First half was very good, working hard, created numerous chances should have been well ahead. Same players and Manager but more effort. Real game of 2 halves, how Maguire gets away with such little criticism is beyond me, he actually steps out of way for their opener to let Rogers a clear run into the box, then has a laugh with Rogers up the other end during our corner. But Martinez obviously was the main culprit, a world cup winner with a serious chip on his shoulder, when he spoke about more signings, he failed to understand that it was him we should be replacing.
He hasn't been the same player since his injury. Could and should be sold in Jan if we get any decent offer. Just put Yoro and Heaven in their, give them a chance, can't get any worse, no clean sheet all season.

Redcon1,
I agree with you Buddy.

Yes Redcon, quite right.
I think Martinez has checked out and sees himself at Barcelona next summer. let's see if a deal can be done with Barca in January with maybe one of their player's who is likely to leave, perhaps Balde or a midfielder.
Think Leny Yoro should be playing Centre Back, he has been decent of late and deserves to play his proper position. Whilst he is not electric, he has decent pace and we need to get some in the centre of defence.

He will pair up with Romero.

Don't even start me on Maguire. I am a self confessed hater of him as a player and will not be swayed.
He is absolutely pants and not a leader on the park either vocally or by example. Should never have been signed and definitely not for the joke price we paid.
If pointing, cutting needless holes in your socks, claiming offside for nearly every goal conceded, pulling your pants up for corners, adjusting your fringe or being out of position more times than a virgin looking for the G-spot then he is superb!
Seaweed is a perfect name for him. Floats around aimlessly. But in fairness to him there are another 20 players that need to look in a mirror.
SAD SAD DAYS!

Keefy that's not fair mate, Maguire marks very closely at corners granted it's our players he holds on to but it's easy to get the shirts confused lol.

I'm with you on that Keefy. He is pants, always has been. Whoever gave him an extension should be fired.

Yeah fair call Tim. My bad.
