Martinez is very good attacking manager as we can see with how many goals Everton have scored this year already and if we could defend we would be top 4 now. Everton need to address only the defensive side of our game and that has to start with the coaches, whatever it is they are relaying to the players is clearly not good enough, the players in the back 4 have bags of ability and are more than capable of producing clean sheets, (need a leader in there).
For me investing in quality coaching staff is as important as investing in players, so bringing coaching staff from Wigan with Martinez which guided Wigan to relegation is strange to me, Kenwright see potential in Martinez as a manager and that is all that should have come. Everton before Martinez were a solid defensive side lacking in attacking creativity at times but Martinez does bring this to Everton and it worked in his first season as the defensive ethic was still in place and it had us all believing but over time the defensive solidarity diminished as coaching staff which come with him have put their mark on the team, better defensive coaching staff need to be hired.
Super frustrated with Everton against Stoke yesterday. I am a big fan of John Stones he is top quality but making a lung in the box like he did when the angle was all but lost to Arnautovic to score only leaves the potential for the ref to give a penalty regardless to the slight touch Stones managed to get on the ball. I have lost all confidence of Howard in goal these days, so many errors which are costing use dearly.
Anyhow i just wanted to air some thoughts of mine as I'm super frustrated as we all are.
