Don't get me wrong, I would still prefer Besic. But I also still think James is a good player. I also recognise the fact that we collect more points with him in the team. And from what I'm told.....points are more important than playing fancy football ;-)

Eh? I said he was MoM or a close second, not just a decent performance. My opinion of course. And the reference to Robles? Ain't got a clue what your on about sorry. But I'll start being a good little boy for you if it makes you feel better

I'm sure he has played a couple of matches there already. Did well from what I can remember. He's also played as our main forward.

A few of them are correct. His Chelsea comments actually drew good criticism from a lot of fans. He uses the word phenomenal a lot? So? Really? Is that actually a problem for people? Haha makes me laugh, they should be looking at themselves as the problem is with them.

Everton 3-0 Southampton Lukaku

Yes me. Reasons being last night. If you would have seen him before he got sent off you would have saw the pressing, the tackling, the passing and his Link up between defence and attack. Against Watford I think he was a very close MoM. Had an excellent game. Stupid sending off though. Persistent fouling and then a silly second yellow

Agree. I have gone from supporting him to wanting a change. Even if he wins the remaining six matches, wins the cup and buys Yarmalenko I still think I would dread another year.

But so ate Martinezs stats skewed by presumption thos season. I still think we will find is top ten. Just so we're clear....stats are more skewed by the lower numbers, not the higher ones. So basing Martinez stays on three seasons rather than eleven could also be a little unfair. Your arguing the wrong stat in my opinion. Your argument that Martinez isn't the right man..... I can agree with.

You proved his point but we also have matches left to rise higher and could won a cup....he may end the season with a better average than Moyes and a cup. Wouldn't that mean he has moved us forward?

Stones for me. Looked excellent last night. Tackling and blocks to go with good distribution. Robles a close second. Some good saves and a clean sheet.

Haha not this time. I do think he's been much better this half. Still needs more tempo consistently but better from him. First half was dire.

He's been pretty good the second half.

Stones has been excellent tonight.

Frickin hell can't believe I hooked so many haha. More like a net than a hook.

Oh dear you committed the cardinal sin and explained haha. Yes I know you were dear.

Was just thinking that. Barkley is like a different player this half.

You listening on the radio? He's actually made a few decent stops tonight, one very good one. Admittedly he has dropped a few crosses and his distribution hasn't been as good as usual ...but on the whole I would say he is having a good game. Watch the highlights later and you'll see.

Silly silly boy.

That's better just hit the ball.

Unlucky Coleman. Good effort there. Better football.

I'm just mystified. Will be typical that we perform now and the manager will think that Kone made all the difference haha.

Had to redirect the pigeon for you. It went back and forth a few times looking really pretty without really getting anywhere. Phenomenal take off though.

True Paul. My Initial point was aimed at the factual stats that had been put up. I didn't follow the majority though trust me. I just thought more about it thats all. My initial comment was based on the woodwork stat, but I agree that's not down to luck, that's bad targeting. The more I think about it the more I worry that someone up there just doesn't like us. Some of the deflections that are heading for a throw in and hit an ass, then loop up and in. But then again this happens to every team. I stand by my point that for the majority of the season we have looked good and that we have lost or drawn when our chances and play deserved a win. But hey, this is football, you don't get what you feel you deserved all the time.

Still good to have two of our own on the short list. Well done boys.

No one's focusing on it Haf, just not if owing it either. It has made or broke careers. For the record I did put good/bad I also referred to our penalty against Man City. Chalk hit it on the head, luck can take charge if you let it. The trick is not to get into the situation where it can take charge.
