The anti-Martinelli brigade seem very quiet

[WES]

Agreed, always been a fan, as you know. 2nd half we were outstanding across the entire team.

Gyokeres needed any sort of goal and thankfully got one. Inevitable he'd then get another.

I think a lot of the criticism of him is based on an expectation that he will be a certain type of striker i.e. skilful on the ball, when in fact he was bought precisely because he isn't that type of striker.

The key to getting the best out of him isn't for him to improve his skills, it's for him and his teammates to stop playing as though he has them.

Then all will be well

he was outstanding, I thought.

When we play teams that actually want to play football, his name should be on the team sheet, every time.

And I wonder if, as we get used to Gyokeres, Martinelli might need to get used to him more than anyone.

I actually think it is Gyokeres changing us, rather than us getting used to him, if you see what I mean.
