Whatever you say. My standards for "played well" are clearly a bit higher than yours it seems.

you in the right thread?
Mirallas was terrible today though. Lennon offered far more in about 20minutes, and added actual application and desire
lol
Someone was defending Rom by saying he had no help from Mirallas today and I was just agreeing with him but I forgot to insert the quote

He also played "well" against Young Boys, yet he managed to score 5 goals in two games there and none today. It's the difference in quality of opponents, effectiveness of manager's tactics, venue and the performances of his team mates which make his performance today pretty decent all things considered. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't poor.
I thought the whole team was poor, hence why I just said Lukaku was mediocre - par for the course basically. I'm not singling him out.
It's a miracle he's scored as many goals as he has in that team, with that balance, with that final third.
Mirallas/Barkley/Naismith all routinely out of position, all offering him nothing.
He is who he is. We signed him, play to his strengths.

Spot on.
How many times is he in the box alone with 4 defenders
Or need midfielders who are not all defensive - Barry played centre half in the first half today, and the opposition sat back - the two goals conceded were a joke one from a corner (again) - the other from a lucky deflection!
No creativity to score only two saves made by their Keeper!

There's no chance of Martinez ever lining up without at least two sitting midfielders. He'll always leave a lone striker isolated in big games.

did anyone else have a shot on target today. if they had howard in goal he would have had a double probably
TH had very little to do the odd flick over the bar , and pick the ball out of the net twice - he has not kept a clean sheet since returning - imo our defence looks shambolic with him behind them - Robles got us four league points a draw in the Derby, and a win away at Palace - no goals conceded with roughly the same defence?
RM needs to pl;ay the right Goal keeper , and a balanced attacking side to create chances for Lukarku!

exactly my point, i don't want yanks coming on here and saying "what could howard have done with both goals?" it's noot about that, it's about the confidence he's obviously taken out of our central defence. stones is starting to look a tad like distin from the start of the season now - he was utterly flawless before howard came back - it's not a coincidence imo and we've gone back to looking like relegation candidates like we did before howard's injury.

So does Mourinho and Pellegrini in many big games.
Rom's problem is that the 3 behind have been poor or selfish all season plus he's been a little unlucky.
However recently his performances have been really good and he's looking more and more a top class striker.
