I noticed jagielka going ape at our players at a corner.he was attacking it and everyone else was stood on penalty spot.it's summit when your centre half is the only one attacking a corner and trying to score.

What gets me is the fact some say we have the best players and squad for years and it is down to tactics. I totally disagree! I suggest our squad is critically unbalanced. We have an abundance of non creative midfielders who are happy to go sideways and backwards. They will run all day and tackle and block. We have precious little creative midfielders. one is a kid who is carrying the team and gets slated by some for being inconsistent, one is an out and out old fashioned winger and the other crosses well but for every decent game he has, he also has a stinker and he cannot defend. Our sub bench usually has a decent player who is overlooked and we could play for 90 days in some games without scoring never mind 90 minutes. So many disgruntled fans and ones who were slating me for the last 3 years are now agreeing with me or now no longer post on here. I would gladly have Moyes back mow and that is the first time I have actually said that because usually going backwards is wron in football. This time ANYTHING different would be an inprovement!

I agree Degsy, watched the Leicester game today. They are like an old fashioned side. Strong defense who boot the ball forward or into touch if needed. No tippy-tappy stuff from the back, just good old fashioned boot for the forwards to run onto. Not good to look at but wins games which we are not doing under the present management.

You were right, everybody else is wrong. We get it.

Degsy, please don't say it's the first time you've said bring back Moyes. You've been banging his drum for the past 3 years since he left.

A lot of what you post is fair comment, but I'm not having that one mate.

I will agree with you about Martinez though, as would many now. In fact I was one of the ones that didn't want him in the first place. I'm angry with this man in charge, and hope that whatever happens this season we are not seduced into thinking he can somehow make us great again. Because no FA cup success, should it happen, will convince me otherwise.

We play good football at times as do Leicester, they have turned their fortunes around for the better while ours have turned back to the pre-Moyes era. We do have a better Squad than we have had for a long time, we do look good at times going forward but we are incredibly (to nick a word from our Managers vocabulary) naive, nervous and soft at the back. Somehow we need to get back the Teamwork and consistency that Leicester have now and that we had in the Moyes era. The thing is that under this Manager it is not going to happen, his 2IC has come out and said there is no plan B, the Manager himself has all but said he would rather we won 4-3 playing good football than 1-0 playing badly. The game is about competitiveness and with the money in the game now it is most certainly about accruing points A. to survive and B. to finish as high as we possibly can in order to attract the wealth it brings but most importantly attract the players that can keep us going forward.

04 Apr 2016 08:12:47
I don't think many actually wanted the guy Ace, most of the sway was for the Portugese club manager Vitor Pereire, we just accepted it when it was confirmed that we had him. Personally I loved him in our first season but we still had Moyes defensive tactics working then, once he got his philosophy into the players then the sh##e started rolling down the hill at a rapid rate, no way on this earth would I ever want Moyes back, respect the guy but the way he left done it for me, hate sneaky people, Martinez will be gone within 8 weeks so everyone who wants him gone just relax.

JCW wrote above that you don't make a fortune without being a smart man, correct, but you don't become a billionaire from scratch without being ruthless and accepting mediocrity, Mr Moshiri will not be bothered in the slightest if Bill and Bobby are best mates, if he wants him gone then he will be gone.

Agree4 Disagree0

04 Apr 2016 10:21:55
You are wrong Toffeeace, I never before said go back to Moyes. look up my posts. what I actually kept beating on about was that things were better under Moyes but it would be wrong for the club to go backwards and bring him back. That I have changed. I would now have him back so that he has the closed season to bed in again. Things are worse that people think is what I am saying. This squad is not balanced with lack of creativity. Lennon looks brilliant. He was Spurs 3rd choice winger. Mirrallas never plays. He was awesome under Moyes. 8 goals a season. Barkley looks good at times but is still a kid. Del Boy flatters to decieve.

04 Apr 2016 14:53:06
Degsy, can you start talking about Osman again please? These "I told you so" posts are tiresome. When we are already upset about the way things are going the last thing we need to hear is this.

Sorry Blue Tommy mate. I know the tiresome nature of it believe me. I am sooo passionate about our club I sometimes forget there are other arguments. Yeah I am down big time and it gives me no actual pleasure posting on here at the moment. But to give you a bit of response. does anyone know of any good little link midfielders we could sign from lower leagues? Marc Albrighton at Leicester City has been quite superb this season. Remember Villa released him. Bet they wished they had kept him now!

