How the chuffin hell  has Tielemens not scored or at least side footed it to Watkins?! Severely underwhelmed by him so far.
Agreed but Ollie would have missed anyway, what a truly terrible performance

The one plus tonight was Duran. I was surprised he was subbed but that’s 5 for him this season and he deserves a start in the league.
The worry is the midfield and especially Kamara. He’s a great player but tonight they were walking past him. Tielemans didn’t help and the less said about the comedy defending the better. A terrible performance but the experience will help and hopefully we won’t turn up next time thinking we’ve already won the game.

Just the way they talk about him, I feel like he's not a 90 minute player. Hopefully that's just a matter of building him up bit by bit.

I’m hoping the experience will help, but this type of performance is happening with alarming frequency this season.

It was disappointing to say the least. The midfield and defence were just shocking. I dont think too many other than Duran come out of it with too much credit.

Long way to go though. We've got games where we can make amends and hopefully we'll find out feet as it progresses. Disappointed but not too worried.

I’ve missed the match as in London with work. Was gutted I couldn’t watch it.
But sounds bad. 
Were we that bad?  The line up looked okayish

I think part of the problem is our playing style is so slow. We started that way and Martinez was still wasting time when there were only 5 minutes to go. Too many changes defensively also didn’t help matters. Only Duran came out of this match with any credit. Watkins is getting worse by the match so, either sign your contract or F off. We need all the players to put their all into every match.
So many players looked like they couldn’t be arsed tonight. I just hope that Unai can get our attitude right sharpish but, sometimes, I do think that he over thinks things. The time we look at our best is when we are attacking and move the ball quickly but, we don’t do it often enough. Tonight, we were playing sideways and backwards too often and Legia were closing us down quickly so we, more often than not, were giving the ball away too often.

If even Clamps says it was awful, you know it was awful.

That’s the worry and if they hadn’t sat back to protect what they had tonight I reckon they’d have scored more. The defending was laughable at times tonight and Chambers especially bad but both fullbacks had no help from the midfield. Last season the whole team defended as a unit so what’s happened this season?

Don't bother, watch something a bit more cheerful. Eastenders should be on the iPlayer.
