Yeah but someone always gets beat for a goal, otherwise it wouldn't happen, why pick on only the third?

Well...if I'm honest I missed the second. Seemed quite soft from what I read. Didn't see the marking. The first was a bit of a fluke. I only pick the third, because it was Cameron Jerome...he's Altidore gash.

Thought he was good today defo good beat for the third ..think likes of Gerard and mcgeedy need to be brought up instead of young stonesy

Was one of the only positives tonight. Love to see him stride past the half way line, is right Stonesy!

19 years old. **** me.

jagielka isnt fit to lace the lads boots, a decent defender, but stones is an uber footballer

Stones will be a top player but in the meantime, we need our captain back after today's awful result.

I would drop Distin before before Stones

He reminds me of that German bloke... Beckenbauer I think was his handle. And given that Stones was a Barnsley kid, we should nickname him The Barnsley Beckenbauer. I am surprised that I am the first person to come up with this!! lol

I love him

He made the mistake for the 3rd goal. Didn't stay close enough to him.
Gave a lot of sloppy long passes - central defenders don't need to play long balls under Martinez's system.

He needs to keep it simple

Unlucky for their third goal tbh, wont put the blame on him, if you see it again, you see him slip a little which gives Jerome the space he needs to tuck it into the far corner. The blame should lie on both Howard for coming then staying in the first place, then Distin for turning into a spaz and hitting it out for a throw.

Would love someone to do one those videos of all the touches a player has during the game, he was really good last night even if he was at fault for the goal, people trying to scapegoat him of all people last night is very odd.
Him and Barkley stood out as our best players for me last night.

he slipped ,it was hardly a fault as in,he didn't lose his man .Ithought he was head and shoulders above any of the Everton side last night.

That would never have happened in the first place if TH had moved his backside off the line to pick up a simple lofted ball he let Distan give a needless dangerous throwing away in which fetched the vital 3rd goal. Distan had more than one word with TH over that incident lazy goalkeeping at its best !
