This is a new low. I'm beginning to lose faith in Unai. The subs were too late and not bringing on Tammy when Watkins is just so bad is inexcusable.

Our back line has been shocking and why do we keep taking Dougie off?

Cannot believe he took Luiz off.
No Tammy.
And Onana stays on.

Think our seasons over tbh

Not necessarily, winning the Europa will guarantee CL

We strong with a fully fit 11 and confidence. Lose what we’ve lost, lose that momentum and we are bang average.

Where is our midfield? To keep playing with two midfield players and four attackers is suicide. Our lack of legs is this aging team gets ruthlessy exposed too often.

We'll lose but still be three points above Chelsea and Liverpool and top four in our hands.

A big issue we have is that too often we get battered. A lot more than any other 'top' side does over the last few years.

If Watkins scores that absolute sitter it's 2-3. Moments later it's 1-4. We literally don't know what were doing tonight.

That fourth goal was hideous. Stems from Rogers losing the ball easily then the midfield and defence getting through like butter.

Having said that, if we had Joao Pedro up front and they had Watkins we’d probably be in front.
