Right I'm going to spend the next 30 minutes on giphy planning my reactions.

Good info that, what were you saying about Martinez again?

Saw him on Mathew Street in some proper smart clobber singing "My Way" on full pelt. Lost his 'ed lad.

[maccavennie]

where is the team news??

 

[Zezti]

What has happened to Deulofeu?

He's a bit busy mate

 

[DanEFC92]

Osman and Gibson, two players who in all probability won't be here next season. Both afforded places on the bench. No Dowell, Davies, Connolly, etc etc.

Boring, uninspired, pointless, jokes, etc etc.

good game

 

[maccavennie]

at least Kev is given a game. Half of them don't even deserve to be on the bench let alone in the first team.

Not so long ago, while not being over the moon with that lineup, you'd have at least been confidence that we could or should beat Sunderland.

Now... I'd be surprised if we didn't put out a lifeless performance, have our goal peppered with a cricket number of shots and then eventually lose.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Not even in the squad! But hey, Martinez encourages the young players some say!

2 nothing games for us coming up, you would think (hope) the likes of Dowell and Connolly would be given starts in at least one of them.

no chance, the youngsters would show up the rest of the lazy beauts just like Connolly and Davies did in about 15 minutes against Southampton not to be seen again. That would be Martinez admitting that the shower of turd he's consistently been picking weren't up to the job

I'm surprised he hasn't tried to sell Pennington on Gumtree and tried Oviedo there again for the banter.

Hmmm maybe.

 

[Jib in lad]

At least have a go Everton.

.....looking like Stones at RB, my preference would be to play your strongest players through the spine of the team. RM clearly nervous of the RB situation following the semi final but I don't think these have a Martial on the left side. Defoe is the danger and we might have a direct weakness he can exploit.
