It seems Martinez now has a 1st 11 in mind and barring injury and suspension that is who he will play.
Kone has been ok this year, but would anyone honestly start him ahead of Kev or Del?
Barry also has been ok so far (yesterday aside), but I still think with the players we have it would suit us not to have him as a nailed on starter.
Barkley looks great coming from deep, but keeps being played forward (or wide - WHY).
Back Four picks itself, can't help the bad luck at left back.
Howard great game yesterday need more of the same.
Lukaku scores goals, and for that he deserves his place. Could do so much more though.
McCarthy this year so far not good enough, needs to do better.
Once again IMO Martinez needs to do better. I just get no sense of leadership. He can public statements about keeping Stones it means nothing? For all we know that's a club written press release.
Didn't even get into transfers there!
