Your quotes on him the last few posts are bang on. He's a mobile Barry minus the wealth of experience Barry has. He's needed a club where he is loved, lucky he's come to the perfect place. Should be a shout for the euro squad in my opinion.

Oviedo deserves his spot as do all the other players.
 
I would love to see gerry and mirallas play but only because they have earned their place.
 
Good competition for places. That also means a Howard has to wait also.

There have been a few of us preaching patience. Although I understand the concern of others and I know 2 good league results don't rescue a season, however I think we are close to having an incredible squad, challenging for trophies.

good post this, I know it's only two results but maybe the penny we were all waiting for has dropped

It's as much the manager as it is the players fault for us losing so many points late on. This is an incredibly unique premier league season.. Let the teams around us sack managers, chop and change players/squads over a few bad results. Stability will be key over the next few years, especially as our ( Martinez's ) squad grows ever strong.

Sack him. We have no chance of Europe and we're in a relegation fight. The players hate the manager, bring back Moyes.

Got to stick with Lennon & Cleverley for this. Both have played well enough to earn spots.

He doesn't like a tackle, understandably. He was told he would never play football again. Its not like his game is to be a Lee Cattermole and be a talentless yard dog - as much as I don't like players not getting stuck in, it is understandable in his case.
 
Has anyone seen how many opposition players cover him? He has 1 marker and if he gets the ball another will commit to him - this frees up a player to pass to, so when people think he is hanging on the ball - for me he is waiting for the run. The fact that he can shoot means players have to close him. He will get better at this. I want to see him shoot first time more though.
 
He's poor in the air, no excuses - he's 6ft 2 and should be far better in this regard.
 
He just needs to get all the fans behind him - no groans, more encouragement - he will be a star.

Fuck me...imagine if we'd lost [emoji38]

Watched the game at the stadium and Lennon was wank.
Hardley showed or moved in the second half. Barkley for me with mentions for cleverly and oviedo.

Boom, replay of Chelsea goal and Robles nailed it

Come on boys

Ossie has probably played more big games for us than anyone else in the squad, we need experience/sensible heads tonight, I've no problem with him at all. Plus he almost scored a superb goal against them the other week. Plus we wouldn't be here without his goal v Norwich (I've said that before).
 
He won't last 90/120 mins but he's unlikely to let us down.

According to Roberto we have nothing to lose in this game... only a lead and a spot in the final, Roberto. Only that!

Replace Naisy withsomeone who would run through a brick wall for the club. Replace Kone with a brick wall.

Can only agree with everyone else. Sad to see him go; top pro, top bloke.
 
Certain members of our squad (in fact every squad in the league) should be looking at him and then looking in the mirror.

sportingintelligence‏@sportingintel MAGIC of Cup: Exeter's draw (and Anfield replay) to earn them c.£700,000, or the thick end of a year's wage bill. Win would've paid a month.

Fourth Official on Twitter saying it's a done deal. Do with that what you will.
 

Can't wait to see the FA react to Roberto's comments, all of which are just.
 
If Moyes were in charge today, he would have folded at 2-2 shitting himself trying to hold onto a point.
We can't let this unfortunate result demoralise us and take away from the fact that we've just matched city twice, matched Tottenham and in your opinion outplayed chelsea ( bar 10 minutes ) at the bridge.

Follow the thread from the middle mate... United win has been mentioned.

Biggest positive is kevin mirallas. He had the fire today and showed his quality. Long may it continue.

Kev and Gerry would need to play in a 4-3-3. Maybe Ross needs a rest, was a bit disappointed in him tonight.

In form centre half.
