Martinez sat next to Fred Elliott in the stands

[BobTheCharmer]

Right tomorrow we need to buy a defensive midfielder.

Cissokko is the football version of the cat from red dwarf

With none of the style or grace

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Was worried Lucas turned his knee when he first went down, hopefully its nothing too serious!

[dom9]

Is that his bad knee?

[Rigadon]

Lucas down, hope it's nothing serious...

We look better with a proper defensive midfielder. Not great - but better.

[danperkins]

Lucas had been poor this season but at least he/that type of player gives us balance. Gerrard further forward was so obvious.

a quality DM

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Contact was minimal at best certainly not the clearest of clear pens.

I'll agree the contact was small but running at pace and changing direction it really doesn't take much, I think they're always likely to be given now.

I think Linda went down at half time and offered a party for winning

[McDermotX]

**** !!!

[Exiled_red]

Henderson's effort well saved

[Daniel 7]

I think it's a classic 'striker draws the minimal contact' peno.

Certainly more of a pen than Sterling's last week IMO.

It was a french penalty

[RichC]

You've got to give Lucas credit, he's a proper pro; come on and has got on and made a difference in the short period he was on the pitch

Allen on for Lucas
