Lukaku

[Duncan Disordely]

Jesus, that was a very frank interview. I hope Martinez doesn't drop him.

I was thinking I hope he doesn't get Garbutted

 

[Goat]

Ha Ha Ha.

So Martinez isn't the unthinking unblinking ideologue incapable of going with a Plan B then?

How will the plotters react to this?

Erm Dave, it wasnt his plan b, it was the players, you know, those people who you said didnt care.

Martinez being portrayed by his striker as a flexible team player rather than an aloof fanatic.

Bad news for the plotters there.

He will def have been given special permission to give that interview, no fear of retribution. Roberto couldn't really come out and say it himself and it's good to let Lukaku capitalise on media attention after a good game and important goal.

It's good, it shows that the team are still in a good working relationship with Martinez, that he's willing to give ground where necessary, and everyone is looking to work together to improve the results.

Edit: and dave you're still a fruitcake

Gee you can twist a story to suit your agenda.

Agreed. It looks like a set up interview to put a message across to the fans.

GERTCHA!!!

The lad played so well you can bank on him getting an injury on Saturday.

There's no other way of viewing this. The criticism of Martinez is that he's a zealot with tactics and remote from his players.

This interview suggests neither.

 

[LocalNative]

Was absolutely brilliant today. So good to see the ball sticking to his feet and his sheer desire to do well for this club.

 

[paulbefc]

The standard he's been at for the last two games is what will drag us back up into the top half. He's been superb.

Got to fancy him to score any time on tues.

 

[Toffeelover]

Luky was played today as he should be played, eh RM.

 

[raib]

He has always been quality, it's just we have not played to his strenghs.

 

[AlE]

Boss today. Had £32m Mangala (Lol) in his back pocket.

Just hope Martinez will help him out a bit more with his tactics from now on!

Nope. Same as usual. He's just been up for it these last two games.

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

Another great performance.
