Disagree with the Barkley comment I thought he played well tonight its the first time we've played like a team in ages. Valencia why have you been sat on the bench? McCarthey where's that type of display been all season? Coleman back to his busy best, hope this wasn't a one off. Valencia gets my vote just.

With a display like last night's I'm wondering if Koeman may have to rethink on his idea to get shut if him he was everywhere.

It's either bookies or beer companies and to be honest I don't see the difference if I'm honest I like a drink I like a bet luckily I do both now and again not as a habit.

Maybe a blast back to pork luncheon meat of the 80s is in order whatever happened to Hafnia???

He probably expected the ball to go straight in it looked like it was going to, but not his fault Stekelenburg had a brain fart!

He made some really important interceptions yesterday and is clearly quicker over ground than Jags I'd stick with him.

Rather not have a bookie sponsoring us.

Didn't do Stoke any harm infact they're owned by the owner of bet 365 aren't they?

Could've been kinder!! A premier club in the 3rd round never gonna be easy.

Gana, I just wish we played like the last 25 minutes all game.

So who do you suggest we bring in to replace Koeman and how long do we give the new manager, 10 games, 5 games, 45 minutes?

 

 

 

The problem at the moment is Koeman wants us pressing the ball the players we have were told to do exactly the opposite for 3 seasons.

He needs time to get his own players in players he knows can do what he wants them to. January can't come fast enough!!

Went for Barkley, Gana was his usual industrious self but I think Barkley's effort wins him the vote he really tried yesterday.

Wouldn't it have cost about 7 million to loan Hart for one season? I'm pretty sure I read something along those lines.

I'm hoping we've already got a new number 1 lined up altho if I'm totally honest where Robles is concerned the saying goes don't change a winning team.

Torn to shreds by Costa

The whole defence was marking fresh air most of the time. To be fair their movement was as good as I've seen from any team this season.

Tom Davies only one who looked like he cared pity he was only on the pitch for 20 or so minutes.

Useless.

Didn't get enough coaching or responsibility from Roberto.

Did any of the team???

Robles did nothing wrong to be fair and played well but Stekelenburg doesn't deserve to lose his place imo.

Ross, took his time to get going but when he did he was brilliant. Lukaku ran him close today if his last chance had not been saved I may have voted differently.

 

He is registered, don't know why this keeps coming up .

It keeps coming up because he wasn't issued a squad number so people automatically think he isn't.

Can't really see him playing on past this contract injuries like he sustained on his knee ruin a young players career never mind someone of his age.

Pity we never got to see him fully fit whether or not he would ever have been good enough we will never know.

hmmm interesting....

Hasn't had the "playing opportunities" makes me wonder if he's been dropped?

Loved Sharp and Heath they were brilliant together. I must say the big man little man strike force doesn't always work tho just ask Sharpy what his thoughts on Cottee.

Yes he made a hash of the first goal but let's be honest it should never have got to the point where he has to make the save. The ball should've been cleared way before it got anywhere near our goal and more to the point never lost in the first place.

Big step from the U23s to first team, wonder how they (U23s) would fare in the Russian league?

 

Result has no bearing on it imo, it's down to who's the best man on the pitch.

That's the way it always should be isn't it? Well that's how I've always voted.

I know Sky tend to give it to the winning team but if we had lost 1-0 yesterday surely our Keeper would still have taken the motm award?

Jags was excellent yesterday, okay he gave away 2 penalties but come on the amount of defending we were asked to do in that game was ridiculous. There won't be many games were we need to defend like that.

I'd agree and say Williams would make a better captain than Jags he's a lot more vocal but the pair have been great up to now so why the need to change?

Throw Baines back in when he's fit again and we have a solid looking back 4.

Who voted Lukaku? He wasn't even on the pitch in the first half was he?? Haf was that you???
