I simply can't believe he has the ability or foresight to turn it around now or next season should he be kept on.

If the club is going to show REAL ambition, they MUST set their sights higher than Martinez, another 12 months of going backwards would risk potential relegation, and that would simply be a catastrophe.

Hope you're right though and we have two trips to Wembley to look forward to, even if I can't even bring myself to think about the first one just yet.

Maybe if that programme seller is also a prophet, we might just find some belief.

We have a massive game next Saturday evening and we need everyone behind the team.

Osman was knackered, understandably with so little game time under his belt, but he showed Jagielka what being a Captain should be, berating the hapless Pawson as they walked off at half time.

Kone looked like the winner of a Jim'll Fix It competition, where the winner is plucked from the crowd and given the number nine shirt as his prize. Utterly useless. Niasse must be a Bakayoko play-alike if he can't get on instead of Kone who must now rank alongside Brett Angel, Bernie Wright and Rod Belfitt as the worst forwards we've seen. Whatever the story with Niasse, it won't make pleasant reading.

To me, it came across as "Not bothered because we're crap, got a crap boss, and we'll get beat in the semi anyway."

Martinez has lost the players, I'm afraid.

Well written, as always, Ken, but you're quite right in grasping the word of the moment: sad, sad, sad.

The one good thing about yesterday's game was Lukaku's contribution: he done more for the team sitting on the bench than Wednesday's game at Crystal Palace.

"I want to play in the Champions league" – give me a break.

So despite the poverty of their performance, for the derby I would stick with most of the eleven which finished yesterday's game. Having seen only five league wins at Anfield in 46 visits, I can easily wait another season to see the next one.

Pathetic, a new low, heartless – regardless of Wembley next Saturday – they couldn't win an argument. No excuses – this was just a new low; under any other manager, positives would be expressed, players would be castigated, but not this "No-mark"!!!

Just how long has Coronation Bill been at Goodison, as currently him & our no-mark are just a joke, an exceptionally poor imitation of our beloved Blues. Please, please let's have some ACTION, from our so-called board, or are watching a different match?? Match of the Day, equally as painful with Lineker, as always an equal, no mark, comment joke!!

I've watched, supported the Blues for 50? years. Get rid – please!!

It's easy to see why, young Davies showed that bit of bite that should shame some of the older ones. Last season, Lennon did the same, his eagerness to get the ball back showed up the others. We look unfit, uncoached, with very little interest in games.

I hope things turn around for the semi-final but I won't hold my breath.

As me and you attend all away games, including all the European ones, I don't think we should be criticised for suggesting such a team line-up for Wednesday.

I remember the home match against Norwich in April which we lost 2-0 (goals by Joe Royle and the late Justin Fashanu). The sense of absolute hopelessness on that day, and the feeling that we would never win another match was exactly what it felt like at Goodison yesterday even when we were briefly 1-0 up. Kone is the new Imre Varadi, Funes Mori is the new Billy Wright, Mirallas is the new Joe McBride and Martinez is a poor man's Gordon Lee.

The present manager and most of the team are absolutely hopeless and the only way forward is to rip up everything about the Martinez era and start again from scratch with a new manager and new players – there are only a handful of the present players I would keep. It will take time, but with the financial clout that we apparently have now, this has to happen. I just can't understand how Martinez is still employed – it beggars belief, it really does.

Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water, spitting the dummy etc.

No, my problem is with the skill levels when we try to keep the ball at close quarters ... we come second so often. Don't we practise? We look ponderous when playing the ball around, taking one or two touches when a one touch would be better, not sure what sort of pass we should be playing, never making a "1-2" run, And this has to be down to the manager and his style of play.

Good players in our team look average at best because of this ponderous approach. And then we ask our good players to "carry" the likes of Osman, Delofeu, and Kone, who contribute bugger all, and regularly give the ball away. This is unrealistic, no team of players can handle that load.

So I am a bit defensive about some of our players who are being asked to do a "double shift" covering for some of the crap we carry thanks to the blindness of our manager. How could he keep Osman on for 90 minutes, when he hardly did a completed pass?

Frustrating watching the Blues when we make so many elementary errors. If a sliderule pass is intercepted, well that happens, but a 10 yard pass with nobody on, wow, I get really angry.

Kenwright is the problem at Goodison as he is the one – despite all his cheap talk – that does not see us as a big club and is happy with the plucky Everton talk.

The only way that we will improve on and off the pitch is if the new majority shareholder takes over and places his own chairman in charge, answerable to him.

Stones was excellent. And all the idiots writing him off will soon be in tears when he goes;

Barkley had the ball on a string most the time and was trying to run the show and I would say he was;

Besic was having the best game of McCarthy's season... breaking up play, passing the ball on nicely;

Osman was a poor version of Cleverly some nice touches but lost the ball too;

Then Davies: Davies was brilliant! DFM in the Premier League at 17! That's the reserve of gifted strikers. Great touch, confidence and a perfect tackle. You know him and Besic looked superb together. Yep remember the name alright!

In those 10 minutes, the team was buzzing, players had movement and I couldn't believe it was the team I was reading on our live forum. That team was the better side.

Catterick played a team of reserves at Leeds in 1966. We lost 4-1, were fined by the FA, but a week later won the semi final. Nobody was in the least bit bothered about the Leeds result.

As a replacement, I would stick my neck out and say Zac Clough, just relegated to League One with Bolton – may be worth a punt.

I want this manager out as much as many but please just fucking lay off Bill Kenwight who is not well at all and anyone having a go right now is a disgrace, there is not an Evertonian with more blue blood in his veins as Bill.

"Tom Davies will be in the full England team within 3 years."

If he played for Spurs, he'd be in now... ;-)

If ever I saw a young Alan Ball (I was lucky to see him play many times), then this lad is the next.
