Tbh I think Martinez needs to bring in a new defensive coach, as we've looked ropey at the back in all 3 games to press.

Have a feeling you guys are going to spank West Brom, not sure why.
You have played great up front, you'd have more points were it not for some suicide defending.
Just have an inkling West Brom will feel the brunt. Going for West Brom 1-4 Everton.
May even stick a score on it.

Barring suicidal defending we'd have 6 points at least in the bag.
We need a win, we haven't had a problem finding the net to press so you'd fancy us to score, but you'd also fancy us to concede.
Both teams to score is the bet here I reckon mate.
I hope you're right mind
Good win today happy with that
....and a clean sheet.
Stones was fantastic, great to see Lukaku get on the scoresheet with a beauty as well.
Takes the pressure of the lads a bit now and we'll start to see a return to last seasons form imo.
I hope so starting with a Wolfsburg win!
And.....Finally on the title contenders board they are admitting that slippy me's legs have gone lol

That's the perils of the Europa League I'm afraid If we had put our strongest team out the way Palace set up early doors we'd have stuffed them IMO but there you go...
Howard makes 2 howlers In a game when he's been solid for so long that's Just frustrating...
Long season ahead

Swansea in the Mickey Mouse tonight, can't say I'm arsed at all about this one.
I can see him fielding a complete 2nd string XI and we'll see what happens.
I fully expect a defeat, as they've been going quite well. Some of their fans are complete flutes though, so I expect a bell end invasion later on if we get rolled over.

Howard could have done better yet again Jesus playing great for over a year and now turned into Robles last game and now v Swansea!!
for what it's worth, when Roberto was our manager we couldn't defend an opinion let alone a set piece. It took a season of Paulo Sousa to shore up the defence.
A lot of supporters around me were really disappointed with Everton tonight, expected a stronger performance.
Swans fan.
Right on both counts it seems. I see our little 'hero's' been here. But I'm sure all Everton fans are top notch people.
Oh, and Bob's right by the way. Martinez's teams can't defend as long as he's got a hole in his ass. I'm sure you'll still have a decent season though. Good luck. 
Surprised at Martinez's comments after the game how many shots did Tremmel save as opposed to Howard who made two excellent saves last night .You took control of the game briefly after 10 minutes and to be honest we went ahead just as the game became more equal ,I think the difference was the two defences, ours kept their shape when under pressure was as yours looked panic stricken at times , Good game all the same and look forward to at least two more battles to come .

We didn't have a problem in that area last season, so maybe you're just bitter.
What was wrong with his comments, they seemed fair enough to me?
Nothing which I suppose should have be expected and probably on reflection correct .Regarding Dragons comment about Martinez's Achilles heel being the defence , no bitterness I can sure you just a fact .
How easy was that
You were playing our second string you plank....5 changes were made by Swansea and 7 changes were made by Everton
Congratulations on your 2nd string was better than our 2nd string last night In the cup
It's not a current 'fact' when we didn't have an issue in that area last season under his leadership and it's over 5 years since he walked out on you lot.
