Really suprised with the fans tonight, I actually felt a little ashamed to be an evertonian. No wonder the team starts to panic!! 3-0 up and keep ball is fine. It's when we're not winning and we are just constantly passing it across the back line that's it's a problem

No.... but if I was I wouldn't have been booing! Ashamed was probably a bit much but it made me cringe hearing it and I believe my sentiment has been echoed by others!

In all fairness to Lukaku I think it is far harder to play that solitary frontman role in the formation we play. Lots of hard graft, kicks, double marking and little glory..... Although he hasn't been great! Think both Naismith and Eto have an easier job playing further back picking the ball up facing goal rather than with their back too it.
 
Still very impressed with both of them but Eto looked like a bit of class, great movement and vision he has, a touch of world class at times. He's an undoubted goal scorer but after today's performance I got an insight into what a clever player he is with regard to movement vision and ability to play others in. Will be a real game changer for us and able to play several positions across the front line.
 
The bitterness has almost faded from tonight's result and I'm starting to see the positives. Not many teams anywhere that will dominate 62 percent of the ball against Chelsea. A few things go different and we could have easily won, the most worrying thing is how many times we conceded straight after scoring, happened preseason too!
 
Not the greatest start to the season but with Eto, Lukaku, Kone ( who I still think will surprise a few people) and Naismith we have goals, variety and enough to scare any team. Most overrated player in the premiership Jags, poor defending all night plus a couple of individual howlers, if Martinez is truly a great manager he will make a brave move and drop him for Stones! Can't see it though, captain and all that..... Just have this worry at the back of my mind that our defensive performances last year were residual Moyes, a defensive master and now we are seeing Wigan esq defending. All the more worrying when you take the preseason into account too!
 
Still I'll take it over Moyes, boring football, all intent on blunting the opponents. Went two nil down tonight and always felt we could get back into it! Martinez brings glamour, good football, always an unpredictable match day. Two points after three games, gutted, but torn as there have also been so many positives! Think we could be a cup team this year, breaking a twenty year drought.......Eto with the winner, last and most important feather in a feather filled cap!

In all fairness I don't think Distin did too much wrong, wasn't brilliant but was having to play next to Jags who had his worst game I have seen in an Everton shirt. Think Stones is a better partner for Distin than Jags but really can't see Martinez, the type of manager he is dropping Jags. Would be too much like blaming him for the six let in and Martinez for me is all about building Morale and team spirit.

Look at them votes.... Naismith 34 votes clear, rewind one year and he was booed, slated, hated and underrated (me included). How fickle are us fans, all credit to the lad a meteoric rise, maybe not the most gifted but a great finisher, good movement and the best attitude in our team. A potential Goodison hero? We all love an underdog but there is nothing better than someone who battles through the abuse, keeps his head up and proves us all wrong.
Can't be easy to be written off, played out of position ( classic moyes) and to maintain belief in yourself! Think I'm getting a man crush
Lol. Anyway no surprises where my vote went.......yep Coleman, awesome all night and desperately unlucky for the own goal!!

Would love to be super excited but the 20 mil difference disappearing into Billys back pocket never to be seen again just frustrates me........good buisness for one year!
