Still wouldn't swap Rom for anyone other than Aguerro though....even then I would think twice. Like Newty, I'm not diluting Roms achievments at all, just dispelling the no chance theory. He can only get EVEN better.

Phenomenal post!

If you don't get any chances your shot accuracy is 100% Not arguing, just pointing out that he has a hat full of goals this season with only 57% shot accuracy, suggesting that he must be getting the chances. Not saying that they are all created for him either. But shot accuracy doesn't include chances made for you that you didn't manage to get an effort off. Compared to most teams in the league we actually have a high chances per game stat.

His shot accuracy of 58% says that he is getting chances.

Fair play to Barry as he didn't have to do that. He has put a statement out saying Costa didn't bite him. Well done sir.

Lukaku. Not just his goals but also his hold up play. Showed real strength today and what a goal.

Everton 2-0 arsenal Barkley.

Wow nothing else.

Maybe he IS the type we need. Will he interesting to see how he responds to last week.

Agreed. You need winners in the team..people that believe others don't have the right to be on the same pitch as them. We want players that can fight when the game isn't going thier way.

Also shows that Bill has the club's future at his heart and not just a payday for himself. I just want to see what we do in the summer. A couple of top quality signings would show were serious about climbing back to the top again.

Really like the way this guy sounds. Pretty excited for our future.

I challenge a man u fan to count how many times he gives the ball away in one match once....he counted seven in his own half. Ridiculously over rated. No one wants to admit it though as it would mean fergie got that one wrong.

Was thinking exactly the same thing.

I'm just picturing Stan Colymore running around in a blue too.

Is there anywhere I can go that doesn't discuss Martinez? Gets confusing with so many threads about him. Must be really popular ;-)

That's exactly my point. You don't play well for 78 minutes then stop because the manager told you to. You need to grow some balls and stand up for yourselves..not just roll over.

People would really go with thier ego rather than see our manager engineer a win over a very good Chelsea team to reach a semi final? I live on the wrong planet.

Without a doubt no. No no no. I love my team and never ever under any circumstances want to see them lose. I'm way to passionate about them

The point is though for 78 minutes we were good and they weren't really hurting us. The defense was Good! Be it us defending from midfield or from defense. We lost because we didn't have the stomach for a fight and because we didn't win our duels. Is this because the manager has trained it out of them or because individually they lost thier duels? Personally I think as characters, they weren't strong enough. Jags should he stronger in the air. Mori is capable of defending those headers. And Joel should be braver and dive at the ball.

I can't believe Niasse is so high haha. I know I know...give him time.

Barca have a few snide Players themselves. You need to believe you are better than everyone else to be at the top.

Arteta.... Technically gifted but always a fine line away from kicking someone. Dirty little player..but he was our dirty little player. We need a few of them.

Gibson, Howard and Kone. Great company there.

Yep a big please NO from me. Too old and we need to get away from buying players for experience. Rather have a young Vieira. Come on scouts get a move on.
