2017/18 Cuco Martina

[technojoe]

Man how did he play 90mins! Total joke of a player.

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

To be fair he was our biggest attacking threat the whole game.

I'd play him as a winger instead of klassen.

 

[dublinbluenose]

This is Koeman's Alcaraz signing. As long as there are no more I'll forgive him. He's not up to it in the premier league.

Played on his own down the right.. our best player going forward which tells you everything. Rooney didn't help him out at all. Ignore the boo boys King Martina

 

[malmic]

2 of the goals were partly his fault. He is good going foward but what is the point if he is to blame for us suffering goals?

 

[Caolam]

He was our best attacker and we didn't score, he is meant to defend and we conceded 3, enough said.

 

[ilikecheese]

Best as a RWB in a back five. Too isolated defensively for a back four.

Those two goals were completely his fault. A competent right back plays and they don't happen.

His dancing on one leg when a player tries to dribble past him lollol
He stands ten yards off the winger or wing back?
Good going forwards that's it!
No one to cross to his best tackle almost a pen was in central defence - his header down to the Spurs player on the edge of the box we have seen before - he is a liability!

 

[Woolly Blue]

He was poor defensively, but who on earth was supposed to be helping him cover on the right hand side ?
If it was one of Gana, Morgan, Rooney then they never showed up to help out, and he very rarely had an out ball.

Seamus would have struggled defensively in that formation today. He'd have done a better job like, but it'd be wrong to put all our problems on the right hand side down to Martina.

We knew coleman was out till xmas. So why didn't we sign a top right back instead of doing it on the cheap. It was bound to fail and has. Just like it did with stek

spurs have two top class right backs for a reason.

Needed a defender who could, ya know, defend

 

[hktoffee]

Well he can cross a ball but he can't defend. He has his chances and should be dropped.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Needs booed out of the team. Make Koeman's mind up.

I didn't watch today's game Joey, (thank God!) but I note in the MOTM poll he rated quite highly. I guess the best way to describe the schism in opinion he effects, is to say he's a polarising figure..,.
