Apologies in advance for the long message but have sat back and read messages on this site for a long time.
I will firstly say that I do think Martinez has and is making some big errors. Everybody can see that we need to mix up our play and still playing players out of postition is unforgivable. Does seem like that something behind the scenes has gone wrong as well.
What I can not stand though is people now saying "I said from the start that he would get us relegated etc" 6 months ago everybody was on here saying he is the best manager we have ever had and how much better it is now that we try and win games oppose to what we were under Moyes.
Some posts saying that would happily have Moyes back, I agree when it comes buying a player on a budget then he's your man but please.the football under him was so negative. Go 1 nil up, defend for the next 70 mins and take off all atacking players for the last 20 and end up trying to cling onto a draw.
The premiership this season is also the most competative I have ever seen it, I really don't think Moyes would be doing much better.
I live in Bristol so don't get to the ground half as much as I would like, and applaud all the fans on here that do go week in week out and with paying that stupid amount tickets cost these days you are entilted to moan with what we are seeing at the moment but I do feel that the groaning after 5 mins into the game is a bit much and you can tell the players are so nervous of making a mistake it is making them make them even more. And I do watch every Everton game and have a unhealthy obsession of reading up on them for hours in a day but just can't make the games for finacial/travel reasons.
So all I would say lads is get behined the team, I am confident that Martinez will turn things around and we will be prasing him again by the end of the season.
