extremely obvious fraud.

has one of the top 4 squads and will finish out of the top 10

West Ham and Stoke's squads are miles better than Everton's, then there's Tottenham and the old-guard top 4 who aren't even debatable. Barry and Cleverley starting in midfield is top four to you?

They're getting match-winners out of Aaron Lennon ffs. If Everton have the money to buy proper players now it'd be worth their time to figure out of Bobby Martin can recognise good defenders when he doesn't have to budget.

Stoke maybe based on butland. West Ham maybe based on how good their cheap transfers have worked in one year. Man U just lol at that squad

That's the only weird one. Alderwield could be in it, too. Otherwise that's those are the best picks in this boobie 's opinion.

To the Everton fans here, how do you guys currently feel about Martinez? I was reading a story on Leighton Baines' recent comments about team chemistry and the commenters there seemed pretty pissed off about how Martinez has handled that and handled the team this season as a whole.

Personally I'm absolutely fed up of his deluded bullshit. We've been playing the same way for two years now and we still have glaring problems - countless defensive catastrophes, serious lack of pressing, lack of creativity, some loving insane subsitutions, and then blaming everything apart from himself - its all starting to get a bit too much for everyone.
People who don't see us every week say "oh but they play nice attacking football", but most of the time we dont really. Occasionally we might put together a few nice moves or a good counter attack, and we can look exciting when we have to go for broke (usually because we've just given a stupid goal away), but on the whole our football is ineffective. We seem to be capable of keeping possesion for long periods and doing precisely gently caress all with it, while at the other end we look vulnerable from every attack that comes our way. Some people in the media have pointed out the crowd seem edgy all the time and are quick to get on the players backs, but thats because there has been absolutely no change from last year which was an absolute trainwreck. So we're edgy because we've it all before and it keeps happening. Our league form has been awful and we deserve to be exactly where we are.

As for the Baines comments, all he said was that we've been lacking chemistry, which is completely true. Martinez then said his comments had been "taken out of context", but made Baines apologise to him for saying them. Considering how much we all love Baines its pissed off a lot of the fans.

He has definitely succeeded in making everyone terrified of making a simple clearance. When i watch Everton almost all of those stupid goals are from trying to pass out of their own box no matter how obviously inadvisable it is at the time

That FA Cup win is just a huge albatross around Martinez's neck at Everton.

How can he win if he's already won?
