Arouna Kone

I don't think people saw the same game as me, he was very good at getting on the ball, holding it up and playing Lukaku and others in towards goal. Watch the highlights and you'll see what I mean, happened on several occasions.

Not to mention how much more comfortable he makes me feel when the opposition takes corners.

Got a feeling when Funes Mori plays we will look pretty solid against set pieces as well mate, bloke looks very very aggressive and good in the air which is something we lack

For the past two games now, he's been better than Lukaku. Going to be a really useful player for us this season, and I am so happy to be eating my slice of humble pie.

I've had a piece of that as well, just hope it continues. He still p's me off at times when he ignores Coleman's runs into the area, hopefully that understanding will evolve at least now he is trying in a more constructive fashion rather than looking for somewhere to hide

Anyone else think we may have started working on defending set pieces in training finally, was a marked difference yesterday to the way we've defended them for a season+

Was good to see, now just need to keep that up and also work on our own corners - they were truly dreadful.

Big fan of his reaction to Naismith's 3rd
Most relaxed celebration of all time

Same as Naismith, he's making a lot of you look like tits.

Well in Arouna.

Phenomenal player, highly underrated on fan's forums

agreed

 

[mkrudden]

He's doing the Pienaar "role" at the moment, taking the ball high up the pitch under pressure, allowing midfielders to get up with him and then giving it them.

Inspired stuff from Martinez to resurrect him, and credit to Kone for showing his value.

Truly is like a new player.

If someone told me 12 months ago that Kone would be playing on the right and keeping mirallas and deulofeu on the bench I would have thought they were mental!

He done his trademark slutdrop to celebrate.

A bit harsh you can't see what his hands are doing - a cut off of the top of his head - he could have been doing anything from below his forehead!lol
