Steven Naismith

[BlueToff]

He'll start at Swansea, and deserves to in fairness.

It depends how we set up in regards to Kone. If we play a diamond again, then he'll play I'd imagine. If not and we play 4-2-3-1 then we need width, so Lennon has to come in.

Yeah he'll defo start.

But if he's playing crap, and breaking up all our attacks and stuff get him off ASAP boss yeah?

Having a certain poster on ignore makes this thread very funny

Hopefully it's me!

The best bit about his hat trick on the weekend was it was just after @bizzaro was banned on here so he couldn't take his moment in the sun and gloat to death about his continual backing for him.

I also urge you to all block him on Twitter for the LOLs.

I'd say yes, but Martinez won't

Still rather see him on the bench myself, the eaay choice is to starr him though thats a given.

Give kev a shot and if he sucks tell naismith to make an impact again, some players just suit being a super sub as their role

You can't drop a player who has scored a hat trick mate.

Martinez describes Naismith as 'a manager's dream' but warns that he is not guaranteed a starting place, despite the hat trick, due to competition for places!

What's most interesting is that a whopping 91% of people who voted in their poll think Naismith deserves to start.

I would start him with Lennon on the wing instead of Kone.

Would love to see us starting Lennon mate and with Mirallas or Deulofeu on the other wing instead of going with the predictable line up with Naismith. Would give us Kone, Naismith and whoever doesn't start between kev and del to be able to throw on to change the game if needed as well should we need to go a bit more direct/physical

I dont think Martinez would have appreciated Naismith's veiled criticism at being left out from the start of the season after the Chelsea game. He tried to use that hattrick to place pressure on the manager to play him from the off. It'd have had the opposite affect on me: I'd have told him straight off that he should leave team selection issues to me and that he wont get a start next game. It was very disrespectful to his manager and I hope Martinez does bench him to send that message out.
