This has been as poor a second half as we saw under Dean Smith. Really lethargic and tepid.

It really has. The inferiority complex is back.

Need to fuck that off as soon as.

Which we will under Gerrard.

He won't take performances like this.

Bit harsh, 7 day isolation so not much training and so you hit the wall by hour mark in these high intensity matches.

Them putting on Lukaku and sloppy start to second cost us here.

Yep. That has to have played a part in it. We look so much lower energy and with that comes a dip in concentration. We are also playing one of the best teams in Europe to boot. Not easy

Targett's crossing is terrible.

Targett should have took him down.

And that will be that. Penalty again to them. Lukaku has made a massive difference

Dreadful start to second half, we just never came back out and once they scored that was it we've been really poor. They haven't been that good.

Not at all. The manager isn’t there. The players have not practiced. There are massive mitigating circumstances. It’s been poor but we have to consider the real reasons as to why.

The modern game fucking sickens me. I miss the good old days of the 90s. I hate how fucking passive we are sometimes.

Amazed Konsa didn't get sent off for that.

Lukaku just made the difference I'm afraid. We have to work out what to do with Ings as our big money striker isn't working out.
