Hull v Everton

I was woken by excruciating cramp in my calf. Then the baby shat on our bed. Now this. Phenomenal.

Sounds like a great start to the new year mate.

I don't even have a hangover. I kind of wish I did though. At least I could forget about that shite and believe it never happened tomorrow.

Sorry Super, I don't see what is so funny about being 4 points from drop zone?

Because it helps me forget how bad we are playing at the minute. Can't be bother with the team anymore, we will be knocked out of the the FA Cup on Tuesday night and what next?

We'd never get relegated. Worse case is a bottom half finish.

are you serious?? .. .Fucking Hull are twatting us & we've only had one shot.. a free kick

we are nailed on to go if this continues

How many shit periods did we have under Moyes. Probably with worse squad etc.

Southampton went 5 on a row defeat etc

It's just a bad period of form. We have injuries, suspension etc.

I wouldn't start panicking. Trust me I am pretty pessimistic too.

Jamie I am as pissed off as you are. We don't look good and we seem to just shatter under pressure at the moment. However Plan B of Long ball isn't what we are about.

I'd rather give Martinez time. If we were shit last season then yes it would be time to say goodbye. We have the players to be top 6, our infrastructure however at the moment states otherwise. That's what needs changed, not Martinez IMHO.

Just got back from New Year trip to Kent.

Anyone care to sum up the match for me in half a dozen words?

MOTD was painful to watch. First goal, poor defending, especially from Baines, but the second goal… that was embarrassing.

Martinez clearly doesn't know how to set up our defence. Better teams than Hull are going to run riot against us. If Big Sam gets his tactics right, we will lose 3-0 and I honestly think that must be the end for Martinez.

I'm sick to the stomach that we have returned to the dark days of fighting relegation once again, more so because we don't look to have any fight in us this time,
gone are the days of dogs of war when we had players that wouldn't lye down like Graham Stuart and the likes, David Moyes left us with an already aging squad ,I'm starting to think he knew the writing was on the wall for Everton aging players and all, Martinez last season said he needed 7 players, we got McCarthy-Besic-Lukaku & Barry, Atsu on loan.

What we need is a keeper two centre halve's and a midfielder who can lead by example ,Its not fucking rocket science Roberto.

To be fair to Martinez too, we have seen the worst injury crisis amongst our centre halves I have ever witnessed

Only Stones is injured at the moment, and he was clearly rushed back too soon, which is down to decisions made at manager level.

Playing Barry in a back three was a fucking stupid decision and led directly to the second goal.

We've just sacked our medicine man. Mind you, he'd been with us for donkeys years and we didn't have all these ridiculous soft-tissue injuries before. So what's changed? Err, the manager.

Point taken Gravy, but, most Evertonians were crying out about the need for a central defender, Alcaraz was long term injury,John stones manned up before getting injured,Distin & Jags have both been off form all season hence the need for another defender .Martinez sees the problem now .

This split centre backs idea has its flaws, which often leads to either one of the 2 holding midfielders ending up a centre back. Against Hull it was embarrassingly obvious for the 2nd goal when Barry just gave up on the idea of defending, knew he didn't have the pace and just threw the towel in. How often do we see Dizzie pushed back to his own corner flag. Hew spends more time there than he does at CB. You just don't see the likes of Terry or Kompany etc, finding themselves in that kind of spot.
