I'm getting annoyed with Stones now, stop messing around with the ball and boot it! It reeks of arrogance and I think his heads gone. he wants to join another club.

Alcaraz having a decent game second half

Can someone enlighten me as to what Ross Barkley offers this team? No creativity, lazy. Gibson could do a better job at CAM

Joel Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines Besic Gibson McCarthy Mirallas Lukaku Naismith

Some quick thoughts: Overall: No passion, no movement, no urgency. Creeping around the outside of the box and scared to go in it. Passing all the time, how about some more crosses? Defence was pretty solid, Jagielka good game. No idea why he took Besic off, best player on the pitch. Barry had a good game. Barkley: seemed to love walking around with the ball but not doing anything with it. Show some pace, take a shot, anything! Naismith: was he supposed to be a winger? Seemed to play at number 10, left Coleman with all the work on the right. Lukaku: can't hold up the ball, terrible game. Overall: I'm fed up with Martinez and I want him out. The players lack desire, creativity and passion, and that is partly his fault. And his tactics are awful.

When will Martinez realise Distin isn't good enough? Naismith on the wing? So many problems all over the pitch...