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Apr 2016 22:01:15
Apart from the cup this season is over. I was hopeful that our fortunes would change and we'd string a run of results together

Today's game and against Arsenal we were dreadful. I'd now like to see the majority of our 1st team dropped and give our fringe players and young guns a chance in the league. The younger ones will gain experience whilst some of our 1st team might realise they are not garunteed a starting spot.

Sorry fellow blues but all this hype about Barkley he beats one player then he thinks he's the next Georgie best doesn't pass gets the ball took off him then thinks I'm worth £45 million get a grip Ross and stop leaving it to the other players to sort your mess out while your walking back making it look like your trying to win it back? Stones to predictable what he's going to do lukakus first touch like an elephants ok like schmeichel said today on sky only for toms pals Everton would be fighting relegation now? Martinez needs to go now why keep him untill the summer and finish 15th or something anyway are seasons over now all going to waste are money on a day out at Wembley we are a unhinged stock at the minute sort it out asap kenwright and moshiri now please.

As souness said, without lukaku we would be relegated. from the start Lennon look out of the game (it happens sometimes) , but why can't no one see this. we had no in midfield to fight. moyes tactics was boring, but no its worst was everyone banging the ball up front or losing it in midfield or passing back, sideways. decisions was crap once again.

Truth is we played the poorest Man Utd side I've seen in years yet it felt like we were going through the motions as opposed to trying to win the game!
Semi final is in to many players minds and the league is forgotten!
Bad performances bad substitutions and a lack of wanting to win were so obvious!
Please tell me the board will not accept this?
This is not Everton! We could and should have won this game easy! It's like all that matters is this semi final! If this goes tits up what then?

Wouldn't be too concerned if we lost all 3 of our so called 'stars' at the end of the season. Lukaku has scored a lot of goals admittedly (I think that's why we paid so much for him? ) but his inability to jump for or head a ball and his all round control leave too much to be desired for the 'World Class' footballer he seems to think he is. Ross, although he is one of our own, injuries taken into consideration, has got to be one of the laziest midfielders I've come across not even bothering to chase back when the ball is given away (mainly by Ross himself ) and Stones, who I think has the most potential out of the three, seems to be going backwards in more ways than one!
Add to this the total tactical naivety of our present manager and his reluctance to see what everybody else can leads me to believe that to go forward we need major changes in personnel and management or be stuck in mid-table for the foreseeable future.

Very sad to hear a blue come on here and say that now he's not bothered about today's defeat.
That's apathy and sadly it's growing steadily day by day with Everton and RM.
Tonight he's 'dissapointed' about our performance but promises that they will regroup for the remaining fixtures.
Will nobody in this club rid us of this man who is clearly not fit for purpose.

We where crap again today except jags who was the only player to perform we r to predictably we don't put any pace into r game passing is to slow McCarthy runs around tackles but offers very little in a passing threat we pass the ball slowly across the back four teams press us we pass back then goalkeeper kicks the ball long and we loose possession we leave Rom isolated up front and expect him to do something but saying that he needs to start using his size to bully defenders especially since he ran of his mouth about leaving on international duty it's a little worrying that r midfield looks to rely on a 35 year old in Barry Barkley lack of form and tendency to drop to deep is annoying finally I didn't think I would say this but I think we bought a striker that is worse than kone in niaase he look totally lost out there I think the lad should play for r under 21s for a few games to get him some confidence and game time and the chance of scoring a few goals in his favoured position myself I would think of bringing in one of r talented under 21s I would play Kieran Dowell what u think ed.

I'm not one for creating, or being aggressive, but I seem to remember when Everton changed the badge a couple of years ago, that there was a campaign for all those who did not like the badge to register their dislike with the club, and after 10000 or so complaints the club agreed to change the badge. now why can't we do the same re: the manager. a coordinated effort that is.

We are now only 3 points above 16th. I talked about a relegation fight after about 15 games although I never dreamed it would be this bad. Loads of pontless possession going backwards and sideways with no thrust forwards. My girlfriend shows no interest in football and says we are awful to watch. I did used to love the Moyes football and had some heated debates on here when RM took over. Got fed up of being told we were much more exciting and people would rather watch us lose 4 - 3 than grind out a drab 1 nil win. Well we might need some of those drab 1 nil wins soon. Our run in is as difficult as anyones and I don't see many wins there. United are not special. they are grinding out 1 nil wins. I just wish we could now! Depressed and worried. that's me!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Leicester seem to be grinding out 1-0 wins and look where they are!
I believed at the start of the season we would finish 15th or lower, so I bet on it and have been laughed at and made fun of, wish I had been wrong but I was not. Another year of RM and we would go down or be very very close no matter who we bought.

