Is subbing Martins causing these late reversals?

was very obvious that martins was a huge miss today and it showed in our general play. ill be glad when he's back. but kudos to viduka for setting the goal up (didnt do much else, mind)

[Taylor Swift]

Not going to say a word. 

 

Just simply imply it. 

 

Whoa, if you didn't see how far they pushed us back or how hopeless we looked at times in the second half then you were watching a very different game. With Martins, we would have thrashed them. Without him, we scraped a win. We need him and it showed today.

Very much missed today in our attacking side. 

 

Just shows what that extra threat of his pace brings to the side.

 

I hope he's back for Boxing Day.

[Ronaldo]

by far our most important and influential player tbh

Are you joking? We missed Oba but the first two sentences are tripe in all honesty.

[Wullie]

Didn't miss oba today at all.

[Yorkie]

Team does badly without most influential player on the pitch shocker.

 

Martins name on the teamsheet gives me a shot of confidence, however mild. Desperately hope he's back for the coming games, West Ham at the very least.

[madras]

hasn't martins played down there the last couple of seasons ?

 

i know he has at least once and we never even put up a fight.
