Now, that is what one (in understated fashion) would describe as disappointing

 

[kenada_blue]

osman and distin are just not good enough

Add Jagielka in there too.

McCarthy needs benching.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

We are wigan mark two that was awful today

how many times you going to play that record...

 

[BlueShark]

Why are we suddenly gifting goals like some charity? Inexplicable.

 

[zirc]

I don't think we actually played that badly.

Me neither. On another day we convert more chances and don't concede two goals because of the keeper being on drugs, win 3-0 or 3-1.

Rather worrying that we keep playing well but fail to get 3 points though.

 

[maurice]

worst defence in the league, conceded 13 in 5 games, embarrassing.

 

[daz4matty]

When your keeper has a bad day at the office then yer

TBF to Martinez you can not account for that

You cant but he picked an unbalanced team with osman in it.
He tells them how to play and drills them and he has actully had money to spend and not even looked at the defence.

 

[EverBlue86]

Stones needs to be played CB

Jagielka and distin can never be played together

Howard needs a kick up his inflated ego arse

Martinez can GTF getting tired of him already this season clown team selections against the crap teams expecting just to turn up to win and constant supporting the lads at times you need to RIP INTO THEM bobby not "oh ah just enjoy it lads"

 

[flibbyflob]

Tbh I don't think the away thing matters right now (unless you mean with the travelling), Goodison is hardly a fortress currently

Travelling, obviously the trips to Liverpool and Man U are no problem distance wise but Krasnodar and Lille will be.

 

[Kiwi]

Its not even that the defence is bad. Its that we keep making stupid [Poor language removed] individual errors and it costs us EVERY SINGLE TIME.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

That wasn't Howard today, it was Robles with a fake beard.

 

[Prevenger17]

That was a great opportunity for us, but these basic errors are really piling up. I'm gutted. Going to let off some fume away from the internet before I type something I regret.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Should have won that. Created more chances and handed them 3 goals on a plate. Massive chance to get up on our rivals missed here and only ourselves to blame.

 

[MartSlinger]

- Liked the team, was definitely good enough to beat Palace, not going to blame Roberto for making changes, they're needed.
- Leon Osman and Sylvain Distin are finished as top level footballers, i want them gone next Summer.
- A proper backup RB is needed, John Stones is a frickin' centre back for crying out loud.
- Tim Howard back to his usual self today, brilliant showing on Thursday, decided to be a [Poor language removed] today.
- For half an hour i couldnt of been happier, controlled the play, Palace didnt get a sniff, then, they get a pen, why did heads go down? We had them, why not carry on the way we were before that? Ridiculous.
