Marco Bizot - signed

That's why they tried to nick Martinez. I still think his head isn't right thats the second time he's pulled out just before kick off. Is he trying to force the issue by pissing off Unai?

What was the first time?

I mean yeah, maybe Martinez is being intentionally disruptive and pulled out of the game really late to piss Emery off or maybe he had a bit of discomfort during the warm-up, spoke the medical team and they recommended keeping him out. Up to you which you choose to believe I guess.

I assume the Palace game where the precise timeline isn't clear on who decided he shouldn't be playing and when.

Although it obviously wasn't quite so up-to-the-minute as yesterday.

He also pulled out of the man united away game last season just before half time.

The way Bizot was talking about Emi, it’s sounds likes a brilliant pro and nothing but supportive. My reckoning is he was injured in the warm up.

Wasn't it an issue with his calf?

That’s what was reported. Not anything to do with him being disruptive which I find very hard to believe.
