poor old fart... i mean if he'd not got his nose in everyone's business and liked the sound of his own voice so much he might still have a reputation.

Everton have clearly tried to tighten up at the back which has resulted in fewer goals. Problem is that focussing on defending hasn't helped as they're still leaking in goals.

We'd kept 3 consecutive clean sheets until he brought this clown back;Everton have clearly tried to tighten up at the back which has resulted in fewer goals. Problem is that focussing on defending hasn't helped as they're still leaking in goals.
Most of it, He inspires zero confidence in the defence these days, flaps at everything and jumps at thin air.You think its all down to him?

Martinez should never have dropped Robles to make way for his return. Robles was starting to look less like Lurch and more like a half decent keeper after a run of games..........so he drops him for an out of form Howard![]()
I think it's the same with us and Ming. He had no confidence which means our defence had none.
You've kept more or less the same back though haven't you? Surely things can only improve.

After a bright start he's been a massive disappointment, given his previous proven quality.Van Gaal admitted Di Maria is **** and he doesn't know if he'll ever settle at the club
"It is dependable, you have to manage so many aspects. Not just the game, but the culture," says the Dutchman.
You'd like to think so, but we've only won 6 out of league games this season ffs
After winning 21 in 38 last.....
Something has gone seriously wrong and we're running out of games. Make no mistake Martinez is under severe pressure at the minute.
He needs a result at Stoke tomorrow, or there'll be the first real rumblings of discontent from Blues about his tenure.
You shouldn't look for Stoke to be where you will turn a corner
You won't be relegated this season, and you won't qualify for Europe, so there's no hurry
Stoke are 4th in the form table and their 6 game home form is losses to Man City and Chelsea, draw with Man Utd, win the rest
You have 1 win away out of the last 6, a dodgy win over Palace when you injured their striker
A draw against Stoke would be great but a loss by a single goal wouldn't mean much
QPR, Burnley, Villa should give you enough points to be comfortably above relegation

If Hull win tonight they go above us and Bruce described them as being in a 'desperate relegation dogfight' last week.
Meanwhile Martinez thinks we were great at Arsenal
We should stay up, but until the points are actually on the board there's no guarantee. He needs to grind out some results, starting tomorrow.
