what a shit result... I thought both pens were dodgy.. the first one was soft & could easily have just been waved away... the second I thought Vardy only went over when he realised he'd knocked the ball too far... I thought their 3rd was handball...

that's my blue tinted galls view from the posh seats anyway... and I'm sticking to it.. We were only a few rows behind Amanda Holden's arse so there was always something good to focus on when Leicester had the ball.

Good to see Bill there... he didn't look well but he was there... Woy was pwobably watching Vardy, not Barks, Stones, Cleverley or Baines...

Great to meet Uwie, who can seriously fucking put the vino away !!.... drunken

Back to the cheap seats in the Gwladys for me I think ... I need to help suck the ball into the net..

Oh yes... I met 2 of my favourites ... Sharpy just before the 2nd half kicked off.. shook his hand & reminded him last time I met him we had a pint together in Jersey in the 80's... I think he said .. "ohhhh.. bloody hell" ... and had a good few chats with & warmly shook hands with the legend that is Martin Dobson... Uwie, please remember to send me the pic with him... I really will get that framed... what a thoroughly nice genuine guy... I still can't believe he took so much time to talk with me.... Everton v Leicester City - Page 8 Bowdown

Anyway... shit result... great experience... great day... you're a star Uwie...

Even though the result was not what we wanted, it's great to hear you two had a chance to meet up and by all sounds of it, sounds like it was indeed a great outing. cheers

SouthernSmugToffee Sun 20 Dec 2015, 9:35 pm

At least the results today went our way, with the Shite losing 3-0 and West Ham drawing 0-0.
Still 10th and only 6pts off top 4, so not a totally disastrous weekend.
