Nah. Well, for the players on the field who started, perhaps. But the manager, are we counting him as being unlucky? I hope not.

Aroune Kone being given minutes? Deulofeu - fully fit - was sat on the bench and was only brought on 15 minutes later! And to bring off Lennon, who still looked fresh and was our best player! Cleverley was turd and played the full 90, somehow!

Then Leon Osman, wheeling him out of retirement when, again, a fully fit Mirallas is sat there waiting.

Get rid of the waste of space Martinez, abysmal.

Leicester - Stoke - Swansea - West Brom.

You're an idiot. Clev was the first sub. Moron.
 

Wtf. I can't believe that. I only saw the second half, but how did we not at least get a point out of that? 76% possession. Wtf. I can't criticise our lads on the strength of what i saw. That was total domination, with nothing to show for it. I don't think Kone cuts the mustard though, strong but not clever enough to make the right decisions. I guess a good run of goals for the guy could change that, but he's had his chances and surely has to be third choice striker now. Bring on Niasse. If i'm going to be picky on our performance it has to be the dead ball situations: the deliveries are very mediocre, we really miss Pienaar and Bainesey. Note to Roberto: never let a Pulis team get ahead in a game. Wtf.
 

Few things learned from that game. We haven't got the nous to break down a parked bus. Jagielka should never be involved in build up play if he carries on wearing steel toe capped boots. Kone is nowhere near good enough. Bobby shouldn't be afraid of hooking Lukaku when he offers nothing. We shouldn't sub our most dangerous player with like to like, we should add danger to danger. Display wasn't too bad its just that we didn't know what to do. Very disappointed overall with result but extremely disappointed in no show Lukaku.
 

Same story as when we played them last year. Every man behind the ball, we couldn't break them down, we all knew it was gonna be exactly the same. Well, all except one. When Kone is your hope to change a game then you deserve no better.
 
Pfft I watched the first half and was thoroughly confident that we'd turn it round. Went out for a while, came back with about ten minutes left and saw Kone and Osman on the field. Utterly baffling changes
 
Not said this before but i have lost total faith in Martinez now......at home we are slow and ponderous, cant defend and seem to be every teams away day dream.

but i bet Martinez says it was a phenomenal performance with incredible character like a man who think ignorance about how bad we are is bliss

Martinez out !!!!!!
