We were egregious. Let's hope we aren't when playing Wolverhampton Madrid.

Struggling with what the biggest problem was tonight. Manager or players or both?

No one, absolutely no one has the ability or confidence to actually take a player on and beat him. It’s all sideways, backwards and cross into the keepers arms. Jack is so so missed and shows up the inadequacies of the rest.

We have been poor for ages, but tonight confirms it all for me. Yes we have made progress this season but have a lot to do to talk about getting to the top 6. We are miles away for now

Wank.

I love how your mastery of the subtleties of the English language shines through at times like these. Captures it perfectly.
I took it as an instruction. It was a welcome 5 minute diversion.

Both for me. Not changing the team against bottom of the league was criminal and Smith deserves every bit of criticism he'll get just as he should take the plaudits for his decisions last Saturday. As for the players, utter bag of wank.

Prince Philip!

Stick him up front etc.

He'll still be alive when we play in China in the World Club championship. He can insult the hosts.

Sack of fucking shit tonight. Bollocks passing. Bollocks crossing. Bollocks urgency. A total lack of quality all across the pitch in that performance. A wake-up call if ever there was one.  Mcginn shit. Nakamba can't pass a ball. Ramsey not enough. Subs should have been made as soon as the sending off happened. Davis is a waste of space, might as well stick a centre half up front, he really is shit.

I know he doesn't give bollockings but he needs to issue one for that shite tonight.

I thought we were really poor. If you asked Sheffield Utd how they’d like to be attacked, 10 men or not, they’d say long balls and crosses from wide. Then we compounded it by really dreadful delivery into the box.

Elmo, Ramsey and Marv were really shown up tonight.

Did Targett or Elmo attempt to overlap once tonight? When the opposition is down to 10 men the fullbacks overlapping should be a given.

Targett has been superb all season but he was desperate tonight.

His crossing was comically inept.

Some of the crossing on the left side would have been a hell of a lot better if Traore had attacked the back post a lot better. The co-commentator (whoever he was) kept pointing it out. The one time Traore did he ended up knocking the ball down to McGinn? for a shot in the box.

Disapointing to say the least. I thought taking off Nakamba was a waste of a sub. If he just takes off Ramsey, he's still got Davis and Trez to use. Lots of effort but not a lot of quaility. Let's hope Jack is not too far away from fitness.

We could have played all night and not scored.

The crossing was especially pathetic.

Same all season though - if we fall behind, we rarely get anything out of the game.

Took the words out of my mouth. I’ll be honest and admit I’m not arsed about Europa League at all, but losing a game like this is unacceptable. Piss poor.

It was a last season performance, not 1 player played well. Elmo, sorry, nowhere near good enough, just watched the ball for their goal.
