you know some were seriously suggesting Pantililer as a replacement/improvement on Howard?

Got to admit when he went to Sunderland on a free I thought we had let one slip their but he has been pants as of late, still think Howard's replacement is a priority.

Even against this utter crap he looked dodgy.(n)
 

Kone is the obvious one and the one we are happy for. But for me, I thought that Lukaku played an outstanding game and literally laid it on a plate for Kone, an exceptional game..........
 

My ratings (not that they count for much):

Howard - 7 - Made some good saves throughout, and wasn't at fault for either goal.
Coleman - 7 - Got forward really well and looked back to his normal self.
Stones - 6 - Slack for their first goal, but looked more composed after the interval.
Funes-Mori - 6 - Another solid performance - but Fletcher easily got the better of him for his goal. Improving all the time though, looks a player.
Oviedo - 6 - Really bright and made a superb tackle. Such a shame he got injured - hopefully it isn't serious.
Barry - 8 - Best performance of the season from him - did the armband proud. Dropped deep to help out defence and controlled our play. For all his critics, when he's on-song, we look a totally different team.
McCarthy - 7 - His best performance of the season, I think. Great pass for Kone's second goal and really dominated their midfield.
Deulofeu - 9 - Well-taken goal and two superb assists. Shame about the dive but he really showed what he can do against the poorer sides. Now he needs to kick on and do it against the big-boys as well.
Barkley - 7 - Relatively quiet in the first half but in the second dictated our play without ever really breaking sweat.
Kone - 9 - Three superb finishes from him - delighted to see it. His link up play, especially with Rom, was first-class.
Lukaku - 9 - His general hold-up play was brilliant. Got into the box at crosses and would have headed home if Coates hadn't have got there first! Great finish for his goal and that cross for Kone was immense.

Galloway - 6 - Should have won an easy ball in the build-up to their first, and was a bit sloppier in possession than normal. Still, a solid performance from him.
Mirallas - 6 - Came on and you could see he was really giving his all to get a goal, and perhaps wasn't selfish enough at times! Really unlucky with that effort he made for himself late on.
Osman - 5 - N/A

Martinez - 8 - Got his tactics spot on in regards to his team selection. Good to see he was annoyed about the defending as well, especially given his 'don't care if we concede first' comments.