Its beyond a joke now. Barkley was terrible. kept giving the ball away and not tracking back. can't do the simple thing or give a simple pass. should have been dragged off early. As for bringing on a forward with four mins to go, does he expect miracles. wonder what spin he will put on it this week.

03 Apr 2016 19:21:27
We have become very formulaic. anyone can guess the formation and the kind of players we will field. it feels like team selection and formation by Martinez is not dependent upon the oppositions squad, formation, strengths or weaknesses. that's the frustration I feel. there seems no thought in our starting 11 or the subs and the timing of them. and it's been the same all this season and last.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You are not being loyal as far as I can tell DM (if that is your real name), but you are simply going post by post to extol the virtues of having the manager kicked out. What if you got proactive for a moment and got behind the team? Everton need support and the team and teh fans need the push that decent support give a club. We get the fact that you want a new manager - repeating it over and over doesn't help. Not supporting the club screws stuff up. Everton are not at the top of their form, we all know that; any sort of boost is a good one for the club. Kicking when their down just makes it worse - but that is the way of the so called football supporter nowadays - but for me it is new to see it with Everton. They had loyal support - and I look at these posts and see it do nothing but drift in to outfield. There is nobody associated with the club who wants anything but success. It remains a pity that there are fans happy to see the club screw up to force change.}

03 Apr 2016 19:42:48
I have not once criticised the players and as an Editor you should know that. I go to all the home games, I say that because it is true and do not see why I should explain myself to you. As an Editor you should be neutral and quite obviously you are not, judging by some of your comments. Maybe not fit applies to yourself as well as Mr Martinez. I shall continue to support this great Club no matter who is in charge. I will take no lessons from you.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You don't appear to support the club at all DM. You troll post after post complaining about the management - you don't advocate anything. Whine all you want about me but I will continue to advocate that fans support the club. I am not sure why you want to suggest I am "not fit" like the manager, buthaps it is simplyu a continuation from you being one of the DF supporters Everton is stuck with. Again, perhaps the solution is in finding better supporters than replacing everyone at the club.}

03 Apr 2016 20:34:01
My loyalty is to the Club and players. I said from the off that RM was not the Manager for us and maintained that ever since. I take no pleasure game after game (in the League) seeing this prophesy come true. As I told you, I have not criticised the Club or Players and continue to support them. And it is not whining about you, just an observation on your ability to be neutral. And if being stuck with means my last 58 years since the age of 10, then Everton must have invented some form of super glue because I am still here. Have a good evening.

Interesting comment by Matt Le Tissier on ssn Saturday afternoon, I feel, when he likened John Stones to Rio Ferdinand at the same age. The only difference being that Ferdinand played with better Centre backs.
I can't remember whether Ferdinand was at Man U then or still at Leeds at that age. Can anyone place who the CBs May have been that he was referring to.
I can to a certain extent agree, because Jagielka has been found failing on several occasions for club and country, despite being a great servant to Everton.

Their fans are enjoying the ride, not expecting to much out of the team which let's the players play without as much pressure and it shows in their results.

As much as I still think this season has been a missed opportunity I can't help thinking are we expecting to much from the squad we have. Yes it is the best squad we've had in years but you could say that about most other teams in the league apart from villa. Not that I'm worried.2 maybe 3 quality signings in the summer and we'll be back at the business end of the league. And I don't mean the bottom half haha.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Apr 2016 16:49:11
Anom. looking at top half I'd say Lpool, Chelsea and maybe arsenal are not better than they have been for some time, which is why it's much more competitive this year. certainly Spurs, Stoke, West Ham and Leicester and city are, but on paper at least I feel that we have the talent in our squad to compete. which is why it stings a little as on paper I feel we should have been pushing for top 4 this year. I think players have let themselves down to a certain extent (arsenal 2 weeks ago for instance) , but I'd be expecting more from that squad under a different manager.

How hypocritical can you be? They hold up banners, hold rallies and go on marches about how greedy clubs are and enough is enough ticket prices are way to high for the average fan. So what do our red cousins do? only charge us £50 to 52 notes for a ticket for the derby,3 days before the semi final.

