Everton 1-2 Swansea City – 6 Things We Learned

3. Evertonians Are Losing Patience With Martinez€™s Underachievers

Some are calling this Everton€™s strongest squad since the trophy-filled €˜80s, but a run of just one win in ten matches has left the Blues languishing in the bottom half of the table - and supporters€™ frustration is beginning to show. Sizable sections of the crowd booed the Blues off the park after watching them squander chance after chance in the second half against Swansea, the only time the home supporters let their passion show all afternoon. A cursory glance at social media tells a similar story. Facebook and Twitter feeds are awash with comments like €˜Martinez out€™ and calls for the club€™s board to stand down. This is commonplace for any team in the wake of a disappointing defeat like this one, but in Everton€™s case, they€™re more prevalent than usual. Hopes were high that Everton would improve on last season€™s 11th-place finish this term, but with the Swansea reverse leaving the Blues down in 12th, question marks are starting to linger over Martinez€™s future at the club.
