No excuses , that was garbage.

Fucking shambles getting out of there. Proper crush and police handy with their riot shields.

Lenglet's performance was Bednarekesque.

Lenglet's performance was Bednarekesque.

He was terrible. Looked entirely unarsed and like he wasn’t aware what he was meant to be doing

He was better after Chambers went off.

the managers thinking on team selection just doesnt make sense , why play watkins against hibs and the rest him in a bigger game tonight ? , why has moreno had no minutes at all in last 2 games , baffling

Against Hibs, we had to win to qualify. Against Legia, in theory we have 5 more matches to recover. However I agree, should have started strong and rested players once job was pretty much done.

I'd assume the Hibs game was deemed extremely important because a slip up left us not qualifying for the group stages. Tonight we can come back from. Or, Duran wasn't deemed ready to play as big a part when we played Hibs.

The back four and Martinez looked like they didn’t speak a word to each other all night. The passing around the back was painful to watch, although there was a lot of standing around in front of them. We seem to have slowed down a lot from last season or teams are working us out.

I think Mings is the last player in the whole squad Emery would have wanted to lose for a season. Like losing Gordon Cowans to that terrible leg break in a pre-season friendly, in ‘83 was it?

Yep a massive loss.

He provided physicality, aggression, was quick and a leader on the pitch .

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

I can only remember 4?

Only! Still pretty good.

[Hookeysmith]

Mcginn awful to the point of being anonymous last 3 games. Kamara the same.

Time for the Donk

[Villafirst]

You have to question why Ashley Young was let go. Still way better as an alternative than Chambers. Ash is also a good leader with years of experience. Baffling decision.

I suspect replacing Mings will become our priority in January, such a massive setback
