Ok first half, awful second.

Reality is though that with players away on international duty and yesterday won't have been full on training, so we've probably only had 1 proper training session with everyone. Going to take a lot more than that to wipe out the shite Bruce's coaches were teaching them.

Fucking Bruce. How many of these teams have managers that have been in charge less than two seasons, spent fuck all, and we still get dicked.

Thank god he's gone.

Poor second half. Injuries and the keeper mistake didn't help. Though that goal may have gone in anyway

Tuanzebe was very very good. Hutton, Whelan, Taylor and Elmo good too

Jack poor again. Delivery and set pieces awful

Hourihane was ok but faded

Hogan was utterly anonymous as is his wont

El ghazi was initially even worse but in the end actually started to do some things

Some very sloppy passing a clear need to work on attacking patterns of play

Disappointing. But this will take time

Abraham being out would be a blow. If he is, its got to be Kodjia surely

Fitness also clearly a problem

Shocking.

Grealish terrible, Whealan a joke, shit full backs and a complete travesty playing at number nine. Everyone else bar Axel was shite.

Let’s not underestimate the size of the job in front of Smith. Second half was Bruceesque in its lack of quality.
Hourihane is just not the midfielder we want/need him to be.

Axel was our MoTM by a country mile.

Well now he knows the situation we are in and the pathetic squad of so called players we have.

It's not a terrible squad. However we have lost that grit and resiluence at the back we had in many away games last season that we won 1-0. Now they're draws and defeats and it shows in the league table.

I know it sounds daft but you need games like this so that Smith and his coaches can see just how shit some of our players are.

1st half ok, 2nd very poor.

Bruce out !

He may have left the building but his influence on the team remains (for now)

Goal keeper, center half and left back a priority in January. Although fair play to Tuanzebe he looking better.

That second half was fucking terrible, really really poor.

Axel was our best player by a fucking mile. Hutton, Hourihane and Whelan were awful and Jack was once again poor, he really needs to start doing something.

Are we going to be able to spend much in January?  We haven't got time to fanny about trying to rehabilitate shit players.

Some very poor performance tonight.
Hourihane gave the ball away all night.
Taylor can’t seem to be able to kick a moving ball.
Hogan pointless
Elmo did nothing
Nyland at fault for a goal
Hutton all over the place and his starting position cost the winner
Albert was again ineffective.
El Ghazi rhymes with Khazi they did actually stop passing to him, utter shit.

All lessons I’m sure Mr Smith will have noted. Rome was not built ........
