Ye your right. I'm just so deflated today.

I think I have finally gave up with Roberto. I have stood by him and supported him through it all and now, even I have to admit that I just can't see him changing anything.

You should be able to get even average players to lift themselves and fight for the cause.

Really harsh to blame Joel for that.

Watch it again and watch his reaction to where the ball heads.

It heads straight for his feet, and he basically stumbles it in.

Would you say it was unsavable?

Was a bad attempt by Martial but he got lucky. All the goal to aim for and still hits the keeper....much like the lad for Leicester.... But of course that one was saves.

Maybe I am being a bit harsh, but I am sick of conceding to the only shot on target.

Sorry there was a tame pass back that was saved I think.

I think this thread is 50/50 to be honest.

He gets just as much praise as he does criticism.

There a few that defend him vehemently.

And there are also a few that are overly harsh on him. All have valid points and it's an interesting thread to read.

Lukaku would do well to read this himself, he could improve many aspects of his game and character.

He is a 22 year old kid at the end of the day and that's what is evident when he opens his mouth.

One thing I can be certain of....he will improve his character and his game....he will..simple.

Put Kone back alongside him and see what happens.

His career depends on buying a goalkeeper.

Watching that goal again is embarrassing.

Coleman should have just tapped it behind for a corner.

Robles...I know I don't rate him but come on....balls hit straight at his feet and it still goes in.

I know I am going to get flamed for this but for God's sake RM...put Tim back in goals.

Robles just doesn't save anything.

Martinez gonna get pulled apart here but it's Colemans error that cost us today.

Not happy with Barkley. Lazy today

True, but what did Martinez do to get us back in the game?

That's where his criticism is justified.

Lennon for me. Non stop effort and and was a real pain all afternoon. Wish we had more like him in the team.

Albrighton for Leicester does the same.

Yep Niasse is a bit of an embarrassing signing isn't he. Fitness is one thing but u fortunately the lad looks like he is a few leagues ahead of where he should be.

I have to agree this time.

The team is actually having a real go here, but the manager is doing nothing to help change it.

Good tackle McCarthy. Would have been 5 on 0 then.

Another woeful half of football. Haven't post on here for a couple of weeks due to being Mr Nagative. Please tell me some of you deluded have changed your minds on Martinez ????????

I have about 1% positively left.

Come on RM make a change. Don't just let this one run away. Trying to keep the faith but getting nigh on impossible.

Ross? Get the ball in the box and shoot for a throw in. Come on surely!

That's it sell him.

Not sure why McCarthy and clev are on the pitch, they offer nothing

Because they have been decent today.

Let's be fair you have been trying to swing it since kick off haha, they haven't been bad at all.

Would still swap Cleverley for Besic though.

Gerry came of because he hasn't the legs for 90 mins. He is done after an hour.

We need players that cam put it in now.

Perception is a strange thing. Swedish commentators are saying that Lukaku has been a handful today. Bullying the CB's with his weight

Think he's been OK today. He has held the ball well at times. Has given Blind a torrid time without really creating much.

Kev on. Come on Kev, surely last chance to show you haven't lost it.

If ever we need some magic.

Get Ross off and get someone on who can be arsed. Need energy on the pitch, being on Besic.

So unlucky jags.

Same as usual. Shot on target and it's a goal. Not sure if were just unlucky or shit.

No I'm sure.

Barkleys body language looks too laid back for me though. So easy to jog past him.

Forwards dream to play against.

Great tackle Stones

He has Has a good half. One give away but overall I think he looked good.

Haha sorry.

Doesn't keep enough clean sheets so we should get rid.

I think they ate moving forward. Barkley is quietly becoming a very accomplished centre mid.

He isn't banging in Stormers every week but he is getting so much better at ball retention.

Pleased with him this season.

If he does go, let's go all out and get Vardy. After watching him today he looks like he is like having two players up there.

Really impressed with him.

Maybe this is why Belgium with all thier world class players are doing so well.
