Garbutt and Kone mate.

Balls deep that

 

[EFCNIK]

Showing your naivety again, NIK.

Striker has no service. Doesn't score. Must be because he's utter tripe. LOL.

He can't trap a ball.

I'm well aware we've been gash all over and of course his goalscoring will suffer because of that, but I can't see him doing the simple things right so I'll deduce that he's been crap.

 

[bluemangroup]

Last throw of the dice this

No its not.

 

[Furey1878]

Lads, don't worry. Raiders of the Lost Ark is on BBC One, so when we all inevitably turn off this match in rage at least there's something decent on.

 

[Del]

If bleach did team selections

 

[RFUS]

To be fair to Bobby, we have another game in a few days. Rotation is necessary and with injuries that means we were always going to have an odd team.

However there are still a few justifiably raised eyebrows. Hopefully he knows what he's doing, but the pattern this season would suggest he doesn't have a clue.

 

[Prevenger17]

Reached midnight before a ball has been kicked, impressive stuff.

Rage quit ?

@GrandOldTeam should initiate a leavers penalty to those doing that.

Ban for 1 hour.

 

[Del]

No its not.

Papers putting stories out that he's under pressure

Kenwright will be watching today ready to pull the plug on this fraud

 

[edge]

A lot of it he never had a choice. Howard, jags, stones injured, naismith suspended.

People still fume

we havnt kicked a ball yet, might work you never know, glad he has had ago anyway

 

[Khalekan]

I fumed when I first saw the starting XI but the team has balance, it has width and with injuries and suspensions it's possibly the best available team. I'm expecting a better performance today. It couldn't get any worse, could it?

Yes, I am warming to it now.

I can't wait to see Kone and Eto'o together.

The former's pace may well benefit from the latter's guile.

 

[lungo]

Loving the changes. Barkley especially didn't deserve to start today.

yep was our worst player against southampton and did nothing against stoke. To drop him and lukaku is a good thing. Cd defense with alcatraz and distin thats desperate stuff

 

[Azza]

Re the changes.

There's a big difference between playing Barkley, Osman, Naismith etc in the wide positions when there are Pienaar, Oviedo, McGeady etc available to sticking Baines in midfield / out wide, keeping Barry in the starting XI when he's been largely awful since he got injured.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Dropping the 'name' players in a crisis is often a sign of a manager who has lost the dressing room and knows he's operating in the last chance saloon. Which let's face it is exactly where Martinez is.
