Ah, didnt see the game. Just saw Mori had scored in the 90th minute
If its scored in injury time it will probably add another 30 seconds due to celebrations etc.
Said this before - Martinez has no track record of building a side with a proper defence in the league, and he seems to be doing nothing to correct that.
At Wigan, Martinez built a passing side but never seemed to reinforce his defence. When he took over from Hughes in the pre-season, Wigan went from conceding 45 goals under Hughes to 79 (!!!) goals in Martinez's first season. The next season, it was down to 61 goals. Then 62 the following season, and finally back to 73 and they got relegated. Martinez then moved to Everton while Moyes went to Man Utd.
Everton conceded 40 goals in the last season under Moyes. In Martinez's first season, they let in 39. In his second season (last season), they let in 50. In this third season, they've let in 32 in 22 games. At this rate, they'll end up shipping 55 to 56 goals by season's end.

They will be furious and understandably so, it was offside.
But it will further cement the view of many Bitters that while Martinez has many good qualities, he seems incapable of constructing a side and employing tactics that don't end up with with an attractive style but shitloads of dropped points and goals conceded.
Which is exactly why I was distraught when we were linked with him before we appointed Rodgers. Mad old Dave and his media chums quacked onn about the cup wins, and his 'revolutionary' tactical ideas with 3-4-3 that got a few results, but he was still relegated and he suffered some incredible defeats with 6, 7, 8 and whatever else scored against his Wigan team under him
He's defensively fucking clueless
And what's worse is that he actually has some really good defenders at his disposal.
They were a Xmas gift from my idiot wife, sorry, santa, to Luke. Four bastarding sets of minecraft papercraft things. Basically cardboard pop out templates of cubes that slot together to make, yep, a cube.
Some are grass, leaves, wood etc, all like in minecraft. Then there's 'tube heroes' & animals too, which are simply made of smaller cubes & rectangles that clip together.
Now they're all done he can make sets that mimic minecraft.
They sound like lots of fun.
You should be! Soon you'll have given up work to spend your days in a darkened room making minecraft replicas of the taj mahal & hanging gardens of babylon.
Minecraft. Jesus.
I don't get it. And this isn't some clueless middle-aged Dad blinking like a moron at new fangled tech. I'm the sad fucker who had been playing Xbox for 15 years and still does. But I look at my kids playing it and I'm like what the fuck are you supposed to do? It looks boring and retro and ....back to Halo 5

Imagine how relaxed I would be.
When the kid plays it he just runs around killing stuff, no building. It's all about the building!
I have spent the last year or so with that opinion but since I got it on the phone I have been messing about and it's a step up from most other time wasting phone activities.
Nah, it's boring. It's like lego, only with all the fun sucked out of it.
I tried repeatedly to enjoy it so I could play it with Luke, but I just can't. It's shite.
And don't even get me started on the whole trend of watching fuckers play minecraft (& other games) on YouTube. Luke asked for (& received), a stuffed toy 'tube hero' which is a stuffed toy resembling some sad fucker who sits & plays games on YouTube.
I say sad fucker, he's being paid hundreds of thousands a year to play games, so he's clearly a bright sad fucker.

My kids are the same. Stampy and his fucking whiney voice and Dan TDM. These cunts are making a fortune.
That stampeys voice is the sole reason Luke has headphones. I near through his tablet threw the window before I got him some.
I just don't get it. I always thought I'd know & understand what my kids were doing & following, but I'll never get that shit.
I don't get why you'd prefer to watch some cunt play a game & babble on whilst doing so, rather than just fucking play it yourself.
Just watched it again now. Mori scored exactly in the 90th and celebrated well into stoppage time, nearly 45 secs.
Everton can feel robbed by the offside but not time wise.
Fucking hell, I thought I was the only Stampy Longnose hater.
Huth is a fucking thug. As if we didn't know already.
If their main guys stay healthy. They've been incredibly blessed with good health, but they've got to be able to stay that way until the end of the season.
Mahrez and Vardy account for 28 out of 39 (71.8%) of their goals. The next guy is Okazaki with 4, and then there are four guys with 1 each. I don't recall if there's been another top four team that has had so much reliance on just two guys for goals.
If these two stay healthy and don't dip in form, then they'll have a chance to stay the course, but if one of them falls away, you'd think they'll be worried. With his short periods of recovery from injuries and surgery, I sense that Vardy's been pushing himself to play through some hurt.
Good results for us bar Spurs. It will take an epic meltdown for Leicester not to make top 4 now.
It doesn't actually. At this point, all it takes is 3 wins for West Ham and 3 for Leicester, for example, for them to possibly swap places. With 17 games to play, that is not outside the realm of possibility.
They already look like they're slowing down, scoring only 2 goals in their last 5 league games. There were tough games in that stretch (us, City, Spurs) but 1 goal in 2 draws against the likes of Bournemouth and Villa have to be concerning.
What % were Suarez & Studge?
Dan TDM and Stampy, who I assume is named because that's what people want to do to his face as soon as they hear him laugh
52 / 101; so about 51%. We got 29 goals from Gerrard (13), Sterling (9) and Skrtel (7) combined that season.
Actually, the question prompted me to go back and look at Vardy's and Mahrez's numbers, because I recall Gerrard scoring a good number of penalties that season. Wondered if Mahrez's and Vardy's goals were inflated by these gimmes. Turns out Mahrez has scored 4 while Vardy 3, so that's 7 goals (though Mahrez did miss yesterday) that might've gone to someone else. If they hadn't been taking their penalties, their combined contribution would've been about 53.8% (assuming whoever took them scored).
Which also then brings me to this stat: Leicester have been awarded 8 penalties in 21 games this season. That's amazing, considering that when we finished second under Rodgers, we took 12 penalties in 38 games which at that time already seemed a wonderful rate. 12 is also the highest number awarded in the previous 13 seasons, and has happened three times in this period (Palace and Chelsea are the other 2 teams to have earned that number over an entire season).

Lets not forget Stampy's girlfriend 'Squaishey' who manages to be ever so slightly more irritating than Stampy because she has absorbed his every verbal tic and mannerism and sounds exactly alike him. If there is one thing worse than sounding like Stampy it is modelling yourself on Stampy.
You need to invest in some headphones for your kid too!
I got some beats rip off style headphones (with a minion on where the beats logo usually is!) from China for £10 that are ace cos you can replace the shite 3.5mm to 3.5mm wire with a quality one (having gone through about ten cheap ones that failed quickly I shelled out on an ibra cable for about £5 that has lasted four months now).
Kids headphones always seem to fail in the wire or connector between wire & jack or headset, his usually only last a couple of weeks, these have lasted almost six months now.
Yeah, I got the kids headphones for Chrimbo. How do you replace the cable?
I bought beats copies cos they have two headphone jacks on the headphones themselves (one on each side), this means you can use a standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable.
It also means that Harrison can plug his headphones into Luke's using the other jack & listen to the same thing, which is used a fair bit more than I thought it would be.
