Flip it. Would you not scream "thats a penalty" if that were Lukaku? Blame the FA they dont want to introduce replays or have the ref's answer questions.But he cost us a point today.
At least.

I was saying that at the time. That type of mentality may not have seen us end up with all 3 points but it would surely have prevented us losing the game.Can't believe at 3-2 Geri's taken a knock and still hobbling back to the centre circle. FFS go down, get the trainer on and kill a couple of minutes time. We never do it. Every other team in the league does it.
Live in Aus.... What did he say?
We seemingly just don't learn from our errors,we keep on making them and then again,I can guarantee you I wasn't the only blue in the ground today who felt at 3-2 up we needed another goal to at least get a point out of the game,it's absolutely ridiculous,to be scoring three goals home and away and drawing/losing games is criminal.
Not replacing kone with besic cost us points today, blaming the ref. is clutching at strawsBut he cost us a point today.

The major frustration for me is this, 95% of our all round play today was excellent. Unfortunately the 5% of schoolboy errors we commit is costing us big time. At 3-2 I had little confidence we would see it out, I doubt even Aston Villa could have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in such style. Einsteins theory of madness is someone who does the same thing over and over again but expects different results. Koff Bobby ( for now ).
It's not rocket science, 3-2 up at home with ten minutes to go, with the personnel available to bring Stoke on and hit them on the break. I'm all for playing open expansive football when we're trying to gain supremacy, but we had it in the bag ffs.You use the same logic as I have in previous posts - particularly the Einstein definition. I am rapidly losing faith in Martinez when he absolutely fails to deal with a serious and repeated goal haemorrhage which is destroying our season.

Seems to me he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't as far as some people are concerned.
For years we complained about Moyes "nicking a goal" then shutting up shop with a "what we have we hold" policy.
We saw it backfire on many occasions when teams equalised late against us as we sat back protecting a lead...away to Reading in his last season springs to mind....home and away to Norwich that same season.
Most spectacularly we saw it at Wembley against the RS in the 2012 semi final......when we had them on the ropes at half time but Moyes surrendered the wide open spaces of Wembley for them to attack us when he decided to close the game down and Suarez ran us ragged.
And yet Moyes is being lauded on here as some sort of guru in the art of closing out games.
Nowt wrong with charging to the sound of the bugles when we are on the front foot.
Nowt wrong at all.
And if the players "have no confidence" in seeing a game out then happen they should look at themselves and give their heads a wobble.
(They have no such problems anyway......they kicked on against Chelsea and Saints among others with great success)
I'm sat here in NZ in a kind of daze...only Everton I guess
