2017/18 Cuco Martina

[technojoe]

Man he was the pits at times today! Fall guy for this season.

 

[Kantareller]

Did some good things, did some bad things.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Did some good things, did some bad things.

Yep

 

[bitter-no-better]

He is not as bad as some make out and gave us a good outlet in the 2nd half. However I think Koeman will use him sparingly against the lesser teams as defensively he is poor.

 

[bizzaro]

For who to attack? If we had signed a Giroud-type I could maybe see it but with Sandro up front Martina is completely pointless, a right back/wing back who can't defend and crosses to no one.

 

[michaelh1990]

he put in a couple of decent crosses but he absolutely refuses to try and beat his man, as for defensively i havent really seen anything. Koeman should give Kenny a chance.

 

[windymiller]

Your usual well made point. Mert.

He is mate. He really is.

he is literally a cheap back up option, that would be third choice hopefully by next season.

its profoundly Everton that he is seen as a cheap back up option to someone who cost sixty grand, and whose leg was smashed by the only person to ever admit to coming from St Asaph

This.

Wasn't overly impressed, but we weren't great as a whole

 

[Joey66]

Joey can you deny that we looked better once he came on in the last 2 games?

he added balance Yes , but v a fast winger he cannot defend for toffee!

how do you back up a 60 grand player? Free of charge!

Martina is the only player i know of who is happy to be 3rd choice at any club rather than move to play every week. A whole year with 2 in front of him at southampton and he was happy enough to sit his contract out.

Kenny cost nothing and we would get something for him if we sold him, though. Martina is just an abyss of a footballer.

 

[Steve Holt]

I think he'll be crap if he starts every week but he did fine today. I don't see what the issue with him is.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

He's not really very good is he?
