Thought he was better today mate,just think he's had a mistake in him most games for the majority of the season.

Disagree mate. For the most part this season he's been quality for me. I feel more like that about Distin.

You must get scared though? I know we only conceded late on but for the whole game our defence just looks mad.Jagielka and Distin just swing at the ball

I think our defence was actually very solid for the most part today. Distin always has me nervous when he's on the ball though.

One of our better players IMO wish he was ten years younger.

You must get scared when it goes back to Howard constantly? One day I'm expecting him to just slice it into his own goal.

Same mate. He's a brilliant defender, he just always has me on edge when he's on the ball. A bit unfairly really because he doesn't really make that many mistakes.

He's immense especially when you consider he's 36,I know what you mean,I felt that way when we signed Richard Gough!!

We'll beat Arsenal.

You should have a bet 4/1 you can get

But on the other hand don't as we won't, an you can quote me on that

negative lad. We can beat them. If we score 2 or more goals vs WHU then I'm 70% certain we will get a draw/win.

Chins up all. Boss Barkley will get through this dip with positive bobby behind him. We should all be as calm as possible with the squad. This season was always gonna be a learning curve.

The cup is still alive…

 

[evertony]

Hope you're right mate.

Why 'hope'?

Surely you can see that the football under Martinez is more attractive to watch, and will ultimately be more successful than the 'don't lose at all costs' approach under the previous incumbent?

Without hope we are nothing.

But I stand by my original point earlier. No point playing all this lovely togger if it's not winning games.

Hi everyone.

Had time to calm down after a frustrating day.

Just got back now and I'm exhausted so i'll keep my post short. I wanted to actually start on a positive note on how good the atmosphere in the away end was today, I was in the lower tier and it felt like we were singing for 90 minutes In comparison to Chelsea fans who were quiet all game and the only song I heard them sing was 'Come on Chelsea...'.

First of all a comment on the line-up, when I saw Traore I was pleased as he would have been confident going into the game and he could of had a good 60 minutes with Naismith A.K.A The Super Sub coming on and giving us a push to hopefully win the game. On the flip side, seeing Osman in a central role and playing was quite disappointing as we are far too slow with him and Pienaar both playing and I'd have preferred to see McGeady/Deulofeu and Mirallas on the wings and Pienaar in a more central role but Roberto knows best, eh?

The first half seemed to be quite alike to Spurs and Arsenal where we basically dominated the game apart from brief spells and never took our chances which was frustrating to me and my mates and a few of the lads around me. I thought McCarthy was fantastic in the whole game but first half especially, he was chasing around for everything and really showed desire. If we would have took one of them chances we had 1st half like Mirallas' shot, a header we had from Jags I think or Osman's shot then I think we would have went on the win the game as Chelsea were very lacklustre and were there for the taking.

I was surprised to see no subs at the beginning of the 2nd half as I thought we might have needed to freshen things up and try and really push for that first goal. The majority of this half was quite even and we definitely matched them and it was disappointing to see how bad our final ball was. We brought on Ross and I was like what has happened to this guy, earlier in the season he was so confident and running at people. Today he looked low on confidence, weak and seemed to take too many touched and If some of his passes were better I think some chances could have been created.

Goodnight lads, onto West Ham and Arsenal and I think with the addition of Romelu we could get a result at the Emirates.

we sign one unfit striker and now a new loanee who has hamstring trouble we have to leaern from this we let 2 better strikers move on!

Tell me you're not meaning Victor? Please, tell me you're not.....
