Just quick note on big rom. I like him sometimes but he is a long, long way off being this world class striker.
When he plays like he has the last two games he's great but too often he has been rubbish and that's being kind.
He has 8 league goals this season nowhere near a 20 goal a season striker which everyone is going on about. A 20 goal a season striker that is worth his salt is one that does it in the league.
Now here is the alarming part of big rom.
He is 7 behind Charlie Austin, 1 ahead of Peter Crouch and jonathan walters, 10 behind Diego Costa, 17th in the league goalscorers this season and
Wait for it.
On the same amount as
Nikica Jelavic.
{Ed025's Note - well when you put it like that john.. :)

Or put another way he has scored 17 goals in all comps this season. A season which has been desperately disappointing and service to him not been the best. So why don't you get behind this young lad ( 21 years of age), you never know he may just get us the goals that secure us a much overdue trophy.

I have been one of his biggest critics but I have to say the last two games he's been a different player. But that also really does my head in because he should be doing it every game! Yes maybe the service hasn't been great but he should be bullying defenders every week not just when he feels like it

With u on this stew not bin great in league but Europa very good it's bin tough for us fans at times but some fan behaviour has bin poor for me don't worry as I (predicted) :) weeks ago Martinez would come good for me to reach final and possibly win would be worth a poor league position biggest problem this season was not bringing in a top winger like to see atsu get a start think he has more to offer few additions in the summer and next season will much better a lot of people give kenwright stick he might not have the cash like others but for me I'm glad we have him and think he has done well not to act on managers position to quickly to many teams change management to often I for one don't want a revolving door at our club Martinez deserves another season and as much as many would like different ye all need to realise he will get it so let's get behind him rather than boo and jeer him at every chance

He's doing it now. Leave the guy alone. When he's been disappointing we've slated him. Now that he's being what we expect we should at least give him his dues. Slate him when he's poor and love him when he's boss. Let's be consistent as its what we expect from him after all
{Ed025's Note - thats a done deal for me ace..

Dont get me wrong stewillow I want him to be world class and you're right we need to back him and support him.
In return instead of bigging himself up let us do it when he performs week in week out.
With Everton he could do great things but 12 months after we spent 28 mil it seems he believes he is better than that and has grander plans.

If he got injured you would see how much we miss him!
