MOTM v Burnley

[steele]

Barry had a solid game , and had a good chance to score. Coleman/lennon ruled our right side all day

Gareth Barry for me, though Lennon had them petrified in the first half, but we didn't use him as much as I thought we would in the second half. I hoped Everton would go for the throat after the sending off, but we failed to capitalise on our extra man.

Lennon was involved in everything good we did in attack.

 

[Jxg]

13 points out of 15 with him starting

MIND = BLOWN

No, seriously, I'm utterly amazed at this.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

13 points out of 15 with him starting

Also without Naismith starting.

 

[Goat]

Also without Naismith starting.

Amazing what a bit of balance can do.

 

[sd_1992]

Also without Naismith starting.

But he runs really really hard... that is more important than actual footballing ability right?

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Amazing what a bit of balance can do.

Yeah I know. It's absolutely appalling that it took so long for Martinez to realise that Naismith and Barkley in the same team doesn't work. We look so much better with 2 actual wingers and as much as it nearly makes me vomit to say this but Osman is a much better option than either of those 2 on the wing.

 

[Goat]

I voted Besic, who just overshadowed the boy Lennon.

Special mention to young Ross and John Stones.

What's running hard look like?

 

[Rook]

Barry has been quite good ever since he's getting rest.

But the ref was MOM. Its been a while since we've gotten calls our way. We deserve it.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Lennon by a country mile. Barry, Jags also decent.

 

[Azza]

Lennon.

Watch Jordan Henderson. All he can do is run and thinks he's hard.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Watch Jordan Henderson. All he can do is run and thinks he's hard.

To paraphrase the best manager ever "he'll never be a top player because he runs funny".
