Was barry playing in the second half??,didnt hear his name once.

Centre halves have been appalling admittedly. But McCarthy and Barry should not avoid criticism, McCarthy in particular badly at fault for a couple of the goals .

 

[marnie]

games like this totally pass Gareth Barry by. He has started the season badly and we have zero cover in front of our defenders even though we are playing to holders ?????.Super kev and naisey though wow.

In the same game last season he was MOTM.

 

[USABlue]

Spot on that. Concerning defending but it won't be put up against many better attacks than that.

Agreed but we looked poor at the back vs Celta (know it was preseason), Leicester, and the end of the Arsenal game as well.

Everyone log off. Go and have a pint.

This wank today isnt worth discussing.

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

Livid after that. Can't get my head over Jag's face in the tunnel before the game. Looked like he was literally about to [Poor language removed] himself.......and he did.

You're meant to be the captain mate.

 

[TheGeeseofGoodisonRoad]

God, we're worse of than United right now.

 

[Blue Cheese]

How is Martinez to blame for comical defenders who have over 20years experience between them. Suppose the manager is to blame for us letting in 2 goals within 3 minutes as well. Jags n Distin were a joke today the blame lays firmly at their feet.

He picks the team and sets the tactics. That is why.

Saw that. He looked nervous.

 

[Toffeelover]

Wonder what excuse Roberto is going to come out with for this inept defending.

 

[Steve Wigan]

There are positives. Eto'o looked a class above ..good goal and the weighted pass to Lukaku was sublime. We will score a lot of goals against someone, and will recover the goal difference. Mirallas excellent. Lukaku not yet fit. For twenty minutes in the second half and a lot of the first half we looked the better team against the probable Champions. Naismith was still running a tackling hard at the end when a few(on both sides) were dead on their feet. Never seen John Terry look so knackered.

what a difference a season makes.

 

[EverBlue86]

We certainly need another CB,

Although we were missing barkley, pienaar and atsu 3 attacking players it's a decent attacking performance I think it's why Mccarthy was knackered as due to Naismith not being quick enough he had to come forward more to keep the attack going.

End of the day once again the CB's cocked up right from the start and we was chasing the game. Absolute joke those pair are

 

[Huyton Layne]

It does not matter how they were scored they still count.

Of course the fkin do you bellend.
The point being that all their goals were stoppable. Nothing like the Van Persie outstretched top binner from the other year.
