Match Thread Swansea v Everton. 19th Sep at 15.00.

[Connor]

Not a clue how we haven't won there. Battered them.

Idiotic from Mirallas there too.

 

[Joey66]

Was it a pen on Naismith?

 

[ilikecheese]

Anyway...we were all over Swansea. Shame we didn't win that.

Have to laugh at the predictable responses on this forum. Conspiracies, moaning about martinez, fuming over a 0-0 draw in which we had the better chances. Better finishing and we win. But it's easier for people to repeat the same old tired crap about Barry, naismith whoever. Barry had a good game outside that foul on the edge of the box which was a result of ross losing the ball. The whole squad played a solid match outside of kone and rom's finishing

Make no mistake lids, we lost 2 points today, almost a defeat that, they were on the ropes the entire 2nd half, if it was boxing it would have been stopped.

 

[bluerobert]

bringing mirallas on for 2 minutes, is he trying to mug him off. Something going on between Martinez and kev for sure.

It's only mugging him off if you think the player is bigger then the club. He's been asked to do a job so Ross could get the recognition his performance deserved mate. He thought it was an insult and acted like a prat

What's happening Wednesday?

Celebrating Everton's win on Tuesday

 

[DanB90]

Are people actually blaming Martinez for Mirallas getting sent off?
Hahahahahaha

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Martinez has handled Mirallas very poorly.

 

[Brennan]

It's Mirallas fault obviously but Martinez seems to have issues with Mirallas, getting him to sign a new contract most likely based on him being an important player and yet he never gets a look in and instead gets brought on at 90 minutes. You could see he looked annoyed whilst waiting to come on, he looked equally pissed on the bench during the Chelsea game. Just doesn't strike me as particularly good man management. Doesn't excuse Mirallas being a tit though.

He's a grown man. If he wants to be in the starting eleven then throwing in daft challenges is not the way to do it. Nobody forced him to sign a new deal, he did so because he knows that he couldn't get a better deal anywhere else.

West Ham were his biggest suitors in the summer ffs

 

[Seanjd]

Like I say the timing of the sub was ridiculous his subs are worse than moyes subs all day

Yeah actually, you're right. How dare the manager insult Mirallas in such a way. This isn't the first time he has shown he is a purely selfish player.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Frustrating that. We've won half points on offer. We do that till end of season we'll sit about 8th give or take. So these are the games we need to turn into wins if we're gonna push for Europe.

 

[Joey66]

We're losing to Reading in the League Cup.

The pessimistic character with the crab apple face!

Jesus absolute christ

 

[Chang Elephant]

I blame Martinez for the sending off
