Can someone tell me why Martinez thinks Kone is worth a first team place?
Here are the facts, since Sunderland he's been shocking, he brings nothing but bad play, breaks down more of our attacks than any opposition defensive midfielder we've played this season.
Martinez has subbed him first every game bar one since Sunderland, so he drags him off because he's playing crap every week and then picks him to start the following game.
He leaves the Leftback exposed because he drifts inside, teams have been actively targeting our Leftback because of this, Stoke did it and got goals out of it, Spurs were doing it on Sunday.
Can you imagine the return we'd have got out of Mirallas if he was allowed half a dozen games to play his way into form, Mirallas or Lennon on that left side would improve us without doubt, 10 fold.
Kone brings nothing but problems to this team and the only person who seems not to see this is Martinez.
