2017/18 Cuco Martina

[McBain]

He is better than Baines and LB isn't even his position.

Martina just gets used as a scapegoat that's all.

Schneiderlin, Keane etc are far worse

Baines is terrible these days mate

I concede he hasn't been great, as the bar he set was so high and the club have literally dropped the ball in replacing him.

If we'd have got someone to deputize and take over in the last couple of years, he wouldn't have been hung out to dry.

But if Cuco is the answer then the question is a bad one.

I just think considering the dirge we have in the squad, Martina is not one of our biggest worries.

Do we need an upgrade? Absolutely. But there are other pressing matters with the squad to deal with first imo, such as CB.

I think LB is absolutely crucial. You see the difference Coleman makes. I even think it's the root of all our problems. It has put pressure on the rest of the team, left a big hole on one side of the pitch (both with Coleman out) and left us unbalanced and on the back foot from the get-go.

Martina will deal with Gerard today hopefully and we'll see Del subbed off around 65mins..

Yada yada, in truth he's just the scapegoat and he's actually been decent all things considered.

Being better than Baines at this moment in time means nothing we need two new left backs

Terrible is going too far I reckon.
