Does today answer your question?

Your suggestion is martinez bought a player solely to use against 4th division opposition?

should be starting more games

Good player that takes his defensive responsibilities with importance. Nice goal today he deserves it.

In some games he's a better option than Del. Gives us more energy with his closing down.

100%. When he closes he does it at pace and as much as I love Gerry he doesn't sulk and have to be withdrawn after missing a chance.

Great assist and a very good goal. His first touch with his left foot had to be perfect in that position. I'd like to see him get more minutes in the 2nd half of the season

Well at least someone is on my wavelength. Ridiculous decision to take off Deulofeu against City and replace him with Kone. We had nobody providing any supply and were constantly forced to defend.
So maybe you can help me out mate. Ill ask the original question again. Why did he buy Lennon?

So there would be enough depth in the squad for matches like the FA Cup. And so McGeady would never have to play for Everton again.

He allows Seamus to play his game, ought to play more just for that

Call me crazy but you take off a winger for a winger. Two strikers(if you consider Kone that) and nobody supplying any balls forward is pointless.
Manager has his fixations on players. Let's just leave it at that and move on.

I'm not even sure what you're arguing. If you're still hung up on Lennon not coming on against Man City, didn't that have more to do with changing the formation than any worries about depth charts? I mean, there's still plenty to criticize Martinez for there, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't really have anything to do with Lennon.

Did well today.

It's a very good feeling having options like him on the bench. A genuinely good player who offers something different.

Yes indeed. Made us click last year about this time. Always liked his attitude and desire. Pulls up his bootstraps and kicks on.
