Shukes

But we're not going are we.

He deserves his place no doubt. And even I have warmed to him recently. I feel more confident with him in goal than steks. I'm not blaming him for any of the goals conceded. I just haven't saw him have one of those matches yet. Most of the votes for MoM have been due to the rest of the team being so bad rather than him so good. Saturday is typical of this. They had three shots on target, One header straight at him. One blocked. And an excellent stop to earn us a point. His kicking was woeful, but I blame the team for sitting so deep for that. He also had a few nerdy punches out to the edge of our area. Yet he gets MoM! Was there anyone that deserves it more? No, we were awful second half. He is proving that he is a solid keeper, I'm just not sure he is a top six keeper.

Haha he was. But for pure effort!

Don't start on the Straq mate.... just don't!

Is our current optimism just down to Koeman?, or did Martinez have anything to do with it? Lukaku...ahem...?

Agree totally mate. Their keeper wa the best performer on the pitch and actually for MoM officially. But on our forums our keeper got MoM, although there were only two saves. Yet our defence we're apparently dire? Personally I think it's more our opponents were bad. Someone put Robles stats up recently, and it proved that our defence restricts shots against. So is our clean sheets down to the keeper or the defence? Against Bournemouth, we had shots against and conceded 3, the first a simple tap past the keeper on his knees....a criticism of Howard. But Robles was commented that he didn't stand a chance? He didn't even spread. Look, I get that people rate him, and even I can see he is better than I thought, but he is not good enough for the top four...... simple as that! Any offers? Any at all? Edit: I mean any offers to steal him away.

Your right to be fair. Their finishing was terrible. But it shows just how bad we were that we play against such a dire attacking team.... and our goals gets MoM!

Everton 6-0 Sunderland Lukaku. Haha some big scoring matches being predicted against our old boys. They will want to fight for this.

Where was Mirralas, injured? Missed him today, he was what was needed in the second half.

Half each mate. They didn't have a single shot first half, defence needs credit for that. That save in the second half was a point on its own. We would have lost that.

More for me. Still think we need more quality at first choice. But I do admit he has had a few games that have made me think. Today is nothing to talk about though as they had a keeper that saved a few one on ones too. Happy to be proved wrong though and if he keeps it up he will have that game when he faces pressure.... if he responds well then I'll gladly take myself to the vault and lock me up!

Lookman for me, had a great first half and looked out most likely to score. Ross had a good game too. No one else really did much.

He should be, we snatched a point there. They were the better team today.

Great save Robles. Given is a chance.

Terrible showing this second half.

Utd 2 up as well. Not going well today.

What a ball barkley. Unlucky from Lookman.

Good stop Baines. We're lucky to be still in this second half.

Gana has been caught in possession an at least five times so far, he also set them up for there best chance in the first half. But he seems to have woken up a bit in the second half. And agreed, Davies seems to have slowed down after an excellent first half.

Ye Gana has been very weak in possession today. Seems to have given it away several times. Lucky there. That's three efforts in five minutes for them.

Damn our bench looks ...uninspiring.

What a tackle from Coleman. Great chance there for Rom. Good save.

Lucky there, defence were in no mans land.

So exciting to watch. He looks strong for such a slight player.

Hopefully that little bit of play without the slip will get him in the game.
