Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

23 Sep 2014 23:35:16
I have made a mature decision. Its is a decision that will stop me from being heart broken and depressed. I have decided that I shall not watch the derby this time round. If recent performancea are anything to go by, i'm so sure that this trend will not be fixed within a span of half a week. Roberto has made a huge mistake and he knows it. He's gone and used all our money on Lukaku, when in pre season, it was our defence that was getting hammered.

Granted Rom is a talented player, but what the hell are our CB's playing at? I feel sorry for the likes of Eto'o, Mirallas, Naismith SEAMUS and Baines. These lads are a different class and our defence are doing jack a nory to consolidate our leads. We may be the 2nd highest goal scoring team in the league, but blimey we're also the highest goals conceded team in the league, when last year only Chelsea And City had a better defence than us.

Distin it passed it, Jags seems to be peeved he's no longer a starter for England and has now switched off. Gaz Baz. well okay, he's been decent (but amongst the other defensive players my nan would look decent). McCarthy has got no vision, and Besic. oh my days, Besic had a half decent game against Argentina, amd now thinks he's a world beater. Fair enough, have some swagger, but mate grow up. Useless back heels aren't needed, and the same is said about his fouling malarkey. Kid needs to cool down.

Im just frustrated. Champions League? More like Championship. you're having a laugh.

. anyone else think in Bobby we may have the next Alah Pardew.??!?? Really good first season in charge. then signs a big new long term contract in the summer as a reward. & then guess what?!? Downward spiral. mid table at best this season I'm afraid folks at best bar a miracle! We could be bottom of the league after our next 4 games which are going to be really tough.the problem we now have is that every time the opposition attacks they score & shipping 2 or 3 goals a game means we are highly unlikely to pick up any points at all!!

Is it me or is Martinez way to bloody positive all the time! I bet he never has a go at the team for playing awful, most managers would come out after our run and say how disappointed they are, but Martinez just keeps saying everything is amazing and we are playing great when we are not! He needs to give the boys a rollicking! Then maybe they will realise how rubbish they've been.

I like RM, BUT, he must start, and start very quickly, to understand, he is in the results business, all the nice football in the world will not keep him in the job, if he loses sight of that one central fact!

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "The scoreline reflects the team that took the chances. During long spells we stopped Swansea from playing. It was an important game for us - for players who haven't played many minutes and to see where they are.
"If you analyse the chances Swansea had, they were few and far between. We had two or three very good situations. In many aspects, I was fairly pleased with that."

I'm sure most fans were not pleased with any aspects of that performance

Believable0 Unbelievable0

What game was Matinez watching??

Agree0 Disagree0

RM's remarks sound like a man full of excuses. He's no doubt hurting, but he's in danger of sounding like a broken record and losing the goodwill that he's built up with the vast majority of our fans. The fact is that no matter what RM says, Swansea put three goals past us and we scored none in return. I'm a big supporter of RM, but all the possession and passing that he is so insistent upon counts for nothing if we concede so easily and we can't create & convert good goalscoring chances ourselves.

We got some information? Well we know hibbert, distin, osman, mcgeady, atsu, besic, alcaraz and howard are unbelievabley dreadful, only positive was bryan is back, literally nothing else, robertos positivety is becoming most, taxing

Agree0 Disagree0

If that's what he said then he is an idiot. We play exactly like wigan now. as far as I am concerned he has 1 month to sort it or bobby can pack his bags. He has to carry the can for this it was his hideous pre season its him who doesn practice defending or attacking set pieces or any general defensive work. Fed up now

Agree0 Disagree0

@prekiscored - I couldn't agree more. Everything I feared when we hired him is coming true but 1 year later than anticipated. BK was way too loyal to Moyes who could/should have gone much earlier. If he shows the same loyalty this time we could be in an impossible fight against relegation

Agree0 Disagree0

(#4th or bobby must walk)


my biggest fear is that promise to players will be broken and they will leave at the end of the season

Mirallas, Baines, Coleman and Mccarthy deserve CL football and I can't see us playing in the CL anytime in the next few years.

How many times this season have we played really well for a twenty minute period during a match, but failed to capitalise on that - and then the opposition have woken up, forced us back, and ruthlessly exploited our individual defensive errors and our team's lack of organisation, energy and belief. Even the great result against Wolfsburg was in a match where we allowed them to pepper our goal and Howard had to be at his best. We're pretty much performing as though most of our squad are still playing in "pre-season" mode in my humble opinion. Come on RM - prove that you're the bright one, the right one!

How many times have we played really well this season is a mystery by itself

That is the worst performance i've witnessed from us in years! it reminded me of the bad old days of pre-moyes. We look lost, directionless, one dimentional, we have no energy and we are making the most shockingly fundamental errors!

Howard looks bereft of confidence, but he also looks as if he has no confidence in his back 4. Hibbert was destroyed by Montoya tonight and will be dizzy for days, but he had no support from Atsu. Distin just doesn't look like the same player from last season! Midfield strolled around tonight as if we were winning, even at 1-0 down we had no interest in getting the ball into the box, once again we had a free in an advance position but went backward with it! Besic wanted all the time in the wold and had no sense of what was happening around him! and Rom's first touch seems to be getting worse, but he was so isolated, 25-30 yards at times between him and the midfield!!

Now i'm a massive Martinez fan, but something needs to change, you can't keep saying I don't understand why its happening, that its not like us! and once again his substitutions tonight we mind boggling!

Frustrated, annoyed but still a proud blue

Why we played McGeady, Atsu and Oviedo (whilst Garbut was on) was beyond me when we had Osman there who could have linked the play up in the attack much better. Besic needs to stop thinking he is messi by his own box. Every time McGeady got the ball it was like having dejavu. Could go on and on but just can't be bothered. I liked Garbut though.

