Kone works better with lukkau then Naismith. Hopefully Martinez will start with the same line up against West ham.

I've always been a fan of Kone and have also said on more than one occasion that they should both start.
It's a good time to play West Ham. I have a feeling their wheels might start to fall off soon.

I reckon it's more to do with media duties than the language
The man is more personable and fluent in interviews than Ross ffs
Good ol' camel head
I can also confirm I beat a hammers fan online on Fifa 3-1 though it should have been 7 or 8 as I gave him a football lesson the school of science way.
I knew that would affect confidence which was proved right the following day when they lost 2-0 against Watford. Obviously still had my defeat fresh in their minds.
He'll start against West Ham, and probably be crap.
But nah I was thrilled for him yesterday. Looked so confident in front of goal and, against teams like Sunderland - who, let's be honest and witha ll due respect to Mackems on here - are dogger, then him and Rom really should start- as it gives us a whole other way of playing and their link-up play is top class.
I'd go the same team against West Ham - though probably with Galloway in for Oviedo - real shame he got injured.

Said in an interview that Rom is his best friend on and off the pitch.
Great stuff to hear as it really shows up on the pitch. Their partnership is just brilliant to watch. Neither is selfish and will create goals as well as finish them. Plus finding a way to support Rom and have another striker on the pitch (without having to sacrifice the midfield, i.e. with a 4-4-2) is something we've needed to do for a while. It's a tough balance to strike but Kone is showing he's willing to defend, he's willing to help his team and he's willing to burst a hole in the net, too.

My word. Some big posters up there on the wall, the sheer size of it. That's some industrial scale vaulting there mate.
Hat trick for Del seems a live possibility at some point too.

A journalist is claiming Kone was booed onto the pitch at Goodison when he came on versus Watford. I wasn't at the game. Is this true? I've read conflicting reports that he was met with silence or nervous applause.
Does anyone know?
Can't remember a player being booed onto the pitch before.

He started vs Watford [Edit] Vs Norwich. There was a bit of discontent in the stadium when he was replaced after an hour in. I wasn't at the game, so not 100% what at, but the commentator said it was at Kone, alleging for lack of effort and was critical of the lack of shift he put in.
