Arouna Kone

I reckon it would be sound if he was our 2nd/3rd choice striker. But not out starting left mid.

Absolutely - bring him on if we need to rest Rom or if we are chasing a game and need to go 4-4-2 maybe but he shouldn't be near that starting line up and especially on the left. His inclusion puts entire team at risk

I reckon if we boo him more n moan at him more n groan for every slight mistake he makes he will gain loads of confidence and want the ball alot more and become world class!!!

Keeps hold of possession well, but that's all he has. Not sure if that's enough by itself to warrant a start.

 

[Darkhorse]

Gotten to the point where its so mind boggling that hes still starting (let alone playing) that its actually pretty funny, I have a laugh every time I see him on the starting sheet, and have a laugh every time he goes near the ball straight before losing it.

Besic in, Kone out, Cleverley to the left. If RM wanted to like actually win games and stuff you'd probably do that, but i'm not sure what RMs intentions actually are in terms of team selection. Maybe he selects the team on who has the nicest manners

So the insinuation is that Kone is primarily to blame for a team that is shipping 22 goals in 16 games.

You've got a sinister agenda here - all white defense, choose to criticise Kone.

It's really sad to see.

Give it a rest mate.

We've warned you before about this Friend, no racism on here pls

... I've warned you about this. An unwarranted accusation of racism is racism in itself. Whose to say i'm not of colour. You may as well keep yapping though because its clear you have nothing better to offer.

If Mirallas had put in any of Kone's recent performances we wouldn't be seeing him for 2 months.

He had a decent spell and looked good against two of the worst teams in the league, needs to be benched now.

 

[royvernon39]

The Kone had a bad game.

What is the point of keeping Miralles? He needs lots of time to get into match-fitness but is given no opportunity
and in any case like Darkhorse I would play Cleveley on the left.

Flog Miralles and Naismith and buy that bloke from Kiev and increase the quality.

Everyone is 'of colour'. Check the paint charts at B&Q.

Sheva?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Absolute dog dirt yet again. What's happened to him since his hat trick? In fact, since we scored 10 in those two home games we've been a laughing stock from front to back,Lukaku aside of course.

 

[Zatara]

Whilst he was awful today and he really was, it's not entirely his fault. He isn't a winger and he's being shoehorned into the team on that left side because the manager is too stubborn to drop him. He was constantly wondering into he centre of the park leaving Baines exposed against two Spurs players and when Baines did get forward looking to attack he had no assistance because Kone has gone walkabouts.
That left side has been our best weapon the last 5 years but Baines threat is wasted now because Kone is not good enough or smart enough to link up with him. We either play him as a striker or not at all.

Thats just how mirallas was played the other week as well i think martinez isnt bothering with a LW because he knows they wont track back...or something. Bizarre

I can tell you there are quite a few out there. You may ask orly, the guy called me Mao two or three times without knowing me in person. Oh maybe he was joking and had a sense of humour maybe not. However, I take that name as a negative term. It's like when you see a German poster you call him Hilter in this forum. It's actually offensive and not funny, at all.
