Not much to say after that. Think we should have started a stronger side, and tried to guarantee progression out of the group as early as possible. There's still a long way to go but it's a poor start.

We better beat Cheslea at the weekend and batter Everton next week too.

We were so lightweight, played like we were scared, they left the foot in a few times. The ref did nothing so we chickened out of almost every contact.
No leadership no passion no ambition.

Absolute garbage - the only one who remotely comes out of that with any credit is Duran. Chambers, Konsa, McGinn and Kamara somehow reached a new level of crap in their performances. Unai gets a 3/10 too.

Not the end of the world. Tough European away game.

We'll be fine.

Duran good goal.

Minutes for some squad players.

On to the next one.

Nah that’s the third time this season we have turned in a performance like that. This cannot keep happening.

In comparison with our form under Emery last season, we are struggling a bit.   We're hit and miss, have been battered by teams we were completing with last season, and have just lost another game to a team we shouldn't be conceding 3 goals against.

Mings is a massive loss. I didn't realise how big tbh.

But he'll sort it out I'm sure.

You said that with a smirk on your face.

Just the way I saw it mate. Five more games to go. Relax imo.

As Joe Cole just said, just a little kick up the backside.

We don't need another kick up the backside Joe Cole, we've had enough this season already.

Really disappointing lack of urgency 2nd half.

They waited until added time to really go for it.

Early days I know, but Tielemans has been very underwhelming so far. I had high hope for him before signing.

I thought we were OK going forward in the first half, but the defence was awful.

Chambers isn't the required standard at this level.

When the "big guns" came on we got worse not better.

Fair play to Olney and Duran, both should start on Sunday.

Utterly disappointing.
We looked unprepared (which for Emery is nearly unbelievable).

Incredibly poor starting 11.
 Over estimating the quality of our squad or disrespecting Warsaw, I don’t know.

Our lot looked like a team playing in a cup final…shit scared with stage fright.

We can’t keep having these games where basically the whole team drop their level by about 85%.

We should've played our strongest starting eleven. We had a much stronger starting 11 against Hibernian. Defence was woeful.....we miss Tyrone so much. Even Diego Carlos is still injured!
