Naismith 3 year extention

[Bally1960]

3 games since Naismith has been dropping from the starting XI
3 wins

Sadly the fans could have saw this month's back but martinez wouldn't drop him

 

[Clint Planet]

Thought he looked okay today. Hungry, like. Kone makes me want to weep.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Really messes with my brain because he does 80% of the things right and then hoses it up with the other 20%...

Yeah sure because the 3 wins are all down to the fact that Naismith didn't start? He still offers considerably more at centre forward than Kone

 

[Walken]

awful as always

He's a squad player, it's as simple as that. Players like Steven Naismith do not get you into the top 4, if Martinez had of realised this way back in August then maybe we'd be in a different position now.

So we would be top 4 this season if Naismith hadn't been in the team? he is our 2nd top scorer this season remember

This thread stinks of confirmation bias! It's all been Naismith's fault lol

Mirallas is our 2nd top scorer.

Mirallas is our 2nd top scorer.

I stand corrected! Naismith is 2nd highest in the PL still, although Kev probably would be if he got more game time to be fair. It all kinda went tits up for him though after the penalty incident

I said maybe we would be in a different position, I never said we'd definitely be top 4.

If you think that Naismith as a starter is the right way to crack the top 4, then that is your opinion.

 

[MartSlinger]

Dont think we should be looking to get rid of him, he's a really good squad player. If we are wanting to get to that next level we need better than Naismith starting every week.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

We'd probably be challenging for the title if Martinez hadn't made him a starter.

Nah I think he should have been rotated more this season, there was a spell where he was playing every minute of every game, mostly out of position as well. It was getting a bit ridiculous, manager's fault though. Lukaku is obviously first choice striker but if he plays two up, or Rom is unavailable then I'd have Naismith over Kone. He offers much more to the team imo

which was another failure in management

Got the touch of a new born baby elephant. Should be back up at best next season or preferably sold if someone would pay money
