We have been losing mate lol
....when we know it's not inevitable is when we have a team.
Have you not noticed Lukakus stuttered run up ever time waits for the keeper to move - well he threw his cap on that attempt today - Lukaku scored a great first goal made the 2 Nd - his passing overall today was wayward but you do not sub your most potent threat, or take your all over the place winger off either bad mistakes by RM in his subs yet again lmo!
....Lukaku is probably our most important player but it doesn't mean the coaches shouldn't tell him to put his foot through penalties. At the end of the day he's accountable.

I was initially very happy with his appointment, I thought he had an 'x factor'. Not many people pull the wool over my eyes, but he did.

Was mirallas's dive blatant?, worth a yellow?

He was really great with Porto and Inter. But with Chelsea and Madrid he just bought players for ridiculous amounts of money. And played really defensively most of the times. Guardiola f.e. also trained some of the most expensive and greatest players, but he actually made them play even better and more offensively than before.
I'm not saying I'd prefer Martinez or that we've had great managers. Just that I'm not a big fan of Mourinho and his style of playing, which is really defensively. (I wouldn't mind if he'd come to take the job of defense coach, but I doubt he'd do that)

Absolutely. The moment Lukaku missed the penalty I said to my son (at about 5am here in NZ!), "we're going to bottle this". He just replied "I know Dad"

I'm not turning yet mate because he shows great things that he can do - e.g. our attacking play, the tactics he showed in the first 75 today.
That's why I've been sticking by him and because since the turn of the year I think he's clearly looked to improve his weaknesses and make changes.
Today, he threw all that progress away with that sub and I won't defend him for that.
If we lose next week or against Arsenal, then I wouldn't be surprised he went, though I still don't think there is anyone currently available who would come in and definitely improve us.
As I said, it's not the defeat that's applied the pressure for me - it's the fact he brought it on us with that change after he had done so well in the first 75 mins.
My thought is still, see how the season ends and then reassess. If we go on a run that we looked to be building towards only to f up again, he gets more time (or if he wins the cup).
If not, he goes, and we move for another manager. My choice would still be Flores. Knows how to defend and wouldn't take away from our attacking qualities.
RM has set all the style and system in place though I am now starting to question if he is the man to see it through as this defeat feels like a huge step backwards considering how it happened.
Lukaku should have scored. Dreadful penalty and that would have wrapped it up.
Martinez then messed up with the sub.

Too much of a 'cool' thing to blame Martinez for me. Lennon was shaterred and as put 'running on empty'... Can't argue with any of the subs really.
Yeah Lukaku should have scored but everybody was absolute knackered come 80 minutes, no thanks to Mirallas.
