Sorry guys, I wasn't feeling lookman tonight. Won a lot of free kicks and corners from his play but nearly every decision he made (passing wise) was the wrong choice. Bags of talent but needs to learn a lot! Maybe this is why he hasn't been playing as often as we all thought he should have been.

I thought he was the one that woke us up after a slightly off first 5-10 mins. He was brilliant as far as I am concerned (sure its all relative, he has years of improving) . I mostly liked how physical and fearless he was. Some of his tackles were immense. He protected the ball pretty well and his pace is obvious. I wouldn't want to have to make the decision to loan him or not.

Sorry Blue disagree. Yes he did some good things. But generally I thought he was off his game. Maybe nerves got to him and he over thunked. I'm not sure. I was surprised he bought Mirallas off instead of him. You could see Mirallas was cheesed off too, the way he threw his arm band down. Best game so far this season and I'm pleased people are laying off Martina. I think he's played really well so far and yet fans are slating him. Good competition for Coleman.

He definitely looked like the crowd trouble got to him. He was quite nervous anyway, but after that, the poor lad rubbish himself! Don't forget he's only a kid and to be honest, he looked like he was playing more of the game that Koeman wants from him.

I'm with you Mowfee on every point. I think he was trying too hard and needs to be attacking the space not the man. He had a decent first half but should of went off midway through the second.

Lookman is a kid and your bringing him down for a few poxy mistakes.

he had a rare chance of 90 mins, and did a lot of good things but as some have said he I still young and learning, last night was great experience gained that he will only learn from.
On another note I though Baines had a really good game as well.

We're not bringing him down bluey, Just voicing our opinion. He's a professional footballer at the end of the day, obviously he has maturing and learning to do but we are just giving constructive criticism. If we thought the above then that's our opinion. Everybody's entitled to one. Good performance overall team wise.

We weren't bringing him down. Just saying he seemed off his game. Maybe down to nerves or whatever. If we were slating him. We'd be saying something like "what on earth was Koeman thinking playing him in such an important game" or "Lookman will be great competition over scrubbing the first team players boots" We did not.