I think with all these string rumours of the likes of Lukaku, Stones and Barkley leaving in the summer this will surely force the Everton boards hand in sacking the clueless 1.as it stands at the mo under his stewardship Everton cannot offer the European football that these players want so surely there will need to be a change in the summer to firstly to stop these players leaving and giving them new hope for what can be achieved going forward under a new top manager!

after reading the Barkley rumours this morning which are most probably a load of crap

It makes you think. We need to update are wage cap asap. Are top earners probably don't earn more that 60k a week max!

To put things into perspective the Reds pay some of there players ridiculous amounts eg

Sturridge 120k a week
Benteke 140k a week
Milner 120k a week
Henderson! 100k a week!

Now I'm not saying we should be over paying are players but until we can offer the going rate its never going to change. Every season are best performers will be picked away by the vultures and we will never be able to compete

For me this summer is more about keeping are best players rather than signing new ones

Let's hope FM and BK address this issue.

Alright end fair enough but I'm only going on the info that's available to the average fan. But still Milner 135k! A week? . That's just ridiculous he's a solid average squad player at best.

{Ed001's Note - he's not that good.}

Here's my take on the Lukaku should he stay should he go issue. Yes he's scored lots of goals, but he's also missed an awful lot of chances (people forget those) . I think if we got 60m for him then that would be good business. Would allow us to pay off the manager and still have plenty left for a new striker. I personally like the lad at Norwich, just can't spell his name, but he's big strong and quick. Very similar to Rom. In my eyes we lack a spine in the team. So need a G/ K, C/ H, C/ M (who can score goals) , and a C/ F (if Rom goes) . We have enough to build the rest around this. Oh nearly forgot, and a new manager. Make the other feller head of youth development.

That is what a good striker does surely. In order to get the amount of goals they do strikers inevitably miss many chances. Changing Lukaku for another Striker capable of scoring as many goals does not mean he will take the chances lukaku misses, that does not make logical sense.

Missing chances is part and parcel of the game for a striker. Keepers fail to save,defenders miss or mistime tackles and midfields misplace passes.and the Norwich striker I'm sure is on loan there.

If we got £60 million for him, that would be good business. He is not as good as you or he thinks he is. If they don't want to play for the club then let them go.

Did anyone else notice very little has been said about couthinho's dive even my kopite mate said yes he dived he was booked get over it well when delefeou dived MOTD made a massive thing of it as did sky (couthinho's wasn't even showed on goals on Sunday) and every kopite was up in arms and us Everton fans condemned him my point being isn't it strange how different clubs are proteyed in different lights lfc made out to have fantastic fans a great atmosphere and a fantastically run club whereas we are made out to be a selling club with poor fans and a team that when cheats is took to the cleaners sorry for the rant just really irritates me how clubs get treated differently.

I know I'm fed up with sky the BBC and bt sports who all love them I mean rightly so they all had a go at delefeou when he dived but apart from 10 seconds from Ian Wright yesterday nothing has been said about couthinho's dive it's pathetically clear their stance on lfc doing nothing wrong.

I think one of the paper's today is playing a belated April fool's joke on us they have us as favorites to sign bony if lukaku leaves.
Thanks but no thanks might As well get kone there full time.
If rom is leaving I think we should bench him for rest of season an let nias pardon spelling get a few games ready for nxt season I mean it's not like we have anything to play for now is it. We should of known lukaku would of done this to us just look at how long he has been at other clubs.
I actually resent him now he is doing this to us.

Why would you bench one of the best strikers in the premiership? If Lukaku does go it will be on the clubs terms and we will do well from the deal, that is if he is leaving I'm sure someone from the club will sit with him and his agent and explain the clubs future plans.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - i think raiola has his future mapped out wakka, he wants him to leave everton so that he makes a fortune out of him mate..

03 Apr 2016 11:37:10
Let's not worry about if lukaku leaves or not he is a great player but we are an amazing club and will replace him with some of the 60m we receive. The way I feel about him I don't want to see him play for us again but that's just because of how disrespectful he has been and once the game starts he like every other player will have my total support coyb.

Ed, I agree that they lol do what lukaku wants to do. However, surely it's lukaku who is in the driving seat rather than his agent. or am I being naive? I guess what I'm saying is, is that if lukaku has the mental strength and is adamant enough to stay at Everton for another season, then no outside influence can change this. surely his agent needs him more than he needs his agent?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - the thing is jcl that its not all about the money, rom wants CL football and he cant see that happening at everton in the near future, and as much as it pains me to say it i agree with him mate..