Okay the relegation thing was over the top, probably, osman, distin, jagielka all been poor, the worst? martinez, he's made some awful decisions this season and its cost us

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Martinez has my support until Xmas and that's it. I just hope it's not too late by then. I keep hoping this is a blip but it's not. Defensively we're disgustingly poor, we clearly don't practice set pieces for or against and going forward stops before it reaches an area to be dangerous. We spent all our money on a player with no energy and no first touch so even the Jan window leaves little hope for improvements.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Sep 2014 21:41:08
This has been an absolute disgrace.In 55 years of watching this was one of the worst (and I've seen a few). Champions League? We'll be lucky to avoid the Championship. What the hell is Martines playing at. 2-0 down and he brings on McCarthy and Osman. Moyes got slaughtered (Rightly) for his favourites Martines is going down the same route. The problems were there in pre-season but we thought it would be alright when the season began. Other than Garbutt and to an extent Besic the rest of them tonight should be had up for impersonating a footballer. Lukaku £28 million? Maybe Moreno had something there. We could well be bottom of the table in two weeks time, if we are I can see it being a hell of a struggle to get off it. Sorry but Martines must now be on borrowed time. I am not looking forward to Saturday. Final note; Thanks Tony Hibbert for your time at Everton you've a top servant to the club and a true blue, but it is now time to call it a day.

3 now, need 3 centre halfs, a goalkeeper and cleverley, players and manager should be ashamed, our fans have gone in droves and they were let down, again, honestly embarrassing

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree hibbert mc geady its a joke now

Agree0 Disagree0

Too many changes for me personally. that's what's cost us. I agree rotate certain players ie injuries experience and what not. I know el bobs got his eye on the derby but even this cup is some silver at the end of the day mickey mouse cup or not. It still gets europa again. Just hope sat goes well but at Analfield? Well.

Your name any clue?! Maybe you should go n support them, could do without doom n gloom merchants at the club when we've just been knocked out of the Mickey Mouse Cup ffs!! with a second string team V Swansea's 1st team.

Yes cept, tremmel, richards, carroll, montero and emnes are hardly first choice, we wernt arsed, again, no fight

Think it may be more to do with the fact that we have conceded 16 goals in 6 games

23 Sep 2014 21:28:52
So here is a hypothetical situation, next 3 prem games Liverpool away, united away and villa at home.
Say we lose to liverpool which as much as I hate to say it is likely especially with our defence, then we go to united away and lose which with their attack is also a strong possibility, then villa at home and they always seem to love a trip here, been lucky to beat them last season thanks to a piece of magic from kev and just came back to draw season before we will be near bottom of the league sorry for the pessimism but there is a chance, anyone who is watching this game should, like me be embarrassed, we look worse than awful, quite promising from Oviedo but I'm not going to name other poor performers as it would take too long. Slow, lathargic, lack of chances, intensity, I at no point felt excited, I am a very very embarrassed blue hope to god something happened to sort this out or we are not going to have an enjoyable season at all

Roberto got lucky last season.he inherited a very good solid team from Moyes & was able to work it to his advantage. since then, he got his big contract & has now installed his Wigan methods & style of play into our squad & has single-handedly turned us into a relegation Wigan fc look team. you cannot keep shipping 2+ goals per match as it will turn you into a relegation team as it did at Wigan. This was always my worst nightmare when we recruited him, last season was a pleasant surprise. but I'll give him until Christmas, & if things don't improve it's time to call for his head I'm afraid! Distin at fault again tonight for at least 1 of the goals, as I said before it's 1 season too far for him & if Bobby can't even see that, then he needs to go to specs-savers! Not good at all, embarrassing actually & genuinely worried about the derby this weekend!

Its just not good enough, i'm going 8-0 for liverpool on sat, if we are lucky

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Sep 2014 20:36:33
Awful first half, you can have all the tippy tapy passes you want, but poor decisions, lack of awareness and lack of energy has us behind!! Besic looks out if his dept, Hibbert will be dizzy for days after that first half, once again he's getting no cover ftom Atsu! Midfield strolling around like we're winning, Eto'o coming so deep that nobody up the park! Garbut though looks quality!

Oh and Howard could've done better with the goal!

Hope it improves

Ed 003, no answer for me then?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - he did not understand the question howie...post it again and i will sort it mate..

Eddy asked if anyone wanted spare tickets(2) for Wolfsburg away at 4.30pm. No one answered but I have and have asked him if they are still available for my son and his mate (on here), but there is no answer. I want to know if there is any other way, like a direct message service I can use to Eddy to find out if they are still available, or is here the only way to find out?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - you need to contact him on social media howie as putting up a phone number or address is dodgy, MSN is not a bad idea, other than that i cant really help mate, lets just hope he reads this and lets us know if they are still available..

Just seems stupid asking and then vanishing!!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i know mate, but he may be busy or working..

23 Sep 2014 21:26:12
Hi sorry for the late reply my phone died on the way home from work yes they are still here.

There's a good bit in the paper today about how both Villa and Leicester caused Liverpool big problems by sticking a man marker on Gerrard - who can no longer handle it and who then made loads of mistakes - I hope this was noticed by someone at EFC and we do likewise - otherwise that little git might 'do' us again - he seems to get up for the everton game more than any other - let's mark him out of the game and then they've got nothing

23 Sep 2014 19:48:58
It's like this: we need to claw back points to keep in touch with the arse. Keep in touch with citeh and spuds. We need to do this starting this weekend. If we lose our next two, the cups will take higher priority. Here's hoping we can do something historic this Saturday.c'mon you blues.
