I don't trust Marriner one bit. He gives the impression of being competent, or at least neutral. He appears fairly even-handed in non-threatening areas, but gives us nothing and them everything in the danger areas. He bumbles around, giving them all the 50/50s, penalising us whenever one of theirs goes down but letting Everton get away with minor fouls. He's probably not the worst referee out there, but he influences games with careful subtlety.
