Bar a few exceptions I don’t like our team much, or our manager.

Not to worry, nice and easy games against Leicester and Chelsea next.

Watching Liverpool when they lose possession they instantly close down AND put the tackle in. We do neither.  Marvellous and Luiz are way too slow.

...and (assuming that's what they've been instructed to do), have been ever-presents for most of the season. Us, West Ham and Norwich are taking the slow train to the Championship.

Well that was shocking. Three at the back threatened to make us look more solid for about three games but we're just as open at the back and outnumbered in midfield now. We might as well take Hause off and try something different. We didn't even carry any attacking threat in that half. Worst 45 of the season.

I have no doubt at the end of the manager will put our defeat down to star alignment, refs and VAR.

Who is Smith waiting for?!

Waiting for the Referee, so he can tell him how unfair life is.

That was as bad as the rest of the shit performances under Smith.

Dross, every fucking week it’s dross. Sort it the fuck out Dean. We’re terrible defensively and going forward.

This is crap. Too many distracted by Wembley, I think.

We've been shit for most of the season. Today is just another example of us not having a clue what we're doing.

We've been pisspoor.  I couldn't give a toss about whether there should have been a few bookings or not, the ref bears no responsibility for how rubbish we've been.  Smith and most of our players just aren't up to it.  It's them who deserve the criticism.

Lots of boos around us and well merited.

We've been playing all game as if we are trying to protect a lead and not doing that very well either. No shots..Awful..and not for the first time

Half time and only 1-0 down.

That's actually a bit of a touch.

 No shots yet.. getting battered by an organized team punching above their weight. No urgency, no direction.. no thanks.

I’m off for the rest of the day.. this isn’t acceptable nor is it entertainment.

Worst 45 of the season.

That's a strong claim.  Watford was even worse I reckon.
