Everton have some decent players, but you're right. Martinez was good and just getting by. Unless he thinks he's now going to be "just getting by" into the Champions League, I'm not really sure what he's got for them.
The thing about Rodgers is that, even at a side who had just come up, he still had Swansea attack every team they played.
Martinez was good because he could get his squad to defend for their lives and try to catch clubs on the counter, and occasionally attacking clubs playing like absolute ***** when Wigan were playing at home, and that would often backfire on him. Now that he's with Everton, he's going to need to go on the attack nearly every game, and that's not the style he's best at using.
