Swansea v Everton. 11th April at 12.45.

To be fair, if the thick cnut wouldnt have picked the ball up in his own area, we wouldnt have won anyway as we had already gone our usual negative way. Pass, pass,pass, pass back to howard, howard pass to opposition. Everton lose all momentum. Sick of this sh1t now.

You have a vivid imagination , probably to fuel an agenda. Howard did not pass to the opposition once in the game..he was actually rolling the ball out to an Everton player quite often. For a lot of the time now we are not passing around in front of the opposition without purpose.Lennons goal and a few other good chances were the result of positive playing through the opposition. If you're sick of it, I suggest youre just generally sick of everything. Take a holiday.

Badly small time cave dwellers them swansea fans though arent they

Any club that allows someone into the ground that continually bangs a drum or plays music over the loud speakers when a goal is scored does not belong in this league

Mirallas would have played we would have won that, you have your best midfield player available you play him. Can not believe what I've seen this season in regards to team selections and tactics. He'll never learn and expect cleverly to be the man to fill in that left midfield spot that osman did today Permanently next season.

Martinez at fault for this I feel. as soon as kone made that foul in the second half he should of took him straight off. could tell we were terrified to get the ball any were near him in case he got sent off, buy no he just waits and waits and waits and waits. Barkley should of came off about 10 minute earlier aswell.

and baines should be banned from taking corners anymore. tbh I'd like to see Garbutt playing more.

think We played fantastically at time and from where we were a few matches ago that's more then up.

Listen Martinez is not perfect but come on! This is not at all on Martinez.

He had Naismith warming up almost immediately after the foul. Which occurred at 60 minutes and change. There were two chances to sub one at 62 and change. The last sub opportunity was at 64 and a half and was taken incredibly quick. Considering you probably want about 5 minutes to warm up. the penalty was at 67 minutes. The ball never went out. How can he make a change. It really is amazing that someone would try to say the penalty was even the least bit on Martinez. IT WAS COLEMAN. I love Coleman but the dropped points are all on him. There is no way around it. He doesn't blatently handle the ball in the box and it is 3 points.

Agree. Hate it.

That challenge on McCarthy by Williams. I've seen red's given for that type of challenge before. How Rangel didn't get booked is a mystery too. He made three clear fouls in that first half alone within 5 minutes of each other.

Naismith should have been ready from the start of half time. The fact he wasn't is another error on Martinez part.
At this level you need to make changes when they are needed and be prepared. Martinez wasnt and we conceded. Simple as that. Lots of people could see it

What a pointless game.

thought we got a point?

 

[IllinoisBlue]

I thought we played well most of the time against a decent side at their ground. It was good to see Pienaar back in the side. He did well before tiring. I was very disappointed in the crosses and corner kicks. Fabianski had no problems dealing with them. It seems the curse of this season is our habit of dropping points due to individual errors rather than poor team performance, and we are at it again. Hope it was a one off because it started to look like we had turned the corner.

 

[Carlito]

Good to see Pienaar playing well again.

He's the best.

 

[Ashtonian]

I'lltake a point. sSwansea have been a better team than us tthis season and we were at their ground.

Wehhaven't lost and perhaps we couldhave won with a fit lukaku so on to next game and we keep this uunbeaten run going

 

[banno]

Look at this from the pov of a month back: we had Newcastle, QPR, S'ton and Swansea to face. If you were told by someone then that we'd pick up 10 out of the 12 points on offer you'd have snatched their hand off.

Dont detract from a creditable result against a team enjoying their best PL campaign..

Can't argue with that but it worked out a game that we should have won but for our own failings. Lots of positives to be taken from it and I will but we actually gave them there goal which should not happen but you are right in saying I would have easily accepted a draw before kick off.

 

[davek]

A few hours from now when the dust settles this will be seen rightly as a half way decent performance and good point.

ALL the games we have left are winnable and we remain on track for the 50 point mark I had pencilled in a few weeks back.

 

[TGW89]

Coleman poor for pen but drop him. Behave. U watch the game

He had a good game, but in the days of Catterick and HK1 he'd have been dropped for that. It's principle. Nothing else.

I've backed him to the hilt this season, when everyone else has given up on him as a lost cause, and he'd come back better for it I feel.

Self inflicted wounds are always more difficult to accept.

Before the game and the announcement that Lukaku was out I wondered where the **** we could get a goal, so I'm not arguing with a 1-1 draw down there tbh!
