First, let's get the slight negatives out of the way, the original 11 was wrong..FACT! It wasn't until the 10th min sub of Barkley that we started to play..more on him in a min. Lukaku on the right was v strange, did nothing on the wing, it wasn't until he came inside that he shone for the 1st two goals. Aside from that, it was the performance I have moaned for all season. Aggression (unlike most games), getting in behind the back 4 & stretching the oppo back 4. Well taken goals from Naismith (a Moyes signing that was derided) & Lukaku, plus a own goal from Arteta after good work by Mirallas. Barkley put in a complete midfield performance, hassling the opposition and setting up attacks. Martinez finally listened to what I want, let's hope he adheres to it now. 3-0 blues

I can't argue with performances like that and it might have been our best one yet given the occasion. Some of the play was blob on and nobody had a bad game. It was a good sign to see Lukaku run to Martinez and it tells me that the rumours of him staying put are probably true.
Beat Sunderland and Palace and Moyes will be 12 behind us when we play with a possible 15 left. We need the Germans to beat them because if they win the Champions League we will have to get 3rd to qualify as 4th won't matter.
