I can't reveal my source due to job protection but the players have lost faith in him and have gone to the extent to say they 'hate' having him as a manager.

Rumour is Howard is out for 6 weeks time to prove yourself Joel!

Martinez has lost the dressing room he doesn't have long left...

Got to be the linesman his decisions were unquestionable! -_-

may aswell start early... its a micky mouse cup anyways...

i dont have a clue why we aren't crossing this ball lukaku has just proven then he can beat the centre backs in the air... he is stronger and faster than both of them we can do this COYB!

This fella is a liability as of late his passing is dreadful and he takes unnecessary risks constantly and I personally believe that he is responsible for both of our goals conceded today I hope he gets dropped for Wednesdays match... And can't wait to pick up some money for him in the summer

He seems overconfident and very arrogant he has expressed interest in moving to Barcelona or Chelsea... He thinks he is to good for us wouldn't want him coming with that kind of attitude I sincerely hope that we do not sign him!

it's getting harder and harder to watch us every week... it ruins my day/night whenever i watch

I've been positive about our play and was convinced we could climb the table until today... the result of this match has just shown me that we are doomed to always come close but never finish... we could have and should have won but we just can't manage it... game over for us lads we may just make the top half of the table

far too late though... they should have been on 10 mins back

how the fuck is costa still on the pitch multiple fouls that are well worthy of yellow cards!

come on now boys...there momentum has been stopped now we can start building again we need more subs on than just mori

im fucking sick of this

i think lennon needs to come off... just doesn't have the same threat as del we have been attacking from the left side and nothing from the right, del can put some energy in on that side!

Hope to see more energy from Rom next half he was slightly lax at times... rest of the team is playing great except a few of ozzies touches!

Pleasantly surprised by Howard... Besic putting in a great shift as usual, Barkley looking like he's having a good day now to give Lukaku some service... we CAN do this! COYB!

Ye of little faith... That's only 3 points mate and I van see a few of the top 8 dropping right down the table still plenty of potential this season!

I sincerely hope it is Joel he looks so much more confident between the sticks... The defence seem alot more comfortable when he is behind them and I am not filled with fear when a team gets in our final third... Martinez surely can't be that blind to pick Howard after this lads performance on Wednesday...

The fact of the matter is that this season is wide open anyone can still finish anywhere we are 9 points from 4th and 10 from the relegation zone... A few games can make a huge difference so I believe we are still in with a good chance of European football and even Champions League if we start stringing some wins together... This is the best team we have had in many years and if last night was anything to go off the rest of this season could be something special!

I feel like i watched a completely different team out there tonight... attacked well defended well and closed out a game Besic was great Lukaku was great Baines was great... just the away game now coyb!!!

just don't turn the heat off next half! congrats on that bet man...

Besic is taking the piss out of these here!

It's apparently him looking for someone to take him on because he has been replaced by the 16 year old there... Personally I've always thought he was a decent keeper and 34 isn't that old as far as goalkeepers go... Anyone to replace Lead legs but I do believe Robles needs a run in the prem

If Martinez has any sense about him which we know that he doesn't Robles should get the start due to his performances so far in the cup he has shown himself to be a more than competent man between the sticks... If nothing else at least he has words with his defence and isn't glued to his line the second a cross comes in.
