Newcastle v Everton. 28th Dec at 16.15.

[Connor]

If you look at the three who were arsed, all of them are Martinez players in Alcaraz, Kone and to an extent McCarthy. Credit to Mirallas too.

I'd add Baines to that list as I saw him many times as our furthest player forward chasing the ball down.

I wish I knew what was going on with us at the minute, I really do.

Excellent observation. I think 'yes' is the answer.

Why thank you sir. I pride myself at my observational skills

When a team is in such a slump as we are then generally there is disharmony.
UTD last year, Spurs under AVB, Chlesea under AVB, Liverpool under Hodgson.

Have to agree, we've been terrible since those rumours that Distin has been told to do one popped up.

 

[Fuleco]

Worst we've played since boxing day.

Players v players, Manager v Players or both going on do you feel?

 

[AndyC]

I can't understand the reason for playing Baines on the left in midfield. Unless this is Long term option then why bother for one game.

Baines was moved forward for two reasons. 1 to allow Garbutt the start at LB and 2 because he will replace Pienaar as the left flank outlet for Garbutt. Pienaar is finished as an effective force and should be moved on as quickly as possible along with Gibson who offers nothing of a positive nature and is injury prone.

It will be both.

I sense it will be the Moyes Boys v everyone else.

 

[Dozbik]

Has anyone noticed that they don't even upload the post-match interviews? They are so embarassing that it's better to say nothing than talking such bilge...

 

[Del]

There's defo players in that side not giving it there all

Maybe players are fed up getting moved around out of postion, having the team changed every week so there's no consistency or the slow inept football we play

Sorry mate but the reason players are moved out of position or changed is because people are picking up injuries left right and centre.
The slow inept football is down to individuals.

i was talking to my lad about this a few hours ago, havnt heard anything but there deffo looks like there is something just not right at the moment, players not getting a look in, and a lack of spirit on the pitch like we are all in this together lets roll up are sleeves and even if its not going well we will work till we drop, its just not there at the moment and hasnt been for months.
You could take it as a blimp but we havnt played well all season and it half over now.

 

[Jags..class]

So who the players that fell out with Martinez and why, who the ring leader

 

[MartSlinger]

Gotta say though. The lads gotten unreal amounts of stick on here for the past year and a bit, but Kone was brilliant today, the only positive.

Was Baines brought into midfield due to injuries

What about eto on the wing or Barkley

How about Coleman at right mid
