I hoped I'd regret driving

And so it came to pass Oviedo had a nghtmare, no defenders were available to come on and Niasse did not get a game.

And this idiot still claims many Evertonians understand and support what he is doing.

Well I would love to know who they are because I don't know any Blue that still wants this embarrassing cretin at our club.

To the best of my knowledge for the first time in history the RS were singing the name of our manager.

Besic, God bless him never stopped trying...

Stones is embarrassing, causes a goal, sits down, waves, trots off straight down the tunnel without any acknowledgment to the greatest away fans in the world who pay this arrogant self-obsessed head-in-own-ass bastard who is not fit to wear the blue shirt.

IF we lose Saturday put Sheeds in charge Monday who will play the young lads that he knows better than anyone to at least end this season on a brighter note.

Summer - new gaffer - money - and I will not be unhappy to see the back of Stones - Lukaku - McCarthy - Pienaar - Osman - McGeady - Hibbert - Gibson - Niasse - Kone - and can't believe I'm saying this, Baines

The future is bright for three reasons - and probably more.

1. Moshiri - and Woods storming out after the 3rd goal - and new gaffer and new signings

2. Dowell - Ledson - Connolly - Garbutt - Browning - Galloway - Holgate - Davies etc.

3. Players like Ross, Del, Seamus, Mo, Bryan, are not under performing recently because they are not committed or sub-standard but because of the general malaise, stupor, low morale, lack of spirit, and low collective trust in the fella in the hot seat.

The root cause will be gone in 5 days or 5 weeks.

I for one am very very optimistic about next season.

I agree with all the players you'd be happy to wave bye to and I'm just praying you're right about Moshiri and Woods thinking enough is enough.

To be honest losing Rom and Stones in the summer will not be the end of the world if it comes to pass.

Of our so called stars only Ross gets a pass mark at the moment for at least wanting to try. Stones is a nightmare who never learns and Rom wants to play for a champions league team next year. If we pocket 110 million for both of them let them go.

The Kenwright era at Everton is coming to a sad end. Remember, he has presided over the longest period in the clubs history during which we have failed to win silverware. He should have moved on three or four years ago. The banner which flew over Saint Mary's earlier in the season get it spot on!

Our manager is like master Stones, he never learns from his mistakes. The new owner will surely take the necessary course of action either next Monday, if we lose the Semi final or at the end of the season. I would like to think that the supporters will behave in a dignified manner this side of his removal, it's a matter of when not if at this stage. We don't need supporters entering the pitch and confronting the manager!

We need to stick together, now more than ever. We have a Cup Semi Final on Saturday and we cannot allow ourselves to be humiliated.

Forget the manager, we now need the leaders in the dressing room to stand up and get a grip of the situation. Next Saturday evening at 5.15 is our Alamo, who among the present squad is going to stand and deliver when things appear to be at their lowest ebb?

The writing was on the wall over three months ago with this manager, yet the incompetent board members lacked the ruthlessness and business acumen to deal with it.

It actually hurt me to see Klopp and his coaching staff on the bench having a good laugh between themselves at what they were witnessing before their eyes.

Shame on you Kenwright, and shame on all those blues who backed the Chairman and hapless manager in the last 12 months.

1) It seemed John Stones came back on the pitch for the second half later than the rest of the players, so it's possible he did have a problem.

2) Putting all our feelings about Martinez to one side, I assume the reason we had no defenders on the bench was because we started the game with 3 players that are thought to be able to play in defence in some formation or other if required Barry, Lennon and McCarthy, with Besic on the bench.

Not saying it's the right policy.

Why? Will it upset the rythym, well-drilled organisation and balance of this finely tuned side? (Can't really call them a team anymore).

Might it mean someone coming in and playing players out of position?

Maybe someone else might do something stupid like having a defender on the bench or playing a kid who is itching to get into the first eleven and has no fear of the occasion?

Don't know if these 11% have a bible in the house but they should look up Matthew 15:14.

That guy sat through it all alongside Elstone. Woods did as reports say leave after the third goal.

I will bet that a number of pollsters changed their minds maybe even a few times, as it's the team most people are thinking about, not Martinez.

My view changed radically,once Leighton Baines let the cat out of the bag and the response that Martinez took. That to me was the "defining moment." to coin a phrase. From then on, my belief has been he should step down or be sacked.

So, I don'tthink you need to quote the bible. I think most pollsters have had enough of Martinez the question is when, not if.

As regards entry to Anfield, I entered 45 minutes before kick off when the place was virtually deserted. To avoid the late crush the answer is simple. Don't get there late.

I felt, being old, that to me this game was more important than Saturday's. The derby game rightly or wrongly defines Everton's status. The players obviously felt differently. Wembley gives them a chance to show what they can do to prospective future employers.

I've not felt so bad about a derby defeat since when as an eight year old I witnessed the 4-0 cup defeat to second division Liverpool when I naively thought we couldn't lose. I cried that day. I wanted to weep last night as I watched the shambles at Anfield.

With a new manager and some cash being thrown in for better quality players we should have a nucleus that fits around:

GK ?
RB - Coleman
CB - Stones or Funes Mori
CB - ?
LB - ?
RM -
CM -
CM - Barkley
LM - Del
F -
ST - Lukaku

Subs:
GK - Robles
CB - Funes Mori / Stones
CB - Jagielka (if not sold)
LB - Galloway
RB - ?
M - Besic
M - Lennon
M - Cleverley
S - ?

Baines should be sold in the summer as, I'm sorry to say, he's now on his way down. Whilst Jagielka is very vocal and a solid defender he too needs to be reducing his appearances and someone else brought in to support Mori or Stones.

The biggest gaps in the team is midfield. Left midfield has been missing for a while. The team needs a midfield player who can boss the midfield. Man Utd missed Keane when he went. Arsenal missed Viera when he went.

Clear the dead wood, add a couple of experienced class players and blood the kids with a proven manager and for heavens sake give Ross someone with skill to help him in the centre. Wingers are too far away and not schemers and our DMs haven't got the skill. Walsh and Dowell perhaps?

Both full-backs, Baines and Coleman are shadows of their former attacking selves.

The centre-halves don't dominate their attacking opponents.

The midfield, even, now, including Barkley, do not score goals or get into dangerous attacking areas - Everton are really missing Fellaini, who would dominate both penalty areas and score goals.

Upfront, that particular area has come to a full stop with regards to creating and scoring goals - thank heavens, Everton have got enough points on the board to see Everton through to next season.

What I got was sympathy; fucking SYMPATHY, that we are in decline and on route to the Championship whilst they confer with the United supporters on who is going to make the top 4.

Cracking day!

What I feel I can say is no-one can argue that we have got a real problem with moral playing tactics and the public face as portrayed to the media – otherwise known as Martinez.

The only really sad thing now is, if we win the FA Cup, which I would love, would he get another chance next season? I could not take that. I would never stop supporting the club which I have for over 50 years but my god they do make it difficult for us.
