Hey guys, just wanted to say it's hard to badly criticise an attacking player in a game where we were down to 10 men, it's one less man for support and at one point our only attackers were Rom and Barkley. I know neither had an amazing game but, don't start saying they aren't doing enough based on that game. When you go down to 10 men it's really the defense you should be analysing. :)

I agree but still add that one of thereasons we are struggling is because we rely on these 2 for our attacking play. Our other midfielders contribute little in attacking play even when we have 11 on the pitch. Lennon, Deleufeu and Mirallas add a bit but rarely play and get subbed. Barry, McCarthy, Cleverly and Besic hardly ever make an assist or score and are the backbone of the team.

And yet we have scored the fifth highest amounts of goals in the epl Degsy with only the top four scoring more. So what difference is it going to make if they get a couple. It's the goals against that is the problem with the team!

Amazing, up until recently we were scoring for fun but conceding loads so everyone critised Martinez, so he plays more defensively to stop conceding and hence we are not scoring as much and he is getting critized, what exactly do people want?!

Sid, we just want the manager to do a proper job with the talented squad he has at his disposal. He is out of his depth in this league (just reference his last two seasons at Wigan and our last two seasons) and is not the man to take us forward. We need a new man in charge.
